Visualizing the nano-world is a key component in many modern academic institutions, but building out a core facility is crucial to advance science. Anastas Popratiloff saw an opportunity to bring Thermo Fisher Scientific’s #ElectronMicroscopy technologies to GW Nanofabrication and Imaging Center, and it has empowered users with cutting-edge, novel research techniques.

At a symposium celebrating the 20-year anniversary of the law that authorized the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI), Maxx Arguilla (UC Irvine), Jennifer Dionne (Stanford University), and Thomas Epps, III (University of Delaware) discussed the future of #nanotechnology. Ali Beskok (Southern Methodist University) moderated the panel discussion. Here are a few quotes from the discussion:   “Infrastructure is really important, and this is where NNI’s shared facilities come into play,” Dionne said. “As a [business] founder, we have made tremendous use of some the DOE user facilities for nanofabrication and for nanocharacterization in a way that would be cost-prohibitive if we didn’t have these user facilities, thanks to the NNI funding. And I hope that that sort of shared infrastructure can continue to grow, for example with the CHIPS and Science Act or the NQI [(National Quantum Initiative)], because I think that’s really pivotal.”   “I think it’s important to lower the barrier for students, so they are able to use sophisticated instruments,” Arguilla said. “Say, for example, chemists who are used to beakers, glassware and so on, and who don't know how to operate a scanning tunneling microscope from the get-go. There are ways to develop instrumentation that are plug-and-play and easy for students to get in and get their first measurements and eliminate that barrier to training.” “As people start working more and more with nanomaterials, there's a need to actually develop [software] routines that can go seek out that data, determine basically the validity of that data, and context,” Epps said. “We are working with some graduate students on how to develop routines that can scour the literature and bring back the outcomes of various studies. And that becomes quite important.” #nanotechnology #NNI20 https://lnkd.in/g5-MiwmB

This book will be highly attractive for the broad audience of students and researchers interested in the ever-developing area of the graphene quantum dots, providing them with the useful knowledge of various characteristics of GQDs and peculiarities of their synthesis and characterization. Moreover, it will provide readers with a review of the history of GQD investigations, the current state of the art of their research and different applications, and perspectives in this field of science and technology. https://lnkd.in/eRexJhg2 #newbook #technology #science #nanotechnology

Alhamdulillah! (All praise be to God) Second paper from my PhD work at the University of Iowa is published now in #ACS_Applied_Electronic_Materials. I am grateful to my supervisor Dr. Caterina Lamuta and my colleague Zhaolin Gao for this work. In this work we demonstrated the most essential synaptic properties with geopolymer-based artificial synapses. These included Synaptic Plasticity, Potentiation-Depression, Short-term and Long-term memory, Spike-timing dependent plasticity, Spike-rate dependent plasticity, History dependent plasticity, etc. This article is open access and can be found here: https://lnkd.in/gCFhcsRX

Dr. Ranu Jung, distinguished professor of biomedical engineering and I³R founding executive director, served on the panel, "Policy, Governance, and Ethical Considerations," co-hosted by the National Academy of Engineering and Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering's Forum on AI Engineered Systems. Her insights are important to ensure that these technological advancements are developed and deployed responsibly. In Dr. Jung's experience as a pioneer in engineering and neuroscience, innovators can implement AI systems in more informed ways when they prioritize safety, fairness, and ethical standards. As a result, we can benefit society with much more efficiency and thoughtfulness. Dr. Jung is pictured here with organizers and panelists from various institutions and organizations (from left to right): Luis Kun, Ph.D. (National Defense University), Guru Madhavan, Ph.D. (National Academy of Engineering), Daniel Castro, M.S. (Information Technology and Innovation Foundation), Sudip Parikh, Ph.D. (American Association for the Advancement of Science), Lisa Cooper, M.D., MPH (The Johns Hopkins University), and Munmun de Choudhury, Ph.D. (Georgia Institute of Technology). #SolvingWickedProblems #AISystems #Engineering #UArk

I am delighted to receive an Honorable Award from Transformative Quantum Technologies (TQT). I want to thank Shayan Ghasemi (my team member) for helping me design and develop our idea. TQT awarded research teams and our design ideas for the Quantum for Environment (Q4Environment) Design Challenge, whose green-tech solutions address global environmental issues. TQT and the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) aim to engineer quantum processes to advance new solutions to important societal problems. Quantum theory is the ultimate law of nature. At its most fundamental level, nature is governed by quantum physics. Therefore, we look to quantum solutions when we need efficiency, accuracy, and sensitivity beyond what the classical world allows.
