We are very excited to share our newest publication on nanoscale friction of calcite single crystals, the effects of roughness in dry and aqueous environment, and the implications for understanding mechanisms dictating seismicity. Read more here: pnas.org/eprint/PFI2V8SSPGYA…
Congratulations Qianlu, and to the whole team! And thanks to the great collaboration with James Batteas and Nate Hawthorne! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Hua Wang, assistant professor, has co-authored a study in @NatureComms on treating poorly immunogenic tumors. The proposed system also prevents tumor recurrence after surgical resection, resulting in 100% metastasis-free survival upon re-challenge. bit.ly/47smfor

🏅 MatSE Department Head Nancy Sottos has been awarded the 2023 Nadai Medal from the American Society for Mechanical Engineers (ASME) for “pioneering contributions to the development of self-healing polymers and composites.” bit.ly/4038KZN
Outstanding opportunity! Don’t miss it!
Anyone interested in a postdoc with Simon Rogers and me at UIUC on memory formation in colloidal suspensions? This collaboration will include simulations and experiments. The Beckman Postdoc Fellowship might be a great opportunity!

We are constantly exposed to phthalates in our environment through plastic products. In a new study, researchers used mice to understand how di-isononyl phthalate affects pregnancy.

New experiments provide a further experimental verification of the shear elasticity at ~Hz frequencies due to confinement in liquid films, an effect we mathematically predicted in 2020: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.20…
for a gentle intro to the theory see Ch. 9 in link.springer.com/book/10.10…
Glad to share our newest work on thin film nanorheology and nanotribology of ionic liquids... pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs… Congratulations to Xuhui and Mengwei!
Great collaboration with SungWoo Nam (UC Irvine) on dynamically tuning friction at the graphene interface using the field effect. Well done Gus, Jin Myung and all co-authors!

Happy to share our new PNAS paper on selective labeling and targeting of cancer stem-like cells (CSCs), led by my excellent graduate student Yang Bo. We developed an ALDH1A1-activatable azido-sugar that can preferentially label ALDH1A1-overexpressing CSCs

Just like colloids, the ACS Division of Colloid and Surface Chemistry never settle, we are always on the search for true #science. See how colloids have stimulated the careers of these chemists. #colloidchemistry ow.ly/GS0c30mVy8d

NSF is backing a chemical research center @TAMU where scientists will explore the atomic-level workings inside the crushing and grinding of mechanical chemistry, with the potential to scale up their advances to make chemical manufacturing more sustainable and cost-effective bit.ly/3OulfbH
