Making More MXene — Researchers Unveil a Scalable Production System for the Promising, 2D Nanomaterials
For more than a decade, two-dimensional nanomaterials, such as graphene, have been touted as the key to making better microchips, batteries, antennas and many other devices. But a significant challenge of using these atom-thin building materials for the technology of the future is ensuring that they can be produced in bulk quantities without losing their quality. For one of the most promising new types of 2D nanomaterials, MXenes, that’s no longer a problem. Researchers at Drexel University and the Materials Research Center in Ukraine have designed a system that can be used to make large quantities of the material while preserving its unique properties. Read the full story here.
Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting 2020
Drexel PhD Candidate Ariana Levitt (advisors: Y. Gogotsi and G. Dion) and former visiting doctoral student, Ameer Al-Temimi from Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (co-advised by Y. Gogotsi), have both been selected for the 70th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting 2020. This meeting brings together excellent young scientists of all natural science disciplines. They will have the unique opportunity to meet around 70 Nobel Laureates for cross-generational and interdisciplinary exchange. Ariana and Ameer were selected from thousands of candidates across the globe. Read more here.
Congratulations to Ariana and Ameer!
