Inspired by the human body's circulatory system, @UWMechEngr’s @LabPikul created a liquid energy storage and delivery system that could power future robots and make chemical manufacturing more sustainable.

Introducing tactile skin sim-to-real for dexterous in-hand translation!
We propose a simulation model for ReSkin, a magnetic tactile sensing skin. It can simulate ternary shear and binary normal forces.

Three new electrochemistry-focused research labs are up and running in @UWMechEngr. @LabPikul, @Kazyak_Lab and @LucaMastro89 are working together to develop new solutions in batteries, fuel cells, soft robotics and self-healing metals.

A team led by @UWMechEngr’s @LabPikul has developed a new design for haptic systems that could deliver more realistic sensory experiences in virtual reality and boost exoskeletons, prosthetics, finger-gripping systems, and shape-shifting robots.

If anyone (primarily, electrochemists, battery engineers, materials scientists, electrolyte chemists, organic chemists, but also any other related field) wants to do a Postdoc in a fun, new lab with an exciting industry-funded project on Li metal batteries..DM me ASAP #aiche23

John Goodenough, the most important battery inventor of the modern era, has died at 100. In 2019, Goodenough won the Nobel in chemistry for his invention of the lithium cobalt oxide cathode, the central advance igniting the portable electronic and EV revolutions 1/7.

How big are some US universities? Chart shows undergrads (light blue), grad students (blue), faculty (green), admin & staff (orange). Dashed orange is admin & staff minus postdocs & minus Lincoln Labs (LL at MIT) and SLAC (at Stanford). First 3 are private, other 3 are public.

16/n: In sum, our study is #ExxonKnew2point0. It puts a number on, and paints a picture of, what #ExxonKnew, which is that burning fossil fuels would heat the planet by 0.20° ± 0.04°C per decade.
A picture tells a thousand words, and this one sums up how Exxon knew and misled.

Buenos Aires celebration packed with ~5m people. The Argentina team bus couldn’t drive through, so they had to call in helicopters 🤯

I never thought that the day would arrive that this would happen.
Twitter has just suspended the journal Scientific Reports for impersonating the journal Nature.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The account depicted in the screenshot is not the account for the Nature Portfolio journal "Scientific Reports." The correct handle is @SciReports.

Super excited to share that my @Caltech work on the 3D printing of metals using hydrogels is finally out in @Nature! Using a process called hydrogel infusion, we show a new way of 3D printing, where you pick the material AFTER you print the structure (1/9)
