Congratulations to Liam! He was accepted into Rensselaer's 2016 Summer Undergraduate Research Program.
Liam, we're happy to have you in the lab with us this summer.

Sam says Good-bye to HECL (Dec 15, 2015). In Spring 2016 Sam will join another research group at Rensselaer. Good luck Sam! Thanks for the work related to STM gold tip fabrication.

Prof. Lewis serves as a role model for young women scientists in order to bridge the STEM gap. Read the story in the Rensselaer Alumni Magazine - Spring 2015 (page 18).

Temperature Dependent and Bistable Current-Voltage Measurements in Zinc Porphyrin Molecular... We report bistability in current-voltage curves from di(PEP)PorZn in an electromigrated molecular junction. Bistability was observed at ±0.3 V at 300 K, but did not occur at 4 K. No bistability was identified at 300 K for another porphyrin molecule (di(Xyl)PorZn) where the phenyl-ethnyl-phenyl (PEP)…

Congratulations to Teresa Esposito and Andrew Horning! They were inducted into the Sigma Pi Sigma Physics Honor Society on April 29, 2015 at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Congratulations!

Congratulations to Sam and Rish!! They won First Place in the Applied Category in Rensselaer's Sixth Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium. The title of their project was, "Optimizing Fabrication of Gold Scanning Tunneling Microscope Probes through Electrochemical Etching".
