Dr. Ismail El Baggari Cryogenic STEM Visualization of Strongly Correlated Phases Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) is highly sensitive to lattice degrees of freedom and enables tracking of lattice displacements with sub- Angstrom resolution and picometer precision. This has ushered novel visualizations and discoveries of functional atomic displacements in ferroelectric materials, magnetoelectric oxides, and 2D materials. Due to stringent stability requirements, the overwhelming ...

Dr James Brown , University of Limerick The title of this webinar is: \"Restraining KATs: new therapeutics and breast cancer biomarkers\". Abstract  \"The focus of my talk, and my Oncobiology and Molecular Therapeutics Group is exploring the role of lysine acetylation in regulating genome stability, and how this can be controlled by our new targeted inhibitors as the potential next generation of therapeutics. Our fundamental research explores new roles for the lysine acetyltransfera...

The title of this webinar is: \"Engineering the crystallinity of MoS2 for potassium-ion batteries\" ABSTRACT Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are being heavily studied in battery research due to their structural uniqueness and interesting electrochemical mechanisms. They undergo a two-step electrochemical process that includes an intercalation reaction and a subsequent conversion reaction, where the former uses van der Waals gaps to accommodate ions and the latter causes...
