I’m glad to share our work published in @Nature. We provide direct evidence of dendrite initiation within the interior of garnet solid electrolytes during long-term cycling, specifically at internal pores and grain boundary junctions. Full-text access: rdcu.be/frxF9

It’s been four years since my last MRS. Feeling great to talk to many colleagues and catch up with friends at #MRS2023. – at Boston, MA

I will present at #mrsfall2023 future faculty poster session on Wed. I aim to design reliable energy storage/conversion materials and structural nanocomposites by understanding their extreme mechanics from atomic to macroscale. Come and chat!

Glad to see our work is featured on the cover of Nature Energy @NatureEnergyJnl
This month’s cover goes to @geoffreenergy, @Neo_XinXu, @TengCui1 and team who use operando microprobe experiments to reveal that lithium dendrites, initiated via nanoscale mechanical defects, can be manipulated via globally applied stresses. go.nature.com/3HKKBzI

Our work on solid-state batteries is out in @NatureEnergyJnl. Through in-situ FIB/SEM setup coupled with stress generation capabilities, we revealed how mechanics regulates the Li dendrites during fast charging. #battery #EnergyStorage nature.com/articles/s41560-0…

Tobin Filleter & colleagues lead this study of mechanical reliability of 2D #TMDs in #MatterIssue39. First authors: @TengCui1 & Sankha Mukherjee @UofT @uoftengineering Check it out: bit.ly/3QO7VOn

I never feel so close to @elonmusk
Nice letter from Bill Nix, who would’ve been my prof at Stanford if I hadn’t put grad studies on (permanent) deferment

Proud to see our work appears in @Matter_CP. We reveal the mechanical reliability of 2D TMDs (e.g. MoS2 and WSe2) resembles soda-lime glass and common ceramics through >300 AFM experiments and >1200 MD simulations. @UofT @uoftengineering sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

A thread about using color as a design tool in science presentations. Color is a great tool to separate different categories of information, to highlight information, or to establish an emotional tone. 🧵1/20

We mourn the tragic loss of Prof. Reed, a pioneer in the use of machine learning for materials discovery. news.stanford.edu/report/202…

I really enjoy reading these featured news in ⁦@Nature⁩, very well-written and informative. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

A timely and great resource to me! I have been learning statistical mechanics from videos by Prof. Leonard Susskind. This is definitely a great add-on.
Replying to @zhigangsuo
The opening sentences of the book (docs.google.com/document/d/1…). Thermodynamics is often called the science of energy. This designation steals accomplishments from other sciences, and diminishes accomplishments of thermodynamics. Rather, thermodynamics is the science of entropy.

Excited to see our paper published in @NanoLetters today! 😃A great end-of-the-year gift! We studied the fatigue behavior of Al2O3-graphene composite nanolayers and highlighted the significant enhancement role of graphene only within ~3.3 nm. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Now, PhD in the frame, master out! Both @UofT @uoftengineering ! #Uoftgrad20 😃
