With a great pleasure and happiness, I would like to congratulate Professor Stefan Pogatscher for achieving great success in its first place in the 2022 Houskapreiss All Starts! Professor Pogatscher led a team of rising stars (Dr. Stemper and Dr. Schmid) into the development of a new class of aluminium alloys with potential to revolutionize … Continue reading Houskapreis 2022 All Starts: First place to Professor Pogatscher!
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
The sun is in a new solar cycle, with space weather experts expecting geomagnetic storms to worsen and increase the risk to valuable satellites. — Read on http://www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/02/09/why-solar-geomagnetic-storms-destroy-satellites-like-spacex-starlink.html
The Parker Solar Probe just encountered an intense energetic particle radiation stream on its way to the Sun. A beautiful video from NASA! Particle irradiation emitted by the Sun's and its effects on functional metallic alloys it is one of our most important research fields nowadays. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQXNqhQzBLM
Dear Friends! We would like to wish you an excellent 2022 start with great accomplishments in life and research! This year starts a great promise with the commission of the James Webb space telescope, which holds the future of astronomy and astrophysics! With the beginning of the new year, we will resume the Nuclear Materials … Continue reading Nuclear Materials Highlights – Issue #2
