Thank you all the co-authors for an amazing collaboration through the NSF CCI MSTAR center.

[Penn Engineering @PennEngineers]

Like the Nobel-winning 2D material graphene, MXenes could revolutionize electronics and energy. In @ScienceMagazine, @a_vojvodic of @CBE_Penn and Zahra Fakhraai of @PennChemistry show how adding multiple metals lets scientists tune MXenes’ properties.

CBE@Penn has two open faculty searches, across multiple areas and ranks. Come and be a part of the great things happening here in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering! @CBE_Penn @PennEngineers

[Tejs Vegge @TVegge]

We are go! Thomas Olsen and @nicola_marzari @nccr_marvel @EPFL_en kicking off the #CAMD2024 summer school hosted by DTU Physics @DTUtweet with the opening lecture on DFT. Exciting week ahead for the many students and postdocs #TeamCAPeX

[Aleksandra Vojvodic @a_vojvodic]

Congrats @AbhinavSRaman1! So well-deserved! Can’t wait to see what will come next!

[Abhinav S. Raman @AbhinavSRaman1]

The Condensed Matter Engineering Lab https://t.co/u6ksVCBF96 will work at the intersection of Electronic Structure, Stat Mech, and ML to understand the dynamics and rare events dictating chemical transformations in the condensed phase. Reach out to know more about our research!

[Chinedum Osuji @OsujiChinedum]

👏 @jwilceclab Looking forward to your return to @CBE_Penn and @KleinmanEnergy after your pivotal service @FECMgov! @PennEngineers

[Penn Engineering @PennEngineers]

Congratulations to @ShuYangPenn - Joseph Bordogna Professor of Engineering and Applied Science in @CBE_Penn and chair of @MSEatPenn - on her election as 2024 American Association for the Advancement of Science (@AAAS) Fellow. Read more: https://t.co/TUpL8Fik1m

[Vagelos Institute for Energy Science and Technolog @VagelosEnergy]

We are excited that the Vagelos Institute for Energy Science and Technology will bring @Penn faculty, students and researchers together to contribute to the energy future the world needs! #energyatpenn

[Chinedum Osuji @OsujiChinedum]

We are looking forward to having joining our fantastic @CBE_Penn @PennEngineers faculty Sherry!

[Jennifer Wilcox @jwilceclab]

Honored to be selected for @TIME 100 Climate list which represents a broad and diverse group, representative of the collective solutions we’ll need to reach our climate goals!

[Peter Psarras @petepsarras]

Congratulations to Jen Wilcox @jwilceclab on being selected as one of Time’s “100 Most Influential Climate Leaders in Business 2023”! What a well deserved honor and a great day for carbon management. @KleinmanEnergy @CBE_Penn @Penn

[Heirloom @heirloomcarbon]

The United States officially has its first commercial Direct Air Capture facility!

Today we welcomed U.S. Secretary of @ENERGY, Jennifer M Granholm, and California Lieutenant Governor, Eleni Kounalakis, to unveil a facility in our home state of California where we'll capture and lock away CO2 from the atmosphere.

Powered by 100% renewable energy supplied by PG&E and Ava Community Energy, constructed with union labor, backed by catalytic buyers of best-in-class carbon removal, and built in partnership with the City and community of Tracy, this first facility is our blueprint for responsible removal at billion-ton scale and beyond.

With a capture capacity of up to 1,000 tons per year, the CO2 captured at this facility will go for storage in concrete with our partner @CarbonCure so that it cannot continue heating the planet.

This facility is more than a labor of love from the engineers, researchers, chemists, construction workers, scientists, managers, assistants, policy wonks, and architects who made it possible –– it is a promise of what is possible when committed people come together to get things done, and a promise that we will keep building today, tomorrow, and every day after until we’ve realized our vision of a safer and more stable climate.

You can read more about the technology, partnerships, and people behind this facility here: https://t.co/1dp1zJPCnT

[Secretary Jennifer Granholm @SecGranholm]

Heirloom Carbon Technologies is an example of how America can fight and win against the climate crisis.

Seeing this project take form is an exciting moment for our country.

Efforts to advance the commercialization of carbon removal push us closer to our climate goals.

Slowly recovering from the #AIChE2023 trip! Took a detour to give a talk at UCF invited by @FudongLiu1. It was great to see many friends, collaborators and colleagues. Had a reunion with Aleks @a_vojvodic after 4 years! Now back to work...

[Peter Psarras @petepsarras]

@MichaelEMann @nytimes @PennCSSM That technology emerged from our @KleinmanEnergy lab at @Penn. Happy to meet with you and Joe to discuss everything @Penn_Today got wrong in today’s piece.

[Chinedum Osuji @OsujiChinedum]

Fantastic! @PennEngineers @CBE_Penn @PennAIChE

[Abhinav S. Raman @AbhinavSRaman1]

I'm on the faculty job market! My group will seek to understand dynamics and rare events that control chemical transformations at interfaces and in solutions using a combination of computational tools. Check https://t.co/x8TZPbZAHh for my #AIChE schedule & email me for more info.
