In 1896, a Russian chemist by the name of Dmitri Mendeleev started the development of the periodic table, arranging chemical elements by atomic mass. Over the course of years gone by, new elements were discovered giving chemists a new scope of elements to work with. ​🧪

We will be running a workshop on 10th of Feb about material science data sharing and management. One of the main speakers Pedro Mendes, Assistant Professor at Instituto Superior Técnico. Workshops are fully booked, you can sign up on materialpioneers.com to be notified of upcoming workshops.

Over the years Women have proven that they can succeed in anything and everything by just being given the chance. and on this special day we celebrate all the vitals roles played by women and girls in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).👩‍🎓👩‍🔬👩‍💻 #WomenInScience

📈The Data Sharing and Management Workshop was a success! Do you want to catch up?💡 Here you can find part of the session and additional material about FAIR data management. bit.ly/3BsJKij 4TU.ResearchData TU Delft Library #FAIRdata #openscience #OpenData

⚙️Today's Workshop is Introduction to Machine Learning for Material Scientists💡 Today we launch the hands-on workshop as an introduction to machine learning concepts – no coding experience required! TU Delft Library 4TU.ResearchData #OpenScience #machinelearning #ML

How can you teach a computer what your eyebrows look like? And why so many people are trying to make machines learn? Our ML Workshop is running, and you will find the recording on materialponeers.com

💎Why are diamonds are the most famous Earth gem? Over the past years, a few companies started to change the diamond game by producing Lab Grown diamonds. John Ciraldo, CTO @WDLGDiamonds tells us how their diamonds are changing the luxury industry. bit.ly/3C4mFTl

How much gold is in the Ocean? The ocean contains 20 million pounds of #gold.​ Finding gold in ocean waters would be like looking for sugar grains in unstirred coffee. Gold ores can be found on the seafloor, but these deposits are encased in layers of rock. #Science #Facts

Today we are printing gold nanoparticles 🚀 Materials show different properties when they are at the nanoscale.​ They enter a different dimension, and they acquire some superpowers: some materials melt faster, some change color, or become hazardous.​ #materialsscience

Happening tomorrow: Cansunur Demirci is explaining us how is working in a #startup company after PhD. Register now the second episode of the YEuCat #round #tables! Wednesday, May 4th at 17.30 CEST. Register now at: lnkd.in/eQysJzvc #catalysis #getactive

✅Protecting personal data during research is a critical task of researchers & research support professionals. 🔺Join instructors @M_Domingus & Miriam Beusink for AVG 4 Data Support course (in 🇳🇱) to get up to speed on key concepts & steps you can take👉bit.ly/3vFIVRT

Do you know about the Mpemba effect? Scientists believe this is because the velocity of water particles, while hot, has a unique disposition that allows them to freeze faster. This finding might also apply to everyday things, like cooling down electronic devices. #Materials

Scientists who gave the world its first look at a black hole released their latest image. About 27 light-years from Earth, Sagittarius A* has a mass 4 million times that of our sun. This is only the second time that visual evidence of such an object has been captured. #BlackHole

What can you do with a chip in your contact lens?​ The Dutch start-up Vsparticle printed a circuit on a contact lens.​ Future scenarios involve incorporating electronics and LEDs on contact lenses, or even involve recording video or taking photos using voluntary blinks. #material

E-waste #recycling must be increased urgently, scientists say, since mining precious #metals from the Earth to make new gadgets is not sustainable.​ According to one study, the world's mountain of discarded #electronics was estimated to weigh 57 million tonnes in 2021 alone.

The ocean plays a critical role in removing carbon from the atmosphere and providing oxygen. On World Ocean Day, people everywhere can celebrate and take action for our shared blue planet, with one ocean and one climate, which connects us all #WorldOceansDay2022

Why Silicon Valley? Gallium arsenide is an excellent replacement for silicon, which has long been the primary ingredient in the manufacture of electronic devices, hence the nickname 'Silicon Valley' for the international hub of technological innovation in California. #material
