The Park group designed 2D wafers with the ability to guide visible light on a millimeter scale. Their publication in Science shows how they use different surface features, as shown in this image, to enable the wafers to refract, focus, or modulate the intensity of light.

Several members of the JFI are part of the leadership for the National Institute for Theory and Mathematics in Biology (NITMB), a collaboration between UChicago and Northwestern funded by the NSF and the Simons Foundation. The institute is accepting applications to its postdoctoral fellowship program.

The Center for Living Systems (CLS) is a new NSF Physics Frontier Center led by Margaret Gardel and Arvind Murugan, awarded $15.5 million to study the intersection of biology and physics. The center is currently accepting applications to its postdoctoral fellowship program.

The Mazziotti group observed a transition and coexistence between superconductor and exciton condensate states in a cuprate-like modeled material. Their publication in Physical Review Materials suggests that, in the three-band Hubbard model, increasing electron-electron repulsion moves the system’s state from superconductor to exciton condensate.
