Our Winter 2026 Seminar Series starts January 13, featuring 9 early career researchers from across the Foundry. Tuesdays at 11 AM PT, in person or on zoom. Get the full schedule and Zoom links: bit.ly/3QcGVHW #Seminars #EarlyCareer

Scientists combined deep learning tools with electron microscopy to analyze nearly half a million individual nanocrystals, revealing how these tiny particles change shape as they grow. Read more: bit.ly/nano-shape

Bacteria have microscopic “soccer balls” made of proteins – and scientists just figured out how to build and load these tiny shells on command. Check out the full story at bit.ly/BMCnano!

The Molecular Foundry celebrated #NationalNanoDay last week by launching the voting round for our annual NanoArt contest! Help us select the winners by voting here: bit.ly/3W49hJY. Voting ends this Friday, 10/17!

Join us for our seminar today at 11am PT to hear Samuel Blau from Berkeley Lab talk about using AI models in computational chemistry. Get the details here: bit.ly/4nqeqIs

Mark your calendar! Next Tuesday 9/16 at 11, our Fall seminar series kicks off with a talk by Sihong Wang from @uchicagopme.bsky.social He will tell us about his work on biomimetic polymer electronics that can interface with biology. Get the details here: bit.ly/4nrXZuz

And the final item for our morning #MFAUM25 session, the outstanding staff service award, which this year goes to Nanofab staff member Ari Gashi!

Now presenting this year’s #MFAUM25 poster winners: Bernard Field, Hudson Shih, and Casey Tran! Congratulations!

Finally, the winner of best student paper award, Eliza Neidhart, sharing work done with the Foundry’s @GroupHelms on modifying the polymers used in plastic bags to make them easier to recycle

Next, the winner of best postdoc paper award at #MFAUM25, Dr Min Gee Cho, is telling us how she is working to speed up characterization of materials on TEMs with statistical analysis. #automation

We’re back from the morning break at #MFAUM25 and launching into our next set of user talks, starting with Kyleigh Range, research assistant at @michiganstateu, who’s telling us about her work on synthetic bacterial microcompartments (BMCs)
