Carving Out Your Own Path in Materials Research with Jennifer Gerbi

Jennifer Gerbi, Keynote Speaker at the 2024 MRS Spring Women's Breakfast, sits down with MRS TV to look back on the challenges she overcame in her career and offer advice to women entering the field.

MRS & AMRS in Collaboration

Collaboration is an invaluable way to generate new ideas, create strong relationships, and gain new perspectives into addressing the world's most pressing challenges. In this segment, we talk with Sossina Haile from Northwestern University and Matt Hauwiller from Seagate Technology on how MRS and AMRS foster global collaboration efforts through initiatives such as Joint US-Africa Materials Institute (JUAMI).

MXene in the Environment and for the Environment | Yury Gogotsi

In this interview, we talk with Yury Gogotsi from Drexel University about his research into extending the viability of MXenes and why the lifespan of materials matters.

Harnessing Gradients for Self-Assembly of Peptide-Based Nanocapsules: A Pathway to Advanced Drug Delivery Systems

Written by Mruganka Parasnis

Xuliang Qian of Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, reported on the utilization of insect cuticle peptides for forming nanocapsules. Qian said that a one-step process was involved as a solvent exchange process. In this technique, the water and acetone were mixed together to form as a gradient interface for the localization and self-assembly of peptides to the nanocapsules. The self-assembly occurs due to intrinsic affinity and conformation of peptides to self-assemble at a particular concentration. This paves the way for the next-generation drug delivery of peptide nanocapsules.

Symposium X Spotlight: Giulia Grancini

 

MRS TV heads back to Symposium X to see Giulia Grancini's lecture about hybrid perovskite solar cells and their role in creating a sustainable future.

Inorganic Nanotubes from "Misfit" Layered Compounds with 2023 Von Hippel winner, Reshef Tenne

 

The 2023 MRS Von Hippel Award, the society’s highest honor, is awarded to Reshef Tenne, Weizmann Institute of Science, for spearheading modern research on nano-2D materials through the discovery of nanotube- and fullerene-like inorganic layered compounds.

MRS TV talks to Dr. Tenne  about his discoveries in nanoparticles.
