Xioli Tan is the worldwide expert on in a technique called in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM), used to examine crystal structure dynamics. Tan lent his TEM expertise to a recent paper in Physical Review Letters on the atomic understanding of a type of perovskite antiferroelectic material.
Pete Collins, Alan and Julie Renken professor of materials science and engineering, received two awards for the significance of his paper.
President Wendy Wintersteen recently sent two letters to the campus community condemning racist acts at Iowa State University. A forum was held on Nov.7 with Students Against Racism in which the ISU leadership team outlined 10 actions to help address the campus climate. I want you to know I am strongly supportive of these actions and expect our students, faculty and staff to join me in also condemning racism, white supremacy, anti-Semitism and xenophobia.
