Writings on condensed matter physics for a general audience:
A mini-review for Nature, “The birth of topological insulators”, is available here.
I (JEM) served on a DOE Grand Challenges subcommittee chaired by Graham Fleming (UCB/LBNL) and Mark Ratner (Northwestern). The resulting report is “Directing Matter and Energy: Five Challenges for Science and the Imagination” (large file).
My own involvement was primarily with the fourth chapter, on the emergence of collective phenomena.
As part of the viewer’s guide for the powerofsmall.org website, I wrote an introduction to nanoscience and nanotechnology for lay readers, on pages 5-7.
Primary support for group research is provided by the National Science Foundation through UC Berkeley and the Department of Energy through Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
Questions about this site should be directed to Joel Moore. The picture of the Hopf invariant is by Ken Shoemake (Penn).
Last full update January 2009.
