A research team led by Piran Kidambi, assistant professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at Vanderbilt University has made a breakthrough advance for clean energy. Their research was recently published in Nano Letters (ACS Publications). Read more: ow.ly/fa2150VK2NX
AI just solved a century-old puzzle in materials science: the atomic structure of crystals Columbia Engineering scientists created a machine learning algorithm that can observe the pattern produced by nanocrystals to infer the material’s atomic structure engineering.columbia.edu/about/news/ai-… #ColumbiaAI
.Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics, Penn Engineers, @Carpick, and Ottman Tertuliano discovered that stacked graphene can fold itself into 3D shapes when punctured. The auto-kirigami effect could lead to new energy harvesters, sensors and microrobots, without chemicals or etching. bit.ly/43jsHPe
