Wyeth has been honored with the Edward K.C. Lee Award, the highest distinction granted by UCI’s Department of Chemistry for graduate students. The award, which carries a $2,000 honorarium, recognizes exceptional productivity and impactful scientific breakthroughs....
CCAM Junior Research Fellows and Faculty have had continuous engagement with Alliance middle school students and tracked the effect on academic performance. Through sustained interactions we have been able to measure the impact of activities on California Science Test...
We are thrilled to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our Seed PI, Prof. Maxx Arguilla: Selected as a 2025 IUPAC Young Observer. Maxx has been chosen by the U.S. National Committee as one of ten 2025 International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC)...
Using in-situ atomic resolution HAADF-STEM imaging, the study provides direct experimental evidence that grain rotation in nanocrystalline materials is primarily driven by disconnection-mediated shear-coupled grain boundary (GB) migration, confirming a...
We introduce a neural network kinetics (NNK) scheme that predicts and simulates diffusion-induced chemical and structural evolution in complex concentrated chemical environments. The framework is grounded on efficient on-lattice structure and chemistry representation...
Machine learning (ML) models can be interpretable, providing new fundamental physical/chemical insights into materials systems. We developed interpretable ML models1 to investigate two very different materials systems: • Peptide “wires” experimentally shown to exhibit...
