Mostafa Bedewy Advances Nanotube Manufacturing
Mostafa Bedewy, a Pitt engineering professor, is leading an NSF-funded project to improve nanomanufacturing by studying how iron nanoparticles grow carbon nanotubes. His team uses advanced microscopy and machine learning to predict which particles act as “nano-seeds” to enable more efficient and scalable production of these high-performance materials.
Simranjeet Singh and Jyoti Katoch Advance Spintronics at CMU
Carnegie Mellon professors Simranjeet Singh and Jyoti Katoch developed a novel method to electrically read magnetic states using out-of-plane spin currents, advancing spintronic technology. Their two-layer system enables compact, energy-efficient data storage, with Katoch emphasizing the importance of atomically clean interfaces in detecting tunable signals.
