This paper in Nature Materials (Nature Portfolio) describes a major effort by authors from 17 organizations to create a large family of novel van der Waals #2Dmaterials by combining high-throughput computational screening and proton exchange (selective etching -similar to the synthesis of #MXenes). A new approach to materials discovery is emerging, and this article is a good example of what new computational techniques now allow us to accomplish. Nothing like this was possible in the not-so-distant past. https://rdcu.be/dVMq6 Yonsei University A.J. Drexel Nanomaterials Institute

🌟 Proud Moment Alert! 🌟 I'm thrilled to share that our new research has just been published in Science Advances! This project, a key highlight of my PhD thesis, revolutionizes how we visualize charge movement on single SiO₂ nanoparticles at the femtosecond timescale. Leading this study with Wenbin Zhang has been an incredible journey, utilizing time-resolved reaction nanoscopy—an approach we developed—to unravel how surface charges redistribute influencing molecular bonds at the nanoscale. These insights not only enhance our understanding but also open up new possibilities for designing nanomaterials with tailored properties, from creating more efficient catalysts to developing new materials for energy storage. A big shoutout to Matthias Kling for his unwavering support and guidance throughout the project, to Philipp Rosenberger for introducing me to the tricks of the trade using reaction nanoscopy, and to everyone who made this milestone possible. I invite you to explore our findings and join us in redefining our understanding of charge-driven phenomena!

🚀 Breaking New Ground in Nanoscale Science! 🚀 I am excited to share our latest results from SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University capturing the spatiotemporal evolution of surface charges on silicon dioxide (SiO₂) nanoparticles with femtosecond precision! The related article led by my former graduate student Ritika Dagar and postdoc Wenbin Zhang was published today in Science Advances. For the first time, we used time-resolved reaction nanoscopy, developed in our group, to see how surface charges redistribute and affect molecular bonds. The study suggests a need to rethink nanoscale surface charge processes, influencing everything from catalyst design to photocatalytic systems. The findings can help to design new nanomaterials with tailored properties, impacting energy storage, sensing, and biomedicine. Join us in celebrating this milestone that promises to redefine our grasp of charge-driven phenomena!

Powering Precision at the Attosecond Frontier – Inspired by Dr. Ferenc Krausz’s DESY Day lecture on capturing sub-atomic electron dynamics, Class 5 Photonics is proud to support the next wave of breakthroughs in attosecond science. As Krausz’s vision of attosecond photography opens new doors in science and medicine, our high-power #femtosecond lasers provide the precision and robustness necessary for advanced applications like high-harmonic generation, soft-X-ray spectroscopy, and attomicroscopy The Nobel Prize #Class5Lasers #AttosecondScience #HighHarmonicGeneration #Attomicroscopy

🌍 Revolutionizing the future with basic research. In 2008, AFOSR began funding Nobel Laureate Professor Konstantin Novoselov’s research into graphene—a material so revolutionary it earned him The Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010. Dubbed the "wonder material," graphene is thinner than paper yet stronger than steel, with groundbreaking applications in energy, medicine, and electronics. This achievement highlights AFOSR’s commitment to supporting the world’s greatest minds and the potential of basic research to transform industries. ✨ Why does this matter to you? As we push the boundaries of science, we enable innovation that reshapes our world.

Femtosecond precision - with fundamental information about surface change.

💫 13th International Symposium On Crystallization in Glasses and Liquids 💫 I had the privilege of presenting my research on glass crystallization mechanisms at this prestigious event. My oral presentation focused on the use of In Situ Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) under controlled temperature conditions to observe the real-time structural evolution of glasses at the nanoscale at high temperatures. A study that helps to gain deeper insights into the mechanisms that drive crystallization in glasses and glass-ceramics, enabling innovations in the design and performance of such systems. It was a great experience to exchange ideas with fellow researchers and learn about the latest advances in the field. #MaterialsScience #GlassCeramics #Crystallization #InsituTEM #Research
