Read MoreScaling Up Nano for Sustainable Manufacturing by Prof. Ting Xu
A research team led by Prof. Ting Xu has developed a high-performance coating material that self-assembles from 2D nanosheets and could significantly extend the shelf life of electronics, energy storage devices, health & safety products, and more. The nanomaterial breakthrough is also recyclable and could enable a sustainable manufacturing approach that keeps single-use packaging and…

Read MoreBerkeley MSE student Bowen Deng’s (from Professor Ceder’s group) paper just made the cover of Nature Machine Intelligence!
In this paper he and the co-authors develop CHargeNet, which is a universal machine-learned potential to model materials much faster than with typical first-principles methods. The need to quickly discover new materials and to understand their underlying physics in the presence of complex electron interactions calls for advanced simulation tools. Deng et al. propose…
