Critical minerals are hiding in plain sight in U.S. Mines
Researchers found that U.S. metal mines already contain large amounts of critical minerals that are mostly going unused. Recovering even a small fraction of these byproducts could sharply reduce dependence on imports for materials essential to clean energy and advanced technology. In many cases, the value of these recovered minerals could exceed the value of […]
New state of quantum matter could power future space tech
A UC Irvine team uncovered a never-before-seen quantum phase formed when electrons and holes pair up and spin in unison, creating a glowing, liquid-like state of matter. By blasting a custom-made material with enormous magnetic fields, the researchers triggered this exotic transformation—one that could enable radiation-proof, self-charging computers ideal for deep-space travel.
Miracle material’s hidden quantum power could transform future electronics
Researchers have directly observed Floquet effects in graphene for the first time, settling a long-running scientific debate. Their ultrafast light-based technique demonstrates that graphene’s electronic properties can be tuned almost instantaneously. This paves the way for custom-engineered quantum materials and new approaches in electronics and sensing.
Century-old catalysis puzzle cracked by measuring a fraction of an electron
Scientists have directly measured the minuscule electron sharing that makes precious-metal catalysts so effective. Their new technique, IET, reveals how molecules bind and react on metal surfaces with unprecedented clarity. The insights promise faster discovery of advanced catalysts for energy, chemicals, and manufacturing.
Stanford discovers an extraordinary crystal that could transform quantum tech
Stanford scientists found that strontium titanate improves its performance when frozen to near absolute zero, showing extraordinary optical and mechanical behavior. Its nonlinear and piezoelectric properties make it ideal for cryogenic quantum technologies. Once overlooked, this cheap, accessible material now promises to advance lasers, computing, and space exploration alike.
MIT quantum breakthrough edges toward room-temp superconductors
MIT scientists uncovered direct evidence of unconventional superconductivity in magic-angle graphene by observing a distinctive V-shaped energy gap. The discovery hints that electron pairing in this material may arise from strong electronic interactions instead of lattice vibrations.

This article about the title page is part of the series on how to write your dissertation. Every dissertation, thesis or research paper starts with a title page that explains in one glance what it is about, and who wrote it. Each university should have its own specific template (e.g. template from KU Leuven), but in the case that it does not, be sure that your title page contains at least the following elements:

1. Title page format

It is often the case that the university has a specific format for the dissertation, including the title page. Check your university’s website for a Word, or Latex template. Another case might be that the format is dependent on the citation style that you are using. Certain styles have guidelines on how alignment, page numbering and other elements.

2. Examples and templates

Below you find several examples from different universities. You can use these as a template for your own title page, or take a look at Overleaf, they have a gallery full of templates for you to use. I personally wrote it using their online software, and I can recommend it.
