Hage wins 2022 AACC Merit Award
The American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC) has chosen David Hage as the winner for its 2022 award for Outstanding Contributions to Education in Clinical Chemistry. This award recognizes an individual who has devoted a major portion of his/her professional life to enhancing the practice and profession of clinical chemistry through education. Hage and his students are interested in the theory, development, and use of affinity-based separations in high-performance liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis, with an emphasis on clinical and biomedical applications. He has been a research mentor to over 80 undergraduate students and 75 graduate students, resulting in roughly 80 Ph.D. or M.S. degrees and with many of these students entering the fields of clinical chemistry or biomedical research.

Husker team demonstrates that MoS2 is ferroelectric
Alexei Gruverman, Alex Sinitskii, and colleagues (including Evgeny Tsymbal) have demonstrated that molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is ferroelectric. The vertical separation and arrangement of negative vs. positive charges in ferroelectric materials can be instantaneously flipped just by applying some voltage. Those oppositely aligned, or polarized, states can be read or stored as the 1s and 0s of binary data, with the states remaining even when a power source has been cut.
