Dr. Cassandra Hall Receives RAS Winton Award

The Royal Astronomical Society Award Winners Announced

Congratulations to Dr. Hall! The Royal Astronomical Society has named her winner of the 2021 Winton Award in Astronomy.

While studying a thin-film material called strontium stannate (SrSnO3), University of Minnesota researchers noticed the surprising formation of checkerboard patterns at the nano scale similar to structures fabricated in costly, multistep processes. Their results show the realistic possibility of designing similar self-assembled structures with wide applications in materials for electronics and optical devices.

Researchers develop new one-step process for creating self-assembled metamaterials

The discovery is big step forward in creating new materials used in a variety of applications including optical devices and sensors
