PhD student Alex Greene studies superconducting quantum computing systems while rounding out their busy schedule with water sanitation projects.

Simple microparticles can beat rhythmically together, generating an oscillating electrical current that could be used to power microrobotic devices.

Prizes in the materials science competition also went to a waste-monitoring device and a nanofiber-based yarn.

New tools can accommodate samples from small pieces up to 200 mm wafers.

The technique could be used to fabricate computer chips that won’t get too hot while operating, or materials that can convert waste heat to energy.
