Just sharing with you friends a very interesting research article led by my friend and co-worker, Professor Yanwen Zhang, on the role of electronic energy loss in HEAs. We also do very nice comparison with ceramics! Online now at Current Opinion in Solid State and Materials Science, Elsevier! https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1359028622000213
Just sharing a very nice article from MIT Sloan management review on toxic culture and its effects in workplace environments... I think it is time for us to talk about toxic culture in science and academia as well! https://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/why-every-leader-needs-to-worry-about-toxic-culture/ Twenty percent of employees have left a job because of its culture.iiReplacing an employee can cost … Continue reading It is time to talk about toxic culture in academia and scientific research as well!
Sharing my new seminar slides with the community on the challenges to design and evaluate new materials for extraterrestrial applications! This research has been only possible via an international collaboration with the brilliant metallurgy minds present at the Montanuniversität Leoben! Super interesting new works coming very very soon! Available at the ResearchGate! (LA-UR-22-23107) https://www.researchgate.net/publication/359771021_The_solar_system_as_a_new_frontier_for_materials_at_extremes
I just wanna share with you guys a recent publication from friends, arising as another international collaboration, where the sustainability of aluminum alloys and plans for the future in the field have been nicely outlined! Great work coordinated by Professors Dierk Raabe and Stefan Pogatscher! https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0079642522000287
