Energy storage: The future enabled by nanomaterials

Enjoy reading our review article about nanomaterials for energy storage – just published in Science magazine (Nov. 22 issue).  In fact, it’s a future-oriented perspective rather than a conventional literature review. View the Open Access article here.

Congratulations to Nanomaterials Alumni

Congratulations to our alum, Prof. Majid Beidaghi, on receiving the NSF CAREER award. He will be working on understanding the fundamentals of Al ions intercalation into MXenes.
We would also like to congratulate Prof. Michael Naguib on being named the Ken & Ruth Early Career Professor at Tulane (an early career endowment professorship at Tulane).
Congratulations to our alumni on their great successes!
