Professor Hongtao Ding and his team at the University of Iowa have developed a novel laser-based metasurface fabrication (LMF) process that can produce large-size, transparent, and conductive films on quartz substrates.

Professor Hongtao Ding and his research team at the University of Iowa have developed a groundbreaking method using nanosecond laser technology to create metal surfaces with customizable wettability and reflective properties. 

A multidisciplinary team of University of Iowa engineering faculty will contribute to a $20 million, multi-institutional project to boost Iowa’s position as a leader in bioscience and advanced manufacturing.

Steven Tian joins the group as an undergraduate summer research intern.

The research findings of several University of Iowa scientists was featured on the front cover of the Royal Society of Chemistry's Chemical Communications journal.

Despite their excellent strength-to-weight ratio, wider use of magnesium (Mg) alloys for light-weight applications is limited by their poor corrosion resistance, especially in chloride-containing environments.
