MEAM Seminar: “Tribofilms at the Asperity Scale”

Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

The presentation will start with an introduction to tribology. This term was first used in a 1965 UK government report which identified the economic loss due to preventable wear and poor friction performance. It helped bring together the diverse community of engineers and scientists that need to collaborate in order to tackle the complex interactions […]

MEAM/LRSM Seminar: “Enabling Soft, Flexible 2D Materials and Sensors”

Reading Room, LRSM 3231 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Low temperature synthesis of high quality 2D materials directly on flexible substrates remains a fundamental limitation towards realization of robust, strainable electronics possessing the unique physical properties of atomically thin structures. Here, we describe room temperature synthesis of uniform, stoichiometric amorphous MoS2, WSe2, and other transition metal dichalcogenides and subsequent large area (>5 cm2) photonic […]
