Partnership with Museum of Science and Industry
• The NU-MRSEC has partnered with the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry to create a new exhibit focused on materials science and society, scheduled to debut in Spring 2015.
• The exhibit is designed in a manner that it can be easily moved to other locations following its run at the Chicago MSI.
• Approximately 1.5 million guests, including >300,000 children in school groups visit the Museum annually.

Cyberlearning: Materials iLab
11,586 users worldwide have run nearly 16,643 experiments to date
• iLabs are online experimental tools that allow pre-college and college students to access scientific instruments housed at universities to conduct experiments via the internet.
• Use of iLabs has been shown to improve student inquiry skills and experimental design skills resulting in more authentic scientific investigations

Electric Current Rectifying Device That Is Completely in Liquid State
G. I. Guerrero García, K. Raidongia, J. Huang and M. Olvera de la Cruz Northwestern University Materials Research Science and Engineering Center
In recent years there has been an increasing interest in the development of electronic devices using non-conventional soft matter materials, as a novel alternative to traditional solid-state electronic devices. Traditional solid-state devices are often fragile and usually are made of non-biocompatible materials. The possibility of producing resilient nano-electronic devices opens a new avenue to develop novel technology.

Extracting Electronic Structure in Amorphous Oxide Semiconductors from Photoresponse
Jiajun Luo, D. Bruce Buchholz, Robert P. H. Chang, Alexander U. Adler, Thomas O. Mason, Jeremy Smith, Xinge Yu, Tobin J. Marks, and Matthew Grayson Northwestern University Materials Research Science & Engineering Center
• Amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOS) provide superior performance and lower cost for next generation displays. However, instability under illumination remains a critical issue.
• In this work, the photoconductivity decay was investigated to deduce deep trap density.
