by Sajid Choudhury 08 Jan '18

08 Jan '18

Dear all, NSAC is helping Indiana Blood Center to organize a blood drive. Please see below and sign up to volunteer. *NSAC* *Blood Drive* *Monday, January 22nd 11:00 *am* - 4:00 *pm *Birck Nanotechnology Ctr* – Rm 1001 1205 W State St ~ W Lafayette, IN 47907 Discovery Park *Click here to sign up! <https://www.donorpoint.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/119382>* *Eligibility* Donors must be 17 years old (16 with signed parent permission slip), meet height /weight eligibility requirements, <http://www.indianablood.org/Donors/Learn/Pages/Eligibilty.aspx> be in good general health, and present a photo I.D. at registration. Not sure if you are eligible? Visit the *eligibility* page of our website, or email specific questions to Eligibility <eligibility@indianablood.org?subject=re:%20Eligibility%20for%20Birck%20Nanotechnology%20Ctr/NSAC%20Blood%20Drive> . *More questions?* Contact: Jennifer Bean(jbean(a)indianablood.org <jbean@indianablood.org?subject=re:%20Birck%20Nanotechnology%20Ctr/NSAC%20Blood%20Drive> ). *http://bit.ly/NSACJan22 <http://bit.ly/NSACJan22>* *INFO*: Blood inventories are dangerously LOW, and there’s an urgent need for donations. In addition to the usual impact of the extended holiday season, the weather in the first week of January complicated collections (closings, delays, etc), AND an emergency order was filled, leaving local supplies depleted.

Cell Culture Basics Training Workshop - February 15 & 16 2018
by Kwok, Tim 08 Jan '18

08 Jan '18

Dear Fellow Scientists, The 3D3C workshop on basic cell culture techniques is scheduled on February 15 & 16, 2018. Participation in the workshops requires having REM biosafety training and bloodborne pathogen training. The course fee for the workshop is $250 (see flyer attached for more information). There is no prerequisite for the workshop. The registration deadline is January 26, 2017. If you are interested or have questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you. Sincerely, Tim Kwok Facility Manager 3D Cell Culture Core (3D3C) Facility Birck Nanotechnology Center Purdue University ________________________________ [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/b7d6d1ffee56a866e499104cf/images/e0234b03-0ea…]

Spintronics and Nanophysics Seminar - Fri., Jan. 5th at 10:30am in WANG 1004
by Turner, Jaime J 03 Jan '18

Spintronics and Nanophysics Seminar JANUARY 5, 2018 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM WANG 1004 Description Dr. Hiroshi Idzuchi, Harvard University Title: Josephson effect through van der Waals Ferromagnetic barrier Abstract: Van der Waals (vdW) material has been attracted much attention recently because of their unique features including the accessibility to atomically thin and flat single-crystalline heterostructure. The two-dimensional (2D) nature of these heterointerfaces often enhances quantum effect. The 2D spintronic effect in vdW heterostructures is remained largely unexplored as most of the ferromagnetic in vdW materials are found to be insulating, and thus inter-layer coupling is weaker than their metallic counterpart. In this presentation, we report that vdW ferromagnet can provide a unique opportunity to study the interplay of superconductivity and magnetism. We fabricated ferromagnetic tunneling device consisting of vdW ferromagnet and superconductor. We observed that the devices exhibit Josephson coupling through magnetic tunneling across 1-6 atomically thin ferromagnetic insulating layers. Our observation is in contrast with the lack of Josephson coupling reported across traditional ferromagnetic insulating materials such as EuS [1]. We also observed that our superconductor/ferromagnet hybrid devices show the hysteretic critical current against magnetic field sweep. Finally by fabricating SQUID device, we observed spin-mixing, i.e., additional Josephson phase is appeared in two superconducting wave functions. These observations open an opportunity to utilize a variety of spintronic effect to control the phase of Josephson coupling. [1] K. Senapati, M. G. Blamire, and Z. H. Barber, Nat.
