Collagen is one of the most important building materials in biology.
Led by my grad student @eesha_khare we developed a molecular mechanics deep learning framework & discover design principles of collagen, leading to de novo biomaterials

Great work by graduate student @eesha_khare! We survey recent advances & open questions in our understanding of how chemical properties of metal-coordinate complexes influence multiscale mechanics, with the aim of using metal-coordination bonding as a novel crosslinking tool
Our latest paper in @NatRevMater reviews the state of the art and opportunities in metal-coordinate bonds as a highly tunable mechanical system, learning from nature and building on it - read the paper here: https://t.co/yD6sVbRwfV with @eesha_khare and Niels Holten-Andersen
Chemistry is a language. With NLPs, transformers (like in AlphaFold 2), and other fascinating ideas emerging in #MachineLearning, excited to see how representations of chemicals capture more chemical intricacies while being less compute-resource intensive.
By treating molecules and reactions like words and sentences, scientists have found ways to get the machine-learning tools that let Alexa or Siri understand your questions to instead learn chemistry. https://t.co/tT7Nf52IpC
JUST IN: President-elect Joe Biden plans to name Gina McCarthy as domestic climate coordinator. She will coordinate federal efforts aimed at drastically lowering the U.S.'s greenhouse gas emissions.

Lab bench battery performance (coin/ pouch cell) doesn’t always translate to commercial performance. Avoiding Theranos-like over promises (Nikola motors) through clear communication of labwork v. real product is a lesson for scientists and investors.
Published this weekend with @_not_plain_jain@Zhang_Melissa: "Preventing Fraud in the Battery World". Let us know your thoughts for promoting a healthier ecosystem for battery technologists, investors, and policymakers: https://t.co/LWGAVfhtbt #battchat#energystorage#batteries
Steel industry contributes 7% of total GHG emissions—By using hydrogen instead of coal to convert iron from iron ore, steel plants can emit water vapor instead of CO2. Project being launched in Sweden is an important step forward. #hydrogeneconomy#steel
A recent pivot in business strategy by @LKABgroup has major significance for the global steel industry. RMI’s @KochBlank explores how Europe’s largest iron ore producer is tackling #climatechange: https://t.co/w1s6Bu7n7S

Because of food #allergies, we need a fast way to test for allergens and contaminants in over 33 million kg/day of protein are available in North America. Aerosol-printed #graphene sensors may be the way.
