NANOTECH - TINY PARTICLES AND DEVICES TO BUILD THE FUTURE, BY YURY GOGOTSI: PROF DREXEL UNIVERSITY

#nanotech #nanotechnology #MXene Richard Feynman's talk at Caltech in 1959 titled "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom" -Tiny Machines, gave birth to the Nanotech Industry, Tiny Particles & Devices to build the future. Nanotechnology is science and engineering at the scale of atoms and molecules. Engineers & Scientists are tinkering with the tiniest materials, turning them into products & solutions that can transform our world beyond our current understanding.  Prof Yury Gogotsi is a Ukrainian scientist in the field of material chemistry, professor at Drexel University, Philadelphia,  in the fields of Materials Science and Engineering and Nanotech. Distinguished University and Trustee Chair professor of materials science at Drexel University — director of the A.J. Drexel Nanotechnology Institute Professor Y. Gogotsi leads a scientific research group that develops new nanostructured carbon materials (nanotubes, graphene, nanodiamonds,carbide-derived carbon, onion-like carbon) and works on the hydrothermal synthesis of carbon nanostructures and ceramics. He also contributed to the development of effective water desalination and capacitive deionization techniques, electrical energy storage — batteries and supercapacitors, as well as applications of carbon nanomaterials for energy and biomedicine. Prof. Yury Gogotsi produced several publications, with the Simon/Gogotsi review in Nature Materials published in 2008 currently being the most cited article (Web of Science) in the electrochemical capacitors (supercapacitors) field.  Professor Yury Gogotsi was a part of the team that discovered a new family of two-dimensional (2D) carbides and nitrides — MXenes that show exceptional potential for energy storage and other applications. Professor Y. Gogotsi is the co-author of two books, editor of 14 books, has more than 100 publications in conference proceedings, and more than 800 articles in peer-reviewed journals, credited on more than 80 European and US patents (more than 30 licensed to industry) and more than 250 plenary, keynote and invited lectures and seminars. He has been cited over 100,000 times and currently has an h-index of 175 (Google Scholar) / (Web of Science).  In Stanford’s list of top 2% researchers in the world across all scientific disciplines, Yury Gogotsi was ranked #53 in 2019 among all living and deceased scientists. https://nano.materials.drexel.edu/  https://twitter.com/gogotsi1  https://www.linkedin.com/in/yury-gogotsi-2178273
