Back in November, Google announced 2.2 milllion new materials. Today, a paper in Chemistry of Materials from Ram Seshadri and Tony Cheetham dismantles that claim pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Announcing a very special workshop this summer: The Future of Materials Discovery - UCL, London 25-26 June AI is going to change science in a big way. We have an unbelievable line-up of speakers to discuss what the future looks like Please RT! sites.google.com/view/future-of…

Opening the door to give someone their first research opportunity is one of the best parts of this job. Anyone who feels differently shouldn't be here.

❌Human evolution shows that Africa holds most of our genetic diversity, yet it's underrepresented in clinical trials. ❌This oversight in precision medicine could worsen health disparities. ✅Yaw Bediako , from Yemaachi Biotech shows it is time for change #Tucsonsymposium24

Congratulations Philip Kim of Harvard University, newly inducted NAS international member! #NAS161 #NASmember #physics

Very proud of this one, Leonardo's first in the group, in which he deduces the microscopic origin of the observations from the Kwabena Bediako group that electron transfer is enhanced at the magic angle of twisted bilayer graphene arxiv.org/abs/2405.00783 College of Chemistry Kavli Energy NanoScience Institute (ENSI)

Congratulations to Drs. Zhizhi Kong, Kandi (Ted) Zhang, Madeline Van Winkle, and Samra Husremović who received their PhDs this week! Very proud and excited to see all you will do in the years to come.

#Africa's biotechnology sector holds immense potential, but we must strengthen it to prevent brain drain and foster innovation. @Yawbediako shares his thoughts on the benefits of investing in Africa’s scientists and R&D infrastructure 🔗 bit.ly/3QWmfHh

Summer is here! Join us remotely for our 2024 PARADIM Summer School on Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy! Schedule and Webinar details: paradim.org/2024_EM_SS_app… Berit Goodge David A Muller Robert Hovden Cornell University U.S. National Science Foundation

This week Yemaachi Biotech began an exciting project to perform long read whole genome sequencing of cancer patients in Ghana. This project is the first of its kind in Africa and we are excited to be partnering with Oxford Nanopore Stay tuned for more exciting details soon!

Excellent article on Yaw Bediako ! Beautifully captures his vision and innovation of life science research in Africa.

Check out Michelle's paper! She studies LiNaFeS2 in both Li and Na half cells to compare anion redox mechanisms when Li vs Na is the majority charge carrier in the electrolyte. The charge compensation is the same, but the structural implications are not. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Excited to share Mulan's excellent perspective on chemical exfoliation. We highlight how non van der Waals materials may be better for exfoliation than you think. Check it out here: pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

Great job Heui Beom Lee, Nick, and the R. David Britt and MTG crews! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10… Happy holidays

Wondered what all the fuss is about so-called “altermagnets,” and what that term even means? If so, this Perspective might be of interest to you.

Our newest Princeton Chemistry faculty member @Lilia_Xie launched her lab’s website this week. Congrats Lilia - it looks great. Check it out here: liliaxie.chemistry.princeton.edu

Our work is beginning to get noticed. Very grateful to Myra Anubi and the People Fixing the World Team BBC World Service for the opportunity to tell the Yemaachi Biotech story. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3…
