Thank you all the co-authors for an amazing collaboration through the NSF CCI MSTAR center.

Like the Nobel-winning 2D material graphene, MXenes could revolutionize electronics and energy. In @ScienceMagazine, @a_vojvodic of @CBE_Penn and Zahra Fakhraai of @PennChemistry show how adding multiple metals lets scientists tune MXenes’ properties. 📷: From left: Zahra Fakhraai, Hui Fang, Manushree Tanwar, Givi Kadagishvili, Sanguk Han and Aleksandra Vojvodic bit.ly/46t84li

Last night was the building dedication for our new home at @Penn! Thank you to Roy and Diana Vagelos, the entire Vagelos family and all the building donors for your commitment to supporting energy research! @PennSAS @PennEngineers #energyatpenn

very fortunate that @NSF gives us an opportunity to design, fabricate and test new types of artificial reefs that can harvest ocean energy, together Masoud Akbarzadeh @WeitzmanSchool and Reza Alam UC Berkeley Mechanical Engineering

CBE@Penn has two open faculty searches, across multiple areas and ranks. Come and be a part of the great things happening here in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering! @CBE_Penn @PennEngineers

We are go! Thomas Olsen and @nicola_marzari @nccr_marvel @EPFL_en kicking off the #CAMD2024 summer school hosted by DTU Physics @DTUtweet with the opening lecture on DFT. Exciting week ahead for the many students and postdocs #TeamCAPeX

Congrats @AbhinavSRaman1! So well-deserved! Can’t wait to see what will come next!

👏 @jwilceclab Looking forward to your return to @CBE_Penn and @KleinmanEnergy after your pivotal service @FECMgov! @PennEngineers

Congratulations to @ShuYangPenn - Joseph Bordogna Professor of Engineering and Applied Science in @CBE_Penn and chair of @MSEatPenn - on her election as 2024 American Association for the Advancement of Science (@AAAS) Fellow. Read more: bit.ly/49GFBqx

We are excited that the Vagelos Institute for Energy Science and Technology will bring @Penn faculty, students and researchers together to contribute to the energy future the world needs! #energyatpenn

We are looking forward to having joining our fantastic @CBE_Penn @PennEngineers faculty Sherry!

Honored to be selected for @TIME 100 Climate list which represents a broad and diverse group, representative of the collective solutions we’ll need to reach our climate goals!

Congratulations to Jen Wilcox @jwilceclab on being selected as one of Time’s “100 Most Influential Climate Leaders in Business 2023”! What a well deserved honor and a great day for carbon management. @KleinmanEnergy @CBE_Penn @Penn time.com/collection/tim…

The United States officially has its first commercial Direct Air Capture facility! Today we welcomed U.S. Secretary of @ENERGY, Jennifer M Granholm, and California Lieutenant Governor, Eleni Kounalakis, to unveil a facility in our home state of California where we'll capture and lock away CO2 from the atmosphere. Powered by 100% renewable energy supplied by PG&E and Ava Community Energy, constructed with union labor, backed by catalytic buyers of best-in-class carbon removal, and built in partnership with the City and community of Tracy, this first facility is our blueprint for responsible removal at billion-ton scale and beyond. With a capture capacity of up to 1,000 tons per year, the CO2 captured at this facility will go for storage in concrete with our partner @CarbonCure so that it cannot continue heating the planet. This facility is more than a labor of love from the engineers, researchers, chemists, construction workers, scientists, managers, assistants, policy wonks, and architects who made it possible –– it is a promise of what is possible when committed people come together to get things done, and a promise that we will keep building today, tomorrow, and every day after until we’ve realized our vision of a safer and more stable climate. You can read more about the technology, partnerships, and people behind this facility here: heirloomcarbon.com/news/heirloom-…

Heirloom Carbon Technologies is an example of how America can fight and win against the climate crisis. Seeing this project take form is an exciting moment for our country. Efforts to advance the commercialization of carbon removal push us closer to our climate goals.

@MSEatPenn Faculty awarded a grant to join $72M @NSF initiative, advancing materials for societal challenges and workforce development. Profs Feng & Agarwal focus on "Deep learning guided twistronics for self-assembled quantum optoelectronics". Learn More: mse.seas.upenn.edu

Slowly recovering from the #AIChE2023 trip! Took a detour to give a talk at UCF invited by @FudongLiu1. It was great to see many friends, collaborators and colleagues. Had a reunion with Aleks @a_vojvodic after 4 years! Now back to work...

@MichaelEMann @nytimes @PennCSSM That technology emerged from our @KleinmanEnergy lab at @Penn. Happy to meet with you and Joe to discuss everything @Penn_Today got wrong in today’s piece.

Fantastic! @PennEngineers @CBE_Penn @PennAIChE

I'm on the faculty job market! My group will seek to understand dynamics and rare events that control chemical transformations at interfaces and in solutions using a combination of computational tools. Check abhinavsraman.com/aiche-2023 for my #AIChE schedule & email me for more info.
