I am not on this platform much but enjoyed these notifications. Love @rescorp.org for its support of the teacher-scholar model and really this award is to all the students I have had the pleasure to work with over the years. They are amazing and make this work so much fun!

Learning from Metal Nanocrystal Heterogeneity: A Need for Information-Rich and High-Throughput Single-Nanocrystal Measurements

Metal nanocrystals (NCs) show utility in a variety of applications due to their unique structure-dependent properties. Isolating these structure–property relationships is crucial for NC design, but heterogeneities present in NC ensembles as well as limitations in NC characterization strategies complicate this goal. Herein, we describe the various types of intraparticle and interparticle heterogeneities common to NC ensembles and then provide a detailed description and comparison of single-particle techniques that can be used to characterize these different heterogeneities. Case studies then showcase the use of multimodal characterization approaches, where multiple, primarily single-NC techniques are used in tandem to provide new insights into metal NC structure–property relationships. We conclude with a critique of single-NC techniques that motivates the development of new high-throughput and high-resolution single-NC characterization approaches as well as computational tools, with a proposed workflow outlined to accelerate NC design and discovery.

Latest special issue at @ChemMater on Precision Patterning. This collection is led by an Editorial written by Associate Editor Prof. Han-Bo-Ram Lee. Check out the collection here: bit.ly/4coYGR1.

I am excited to share this collection at Chemistry of Materials which includes a fabulous editorial on The Future of Colloidal Semiconductor Nanocrystals by Raffaella Buonsanti and Brandi Cossairt @brandicossairt.bsky.social Read now 👉 go.acs.org/cmE

A common mistake: i.e. vs. e.g. www.grammarly.com/blog/acronym...

“i.e.” vs. “e.g.”—What’s the Difference?

I.e. stands for id est, or “that is,” and means “in other words”—use it to clarify the statement before it. E.g. stands for exempli gratia…

@saraskrabalak.bsky.social speaking on high entropy materials electrocatalysis at CACEE conference, TIFR Mumbai

Now at TIFR in Mumbai for #CACEE2024 and catching up with @ChemMater associate editor C.N. Tharamani in person.

Visiting IISER - Tirupati and their main auditorium has the periodic table on the outside just like @IUBChemistry... but this one has the elements color for their elemental state. So cool.

IIT - Madras has urban deer just like @IUBloomington ... but they also have blackbuck (a cool looking antelope)

Join me!

We're here, y'all.

Congratulations to Varsha Kumari, my PhD student (co-advised with @saraskrabalak.bsky.social ), who gave her first talk today at a national conference! #F24MRS

Hello #ChemSky! We're excited to be part of this community, and we look forward to connecting with you here. Excuse us while we take a moment to get situated before we share more.

Excited! Got the final pieces for my India trip in place. Molecular Materials & Functions at IIT-Madras Dec. 9-11, IISER-Tirupati and IIT - Tirupati Dec. 12-13, and Conference on Advances in Catalysis at TIRF Mumbai Dec. 16-20. Let me know if you will be there and local must do/haves.

As I answer reviewer comments, I remind myself: 1) editors choose reviewers from MY LIST. So some are people I know, like and respect. 2) most/many reviewers are trying to help me make sure my claims are supported. 3) regardless of 1&2, the paper will go back to reviewers, so don’t be a jerk.

Congrats to collaborator David Crandall @IULuddy @IUImpact on your Sonneborn Lectureship @IUBloomington
