We (a big team including researchers at UW-Madison, Cornell, Argonne National Laboratory, the ESRF, DePaul University, Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, Kangwon National University, and the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory) just had a really nice paper come out Nano Letters! It reports how subtle structural features of a complex oxide change after ultrafast optical excitation. The work includes diffraction studies conducted at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory's X-Ray Free Electron Laser an intense source of very short-duration x-ray pulses. The specific features were associated with the orientation of oxygen octahedra within the oxide and have implications for its magnetism and ferroelectricity. https://lnkd.in/gHsjMqNi

Today I am thrilled to welcome Prof. Carlos Gershenson, PhD., as our new Head of Science, Complex Systems, at ComplexChaos! Carlos was a visiting researcher at the Santa Fe Institute. The role of SFI in inventing complexity science has inspired me, our mission "to help humanity cooperate at scale", and obviously the name of our company. Complexity arises in any system in which many agents interact and adapt to one another and their environments and often surprising "emergent" behaviors arise at the macro level. Complexity science attempts to find common mechanisms that lead to complexity. Originally from Mexico and trained as a computer scientist, Carlos brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, currently serving as the Empire Innovation Professor at Binghamton University and UNAM, President of the Complex Systems Society, advisor to Scientific American, and former researcher and visiting professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Carlos has also consulted for clients such as Intel Corporation and Uber. Welcome Carlos!

Thomas Alva Edison (1847 – 1931), American inventor, scientist and businessman, can be considered a great entrepreneur of his time. In fact, numerous inventions and creations of his own have immensely contributed to improving the quality of human life in addition to encouraging the creation of many jobs. In addition to patenting, he financed the development of many important devices in the industrial field. Among his countless inventions and creations, we can mention the phonograph, the kinestocope, the dictaphone, the coal bead microphone for the telephone and, mainly, the incandescent electric light bulb. Thomas Edison, therefore, constitutes one of the precursors of the technological revolution of the 20th century, having been one of the first to apply the principles of mass production to the invention process. He also perfected the telephone and the typewriter. Thus, he has obtained more than 2,000 patents worldwide. Indeed, due to so many inventions and creations, he was called "The Wizard of Menlo Park". I dare say that he literally represented a light, or rather, a colossal beacon guiding the progress of humanity as an inexhaustible source of inspiration and innovation.

Notable Black Innovators: Otis F. Boykin Otis Frank Boykin was an African American inventor and engineer. Boykin was born in 1920 in Dallas, Texas. He is known for developing electrical resistors that are used in a variety of critical applications, including computing, missile guidance systems, and pacemakers. Boykin earned a scholarship to Fisk University, where he studied while working as a laboratory assistant at a nearby aerospace laboratory. Despite his potential, Boykin left Fisk in 1941, likely because of financial difficulties. After leaving Fisk, Boykin moved to Chicago, where he embarked on a career that would see him rise from a clerk at Electro Manufacturing Company to a foreman at the Majestic Radio and Television Corporation. By 1944, Boykin had joined P.J. Nilsen Research Labs, where he began to delve deeper into electronic research. In 1946, Boykin enrolled at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) to further his education. However, after two years, he left IIT without completing his degree, again likely because of financial constraints. In the 1950s, Boykin worked as the chief engineer at Monson Manufacturing Corporation. By the early 1960s, he was a senior project engineer at the Chicago Telephone Supply Corporation (CTS Labs), where he conducted much of his research on pacemakers. Boykin eventually started his own consulting and research company. Over the course of his career, he patented 26 different devices. Among his most notable inventions was an improved wire resistor, which was used in IBM computers, guided missiles, and other electronic devices. This resistor was particularly valuable because its design reduced inductance and reactance, making it more efficient and reliable. Boykin’s most famous invention, however, was a control unit for the artificial cardiac pacemaker, a device that uses electrical impulses to maintain a regular heartbeat. This invention has saved countless lives and remains a cornerstone of modern medical technology. #BlackScientist #InnovativeMind #ScienceTrailblazer #DiverseInnovation #STEMLeader #InnovativeScientist #DiversityInScience #TrailblazingScientist #ScientificInnovation #BlackExcellence #ScientificInnovation #DiverseGenius #STEMTrailblazer #Innovation #Computing #History #Pioneers #blackhistorymatters #inventions #inventor #innovation #engineering #Technology #STEM #Inspiration #techinnovation #InnovativeMind #PioneeringResearch #EmpoweredScientist #BreakingBarriers #FutureLeader #InspiringChange #InnovativeResearcher #BlackInnovation #SciencePioneer #techinnovation #africanamerican #africa #black

Inventions are zero-to-one types of efforts. It is hard to invent on the one hand, it is quite natural on the other hand — once we come up with an exciting new idea, it will find its way to go on. (Of course we need to continue the effort and allow physics to determine its fate.) I still remember very clearly that during the summer of 2016, I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do in my career — and I was drawing blank… It took some exploring for me to come up with a few ideas that were not so exciting, and I didn’t give up… Through continued free-exploring, I came up with the initial idea of SWIFF in the summer of 2017, which was very exciting. Despite many criticisms and reality-checks along the way, I was intrigued by the idea and continued working on it until we published a paper in 2019 (SPE 196078). Things did not stop there — various new angles started to make sense, and the ideas quickly evolved into multiple new method inventions that have been really exciting... (www.swiffenergy.com) I attribute our inventions to truth-seeking and free-thinking (besides some knowledge in the area to start with). I also think with this type of approach, many people can invent. Coming across the US inventor 2nd annual conference coming up in September 2024 and looking up the keynote speaker Joe Kiani, I feel inspired to share my two cents on inventing.
Join us at the US Inventor 2nd Annual Conference: From Dreamers to Decision-Makers! We are excited to announce Joe Kiani, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Masimo, as our Keynote Speaker for the upcoming conference. Joe Kiani has fought tirelessly to empower true inventors and promote fair competition. His dedication to innovation and support for US Inventors has reshaped the landscape for small inventors, ensuring they get the recognition and protection they deserve. “Our patent system needs to change.

Right advice from right person at right time. Today's extrusion trials were a testament to perseverance! Initially, we faced difficulties achieving the desired expended products, but thankfully, Professor Dr. Job Ubbink stepped in with expert guidance. His timely suggestions led to a breakthrough, and we successfully obtained the required product with optimal expansion. I am grateful to Dr. Ubbink for his time and guidance. Thanks to my lab member Cecia Flores Sanchez for her support. In the video’s first few seconds shows what we were getting before and what we got after. #ResearchLife #MentorshipMatters #Teamwork #Innovation #Gratitude"

Photo by Ioann-Mark Kuznietsov on Unsplash Let’s say two inventors have the same idea at the same time. The only difference is their location: one is in Ohio, and the other is in Texas. Who will be more successful? If you look at patent numbers, the data favors Texas. According to WIPO, across a five-year period, just three states—California, New York, and Texas—accounted for 36.5 percent of all the nation’s patents. In innovation, location matters. That’s why our founders, Mike and Donna Rainone, picked Texas to build PCDworks. Besides great universities filled with inventive thinkers, Texas has a deeply ingrained innovative spirit. Read our latest blog to learn more about how geography influences mindset and why Texas is such a hotbed for innovation. https://lnkd.in/gUBX2_Kj Photo by Ioann-Mark Kuznietsov on Unsplash #innovation #innovators #industrialdesign #productdesign #productdevelopment #Texas
