Kanit Hantanasirisakul and Asia Sarycheva successfully defended their Ph.D. theses and now have joined DNI alumni. Their Ph.D. research shed light on some important aspects of optoelectronic properties (Kanit’s  Ph.D. research) and Raman spectroscopy (Asia’s Ph.D. research) of MXenes. Congratulations to both of them!

On Monday, April 19th, 2021, Professor Yury Gogotsi delivered a highly prestigious Manuel Cardona Lecture at the Institut Català de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia (Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology) in Barcelona. Cardona was a Barcelona-born physicist and one of Spain’s most prominent scientists, who was also one of the most cited physicists in the world (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_Cardona).…

Drexel University is helping to establish a global trade association for researchers, manufacturers and companies that are working with MXenes. Called the MXene Association, it will serve as the professional body to establish standards and best practices, connect researchers and corporations and promote the research and development involving the materials. Drexel is a charter founding…
