He is renowned for his work in defining, enabling, and popularizing a chemical approach to nanomaterials for innovative nanotechnology in advanced materials and biomedical science.
Playing ball with the Haber–Bosch process
Can the Haber–Bosch process be green?
Gaming online teaching
AI gaming technology will appear in the classroom in the near future, perhaps making it more accessible and lowering the cost of education for so many that need it.
Green marine — New wind-powered vessel could reduce emissions by 90%
Oceanbird, a newly designed transatlantic car carrier, is powered by wind and could significantly reduce the carbon footprint of marine transportation.
The art of materials science and teaching online
The global COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way in which we teach, but it doesn’t have to be all bad.
Climate 21: Welcome back to a future world of green energy
The Climate 21 project lays out a program for a multilateral, comprehensive, speedy, and effective change to a green energy infrastructure, one that will help mitigate the negative effects of a changing climate.
Chimie douce: Green hydrogen
A low temperature water-splitting protocol uses microwave power in lieu of concentrated solar energy.
Could a human settlement on Mars be sustained with carbon dioxide?
The chemistry of carbon dioxide may not save the human race on Earth, but could enable a new beginning for life on the red planet.
What would a room temperature superconductor mean for the energy sector?
While superconductors are not considered an energy material, the energy savings arising from resistance-free transmission and distribution of electricity are potentially massive when considered on a global scale.
Imagining how “synthetic topology” could reform carbon dioxide catalysis
Solid-state physicists and materials chemists are now in excellent “shape” to expand and accelerate their explorations of the science of topological materials for a wide range of possible applications.
