KieranTimberlake is happy to announce the release of a new monograph, KieranTimberlake: Inquiry, written by Stephen Kieran, James Timberlake, and Karl Wallick, and published by Rizzoli.

How do we design a building to support the movement of molecules?

The Brockman Hall for Physics at Rice University, recipient of $11.1 million in federal stimulus funding from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, was completed in January 2011 after a compressed design and construction schedule of just 33 months, an extremely short timeline for a facility of its kind. The building became fully occupied in June 2011. It is the new home for dozens of experimental, theoretical and applied physicists who were formerly scattered in as many as five buildings across campus. Brockman Hall supports a wide range of research from Rice's departments of Physics and Astronomy and of Electrical and Computer Engineering, including atomic, molecular and optical physics; biophysics; condensed matter physics; nanoengineering and photonics.
