Congrats to the Woehl and Asa-Awuku labs on their joint publication in Environmental Science & Technology! We used in situ TEM to reveal surprising nanoscale dissolution and droplet growth dynamics during water vapor uptake on NaCl nanocubes. @EnvSciTechtinyurl.com/2kcjnfue
Our new collaborative paper with the Hutzler lab at HI-ERN has been published in Small Structures! We utilized liquid phase TEM and reaction network modeling to establish molecular scale formation mechanisms of silver nanoparticles. tinyurl.com/yzksp8en
Congrats to Bals et al. on their work imaging organic ligands on nanoparticles in liquid with electron microscopy! Take a look at the News and Views article co-authored by Damien Alloyeau (CNRS) and myself: tinyurl.com/4ab25tzy@NatureChemistry
Thrilled to share that I have been promoted to Full Professorship in the Department of Mechanical Engineering @umdme, @ClarkSchool , University of Maryland. In this hour of joy, I thank my mentors, advisors, past and current students, family and friends.
Hannah Zierden @HZierden has been recognised as one of our 2024 Emerging Investigators! In her featured article as part of the series she reviews microorganism-derived extracellular vesicles as emerging contributors to female reproductive health! š

Excited and grateful to receive an @NSF CAREER award. This means you will hear a lot more about membrane hydrodynamics from me in the coming years.
For now, I am thankful to students, colleagues, mentors, family, and the @ucdavis@UCDavisCOE ecosystem that made this possible.
Just a reminder that the Liquid phase EM GRC in Lucca, Italy on January 28 is fast approaching! Historically, students have received a sizeable travel stipend, so this is a great opportunity to attend an international conference! Apply at tinyurl.com/y47ksb5m#Microscopy

Excited to share our latest work with the @WebersGroup!
Droplets are usually spherical.
We found that liquids can form a weird, new morphology if sustained out of equilibrium:
A spherical shell of liquid material.
