This Memorial Weekend, we'd like to honor and remember all the brave souls who have served. Thank you! #Memorial_Day

Happy #July4th!

Assist Prof Penghui Cao & student Bin Xing, have developed a groundbreaking Neural Network Kinetics (#NNK) method to model and predict #atomic diffusion in compositionally complex materials. Their work was was published in "Nature Communications" nature.com/articles/s4146…

Javier D Sanchez-Yamagishi developed an innovative approach to thin crystal synthesis by growing bismuth within a nanoscale mold composed of van der Waals (vdW) materials published in Nature. w/ Xiaoqing Pan, Penghui Cao, Ruqian Wu, & Luis A. Jauregui. nature.com/articles/s4156…

Prof Joe Patterson (UC Irvine Chemistry) & student Wyeth Gibson, have pioneered the observation of molecular active #materials using liquid electron #Microscopy. It was published in ACS Nano. collaborators Zhibin Guan, Allon Hochbaum, UMass Boston. pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

This is very impressive. We're so grateful to be part of UC Irvine.

Pleased to share that Assistant Prof. Seunghyun Sim received the 2024-2025 Early-Career Faculty Award for Research from UC Irvine's academic senate. She's developing living biomaterials - integrating synthetic #Biology w/ synthetic soft materials (molecular #Engineering).

Research by CCAM researcher, Prof. Maxx Arguilla and the rest of his research team was recently published in Nature Materials. nature.com/articles/s4156…

Research led by Maxx Arguilla in collaboration Elizabeth Lee discovered an atomically precise one-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) crystal that exhibits a distinctive helical motif. Their work was published in Journal of American Chemical Society. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Multi-Objective Design of DNA Nanoclusters findings published. #DNA -stabilized silver nanoclusters (AgN-DNAs) exhibit sequence-dependent compositions & fluorescence colors. High-throughput experiments w/supervised #machine_learning learning .. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

PhD student and CCAM researcher, Héctor Pascual Herrero, received an ACCESS Explore Grant (NNT240008), securing an allocation of 400,000 ACCESS units to utilize supercomputing resources, including Stampede3. We are so proud of Héctor's impressive achievement!
