Watch a group of teens immersed in a popular video game such as Among Us and you will see a textbook definition of successful engagement. Well-designed games ones with clearly stated goals, an emphasis on storytelling, an allowance for productive failure, and an emphasis on supportive teamwork and inclusiveness can point the way to a better classroom environment, too, says University of Alabama at Birmingham s Lauren Rast, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the College of Arts and Sciences Department of Physics.
Rast is a UAB pioneer in a mode of instruction called gameful learning. Faculty in the Department of Physics already have applied gameful learning in their increasingly popular online courses. And in a series of workshops for high school physics teachers inspired by her own work as a computational physicist, Rast has helped teachers share the benefits of gameful learning with teens around Alabama. Her Coding with Physics courses also promote self-efficacy an
Light-Induced Lattice Twisting can Photogenerate Giant Electric Current
Written by AZoOpticsJan 20 2021
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy s Ames Laboratory and collaborators at Brookhaven National Laboratory and the University of Alabama at Birmingham have discovered a new light-induced switch that twists the crystal lattice of the material, switching on a giant electron current that appears to be nearly dissipationless.
The discovery was made in a category of topological materials that holds great promise for spintronics, topological effect transistors, and quantum computing.
Weyl and Dirac semimetals can host exotic, nearly dissipationless, electron conduction properties that take advantage of the unique state in the crystal lattice and electronic structure of the material that protects the electrons from doing so.
