Research on Multiferroics in AMReL

Experimental setup at Advanced Materials Research Laboratory for the synthesis of multiferroic systems. Multiferroic materials are remarkable because they can exhibit more than one "ferroic" property in the same phase. Taking advantage of the coupling between different ferroic properties within a single phase, multifunctionality could be incorporated in a single device component. Thus, multiferroics hold potential for further advancement in device miniaturization.

James Patton's lab part of new center award on Traumatic Brain Injury

The Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC) Brain Injury Rehabilitation Program named a "Model System of Care" by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR). It will become one of a network of 16 facilities nationwide with this designation and is named the Midwest Regional Traumatic Brain Injury Model System. Funds received from NIDRR will support two new research studies that focus on innovative approaches to improve cognition, function and community living for people with brain injuries. Patton's group will focus on one of these utilizing robotics, virtual reality and new scientific models to examine rehabilitation treatments for brain injury patients.
