The wallpaper images represented many of the most iconic scenes of the Pete Carroll era — Carroll, John Schneider and Paul Allen accepting the Super Bowl trophy, Marshawn Lynch’s “Beast Quake’’ run, Richard Sherman’s tip against the 49ers, Russell Wilson holding aloft the George Halas Trophy following the 2015 NFC title game, among others.

The Rice University lab of nanotechnology pioneer Naomi Halas has uncovered a transformative approach to harnessing the catalytic power of aluminum nanoparticles by annealing them in various gas atmospheres at high temperatures.

"Our ultimate goal is to revolutionize catalysis, making it more accessible, efficient and environmentally friendly," said Halas, who is a University Professor, Rice's highest academic rank.

The Halas group has been developing aluminum nanoparticles for plasmonic photocatalysis reactions such as decomposition of dangerous chemical warfare agents and efficient production of commodity chemicals.
