Peidong Yang has received the 2007 Alan T. Waterman Award, NSF’s highest honor. The foundation praised Yang for his research into nanowires, which show promise for devices ranging from lasers and computer circuits to solar panels and biological sensors. An associate professor of chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, Yang will receive a medal and a grant of $500 000 over three years.
This fall, condensed-matter physicist and materials scientist Jinke Tang will be leaving the University of New Orleans to join the faculty of the physics and astronomy department at the University of Wyoming.
