#MM2021Virtual's not over yet: ECC's own Stephen House combines a variety of #TEM #microscopy techniques to reveal how surface treatments alter the nano-scale structure of nickel #superalloy to enable protective scale formation even at low temperatures! Talk #944, Thursday, P01.9

[Environmental TEM Catalysis Consortium @PittECC]

On Wednesday, swing by Poster #753 (Symposium A04.P1) to see how Dr. Meng Li & Co are using in situ environmental #TEM to determine the atomic-scale dynamics of surface reconstruction during the earliest stages of copper oxidation. Watch those atoms go! #MM2021Virtual #Microscopy

[Environmental TEM Catalysis Consortium @PittECC]

While at #MM2021Virtual, stop by Symposium A04.5 Presentation #430 to hear how Xianhu Sun and coworkers leveraged in situ Environmental #TEM to quantify the reaction kinetics of intergranular oxidation in copper at the atomic scale. #Microscopy @PittEngineering @PittChemE

[Environmental TEM Catalysis Consortium @PittECC]

#MM2021Virtual is upon us once more! Remember to check out Symposium A04 -- "New Frontiers in In-Situ Electron Microscopy in Liquids and Gases" -- to see the incredible research underway at the cutting edge of this increasingly important field. https://t.co/9DbiMgY3CV

Dr. Meng Li et al.'s atomic-scale Environmental #TEM study uncovering the unusual phenomena occurring during the initial stages of copper oxidation was recently selected as a @NatureComms editors' highlight! Read it for free: https://t.co/utq6vbWTeD @ChemEPitt @PittEngineering

[Environmental TEM Catalysis Consortium @PittECC]

Make it a good Tuesday morning by attending ECC-collaborator Meng Li's #TMS2021 talk on how she employed environmental #TEM to unveil the initial stages of Cu/Cu-Ni #oxidation down the atom ...all in real time! #TMSAnnualMeeting @PittEngineering

[Environmental TEM Catalysis Consortium @PittECC]

Start this Monday (15th) off right with ECC staff scientist Stephen House's #TMS2021 presentation on how surface treatment can be used to facilitate protective oxide scale growth at lower temperatures normally possible! #TMSAnnualMeeting @PittEngineering https://t.co/cRwpNV3fBh

[Environmental TEM Catalysis Consortium @PittECC]

Don't miss the talk by ECC founding director Judith Yang, discussing the atomic scale dynamics of in situ #TEM oxidation of copper, from the first atom to the last! Dec 2nd, 9am EST (symposium F.EN09) at Fall MRS2020. https://t.co/972cpwaboM #F20MRS #microscopy @PittEngineering

[Environmental TEM Catalysis Consortium @PittECC]

#Science education is for everyone! ECC scientist Stephen House & lifelong educator Cynthia House recently launched @KidizenScience (https://t.co/6zWu6BMlNN), to share their free-to-use hands-on experience-tested K-12 science activities and support. New posts weekly! #K12STEM

You normally don't want to see "mucus" and "sushi" in the same sentence, but for ECC collaborator @TNiepa it's part of a useful analogy about his group's work combating the opportunistic bacteria plaguing cystic fibrosis patients!

[University of Pittsburgh @PittTweet]

When sushi rice is compressed, it sticks to the food it surrounds. What does this have to do with lung infections? Read about a new study from Pitt engineers here: https://t.co/4XAZJ6bYz4

[Environmental TEM Catalysis Consortium @PittECC]

It's virtual MS&T20! Check out ECC scientist Stephen House's talk on how surface treatment controls the establishment and structure of protective oxide scales in high-temperature, oxidation-resistant Ni alloys! Nov 2nd, 3:20pm time slot. https://t.co/PZtBI2IyMD @PittEngineering

[Swanson School of Engineering @PittEngineering]

Congratulations @James_McKone! Only the 2nd Beckman Young Investigator @PittTweet along with @think_little! (Also a significant accomplishment for @ChemePitt!)

[Environmental TEM Catalysis Consortium @PittECC]

(3/3) On the 13th @ 5:08pm, Rituja Patil of the @James_McKone lab will reveal how homogeneous Ni-Mo precursors transform into powerful, core-shell electrocatalysts. Is this the future of renewal hydrogen from water? #catalysis #2019AIChE

[Environmental TEM Catalysis Consortium @PittECC]

(2/3) Today (11th) @ 5:30pm, Sricharani Balmuri of the @TNiepa lab will share how "slimy" P. aeruginosa bacteria use thick, mucus-y biofilms protect them from lethal interfacial stress. Don't let the cool #TEM pictures fool you; PA is a true villain of #cysticfibrosis! #2019AIChE

[Environmental TEM Catalysis Consortium @PittECC]

(1/3) We envy the folks attending the #AIChE 2019 #AIChEAnnual meeting. Sure, Orlando's a lot warmer (27C vs 10C), but more importantly, they get to attend some exciting talks by talented Pitt student's we've been fortunate to collaborate with! @ChEnected #ChemEPitt #PittGradENGR

[mpourmpakis lab @mpourmpakis_lab]

What a wonderful annual meeting of our Pittsburgh Cleveland Catalysis Society! Many thanks to our excellent group of invited speakers, students, post docs and faculty who attended! Grateful to our sponsors for their support @micromeritics @LubrizolCorp @ChemePitt !

[mpourmpakis lab @mpourmpakis_lab]

Fantastic invited talks from @pengliu_group, Marc Porosoff, Julie Renner, @venkvis, Gang Wu, Stephen House!

[Environmental TEM Catalysis Consortium @PittECC]

This time last year, the NFCF @PittTweet welcomed a new atomic-resolution @thermosci Themis #ElectronMicroscope to campus. You can follow the entire installation and room renovation process in photos here: https://t.co/NOzIWBmH7o What a change! @PittEngineering @DietrichSchool

[Pitt ChemE @ChemePitt]

Congratulations to Dr. Lei Li, who received a National Science Foundation award of $223,093 to study how water affects the molecular structure of IL at IL-solid interfaces. https://t.co/uhiJk2IXJR

While enjoying your refreshments at the final #NAM26 poster session this evening, don't forget to swing by the ECC booth (208) to see how we can work together to peel back the veil from the #nano-scale structural dynamics taking place during your #catalysis reactions! @NAMcat26
