Drexel Engineering graduate programs were once again ranked among the best in the nation by US News & World Report in its annual Best Graduate Schools/Engineering report, earning a spot at #82 on the national list. Additionally, several graduate engineering programs were highly rated in their categories with Materials Science ranking #35.   https://drexel.edu/engineering/news-events/news/archive/2022/March/graduate-programs-recognized-by-us-news/

Yury Gogotsi was quoted in a March 22 Ceramic Tech Today post about his recent publication suggesting that electrochemical energy storage mechanisms exist on a spectrum, rather than being discrete processes.  https://ceramics.org/ceramic-tech-today/energy-1/researchers-advocate-for-viewing-energy-storage-mechanisms-as-a-continuous-spectrum  

Research by Yury Gogotsi, PhD, Distinguished University and Bach professor, and Michel Barsoum, PhD, Distinguished Professor, both in the College of Engineering, was highlighted in an April 5 AZO Nano story about the development of MXene materials https://www.azonano.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=6076

HORIBA Scientific featured Yury Gogotsi and the group’s work on MXenes and the many applications of MXenes in an article titled “MXenes are revolutionizing nanotechnology with the help of Raman Spectroscopy”. Read the article here: https://bit.ly/3jcWGRn  

Yury Gogotsi delivered a tutorial lecture to Yonsei’s Materials Science and Engineering Department on invitation of Professor Seong-Ju Hwang on March 22. 

In our article in Nature Energy (IF>60) we propose that there is a continuum between double-layer capacitance and Faradaic intercalation that is dependent on the specific confinement microenvironment. We also discuss open questions regarding electrochemical capacitance in porous and layered materials and how these lead to opportunities for future energy technologies. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41560-022-00993-z#citeas More on our…

Yury Gogotsi will serve as a plenary speaker at the International Conference on ‘Battery Science and Technology in 2022’ June 2-4, 2022.
