Welcome to our newest CSN member, Lee! Lee is one of many kinds of nanomaterials that help improve our technology and consumer goods. Lee in particular has a helpful role in powering battery materials due to their nano-size. But what happens if Lee gets released into the environment? Check our Lifeology course (link in the bio) to learn about nanomaterials and the importance of recycling! Boundless thanks to @lifeologyapp and @elfylandstudios for helping us make Lee come to life!
Our CSN team just after our big Reverse Site Visit presentation to NSF last week.
A few weeks ago, Diamond and Blake, grad students at the University of Iowa, visited the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign on a lab exchange. Because we as a center are geographically separated (spanning from Boston, MA in the east to Richland, WA in the West), lab exchanges allow us to connect with our collaborators and work more smoothly together.
