It's all about transitions - dealing sustainably and reliably with critical metal oxides in simulations and technologies

Colloquia Series on Sustainable Metallurgy
The recovery of valuable refractory metals from industrial slags is a pressing challenge. This talk introduces a strategy based on Engineered Artificial Minerals, which selectively sequester target elements during smelting and recrystallization. Using DFT calculations and flame-spray pyrolysis, this ... [more]

IPAM Workshop: Bridging the Gap - Transitioning from Deterministic to Stochastic Interaction Modeling in Electrochemistry

IPAM Workshop on Electochemistry

Closing metal loops sustainably - opportunities & challenges for a successful circular economy

Colloquia Series on Sustainable Metallurgy
Metals are essential for climate and digital technologies, making resource-efficient use and high-quality recycling across their entire lifecycle crucial. This lecture explores the role of recycling in a true circular economy, highlighting the need for clear system definitions, realistic ... [more]

Precision Epitaxy in Nanocrystalline Thin Films: Defect‑Tailored Platforms for Electrocatalysis

Topological defects—dislocations, grain boundaries, and related features—play an essential role in determining the properties of crystalline materials. When crystallite or functional domain sizes shrink to the nanometer scale, these defects become dominant. To date, however, neither bottom‑up nor ... [more]

Big data microscopy: Machine learning-driven statistical characterization of shape evolution in nanoparticle growth

Understanding the geometry of nanomaterials at the atomic scale provides critical insights into local structural heterogeneities and their impact on functional properties. Since shapes vary from particle to particle, detailed analysis at the single-particle level is essential. In this talk, I will ... [more]

Manipulating Structural Integrity of Pre-Cracked Thin Metallic Sheets through Electric Current Pulsing

Recent studies have shown that the passage of an electric current pulse may both propagate [1,2] and close a crack and heal a metallic material [3]. Specifically, experiments on thin Al foils containing edge cracks have proved that the self-induced electromagnetic forces, spontaneously generated ... [more]
