These boxes are not moving. A mind-bending optical illusion by Japanese artist Jagarikin.
Breaking news: The U.S. Department of Energy today announced it is unilaterally cutting in half the overhead rate on its academic grants, something that a federal judge recently told the National Institutes of Health it could not do.
They intentionally made everyone’s weekend miserable!
Our latest work on electrochemical nitric acid production has just been published by Nature Catalysis. It is a collaborative work with Samira Siahrostami at Simon Fraser University. Thanks to @rongxia.bsky.social who contributed most of the experimental work. full text: rdcu.be/egdCJ
Spring at WashU
Excited to share one more piece of news from our group at WashU EECE. A review article on the topic of the economic viability of polymer-membrane-based CO2 electrolysis technologies just got published in Nature Review Clean Technology. Here is the link to access the full text: rdcu.be/efnYA

I used to visit Edinburgh every year. New year fireworks are amazing.
Truly honored to be highlighted in a recent article in ACS Energy Letters - pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10....
Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

While I don’t like 60% overhead, cutting it to 15% without any notice is absurd.
Happy Holidays
Are you interested in graduate school in Chemical & Environmental Engineering? It is not too late to apply for our EECE program at Washington University in St. Louis. My group is recruiting 2 graduate students in the fall of 2025.
Happy Thanksgiving
