SUMMARY:Shining Light on Solar Cells and Their Material Impacts
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Woods-Robinson\, PhD\, University of Washington Clean Energy Institute\nSponsored by California ACS\n10:30am-Noon\, Online via Zoom\, Free\, Registration required\n\nAbstract: Addressing climate change requires transitioning to renewables such as photovoltaic solar panels\, but one key barrier to this transition is that we need better materials. In this talk\, we’ll start at the sun and then zoom into a solar panel all the way down to the nanoscale\, highlighting materials challenges that scientists face at each length scale to make solar more efficient\, reliable\, and sustainable. We’ll meet the different material components\, such as absorbers and transparent conductors (TCs)\, and I’ll share some of my research into designing new TCs for solar. Next\, we’ll zoom back out to discuss challenges we face beyond the lab in bringing solar to society\, including critical raw materials\, environmental impacts\, and “green sacrifice zones.” Lastly\, I’ll share some insights from my outreach project Cycle for Science and college course Cycle the Rockies. \nAbout the speaker: Rachel Woods-Robinson (she/her) received a B.S. in Physics from UCLA\, and a Ph.D. at U.C. Berkeley and Berkeley Lab designing new crystals for solar energy by combining computational chemistry\, thin film growth\, and device fabrication. Rachel recently started as a Postdoctoral Fellow at University of Washington’s Clean Energy Institute to study environmental and human impacts of such new solar materials. In addition to research goals to curtail climate change\, Rachel aims to support scientists in sharing our work accessibly and engaging collaboratively with our communities\, and loves outdoor adventuring. She co-founded “Cycle for Science\,” in which scientists go on bicycle tours and visit K-12 classes to teach hands-on lessons about sustainability\, and she instructs “Cycle the Rockies” (Wild Rockies Field Institute)\, an immersive month-long course in which undergrads ride bicycles across Montana to learn about local energy and climate impacts.

SUMMARY:Psychological Safety is Lab Safety: Using RAMP to Assess DEIR Hazards
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by ACS Webinars\, ACS Committee on Chemical Safety\, and ACS Chemical Health & Safety Division\n11:00am-Noon\, Online via Zoom\, Free\, Registration required\n\nThink back to a time when you tried to go to work or class tired\, stressed out\, or upset. You likely had difficulty focusing which lead to more mistakes\, poor collaboration\, and results that were not at your usual level. Now imagine that you feel this way every day at work\, and the stakes are higher because those mistakes can lead to dangerous lab incidents. Challenges around Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion and Respect are often thought of as HR issues\, but poor mental health stemming from a toxic lab culture will inevitably lead to scientists engaging in risky lab behavior to protect their psychological safety at the detriment of their physical safety. Students bullied by their peers or supervisors begin to work at night\, alone\, to avoid those individuals. Professionals who do not hold a Ph.D. are told directly that their opinions on the safety of laboratory procedures do not matter and stop bringing up potential issues. Stress or pressure to produce results quickly (in both academia and industry) lead to improper risk assessment and unsafe practices. \n\n\n\nDiversity of thought creates a culture to avert disaster and a workspace where safety can be proactive rather than reactive. In a recently published JACS article\, anecdotes from academia and industry describe positive situations where a bench scientist who disclosed their pregnancy led to in-depth conversations around reproductive health and best safety practices in their lab. Individuals who came from different countries\, universities\, or companies were empowered to bring new perspectives to improve safety and challenge unsafe practices by suggesting alternative syntheses or chemical reagents. Individuals who felt psychologically safe enough to share their cultures with others had increased engagement. \nJoin authors of “Reducing Risk: Strategies to Advance Laboratory Safety through Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion\, and Respect\,” Debbie Decker of ACS CHAS\, Anna Dunn of Merck\, and Daniel Jacques of SUNY Brockport\, as they discuss the latest research regarding the intersection of Safety and DEIR with innovative ideas on how to mitigate this hazard. Register now to discover how addressing DEIR hazards or issues by using the RAMP risk assessment framework will advance safety for all laboratory personnel. \nThis ACS Webinar is co-produced with the ACS Committee on Chemical Safety and the ACS Division of Chemical Health and Safety. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nWhat is a DEIR hazard and what are some ideas on how to mitigate these risks\nHow one might apply the RAMP assessment concept to DEIR hazards\nAnecdotes from academia and industry regarding how marginalization\, stereotyping\, unconscious or conscious bias\, or other forms of exclusion have directly or indirectly led to increased safety incidents in the lab\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Details\n\nThursday\, November 9\, 2023 @ 2-3pm ET\nFree to register with ACS ID\nSlides will be available on the day of the Live event

SUMMARY:Programmable Shape Morphing & Responsiveness of Composite Hydrogels
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Jinhye Bae\, UC San Diego\nDepartment of NanoEngineering & Materials Science and Engineering\nSponsored by the Golden Gate Polymer Forum (GGPF)\n6:00-7:00pm\, Online via Zoom\, Free/$5 Donation\, Registration required\n\nAbstract: The design and fabrication of stimuli-responsive hydrogels and hybrids with reversible shape morphing and tunable actuation speed have been of great interest. In this talk\, I will discuss our recent progress in approaches to integrate functional materials (e.g. graphene oxide\, nanoclay\, etc.) into stimuli-responsive hydrogels (e.g. poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)). These approaches provide insights into how the presence of functional additives and physical interactions between the additives and hydrogel networks can lead to different internal structures\, and thus mechanical properties. Next\, I will describe how we have leveraged these insights to precisely program the 3D shapes and control the swelling-deswelling kinetics by external stimuli\, and tune the mechanical properties. Lastly\, I will also demonstrate how different manufacturing processes can affect the microstructures and properties of hydrogels and their hybrids. Such a systemic approach to stimuli-responsive shape morphing systems of hydrogels and hybrids will allow us to understand their structure-property relationships and utilize these systems for applications ranging from soft robotics to biomedical devices. \nSpeaker background: Jinhye Bae is an Assistant Professor in the Department of NanoEngineering at the University of California\, San Diego. She received her Ph.D. in Polymer Science and Engineering at the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst\, then worked in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University as a Postdoctoral Fellow. Her research focuses on understanding the structure-property relationship of polymeric materials to program their shape reconfiguration and responsiveness. Her research interests also include the integration of material characteristics into new structural design and fabrication approaches for applications in biomedical devices\, soft robotics\, actuators\, and sensors. She has received several awards including the ACS PMSE Young Investigator Award (2023)\, the AIChE President Young Investigator Award (2021)\, and the ACS PRF Doctoral New Investigator Award (2021)\, She also has been selected as the Emerging Investigator in Nanoscale (2023)\, Soft Matter (2022)\, and Polymer Chemistry (2020).

SUMMARY:Unbreakable Design: The Polymer Mechanochemistry of Self-Healing Materials
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by ACS Webinars and ACS Polymer Chemistry Division\n11:00am-12:30pm\, Online via Zoom\, Free\, Registration required\n\nWhat if we could invent materials that can repair themselves when damaged? Polymer molecules in various states – solid\, melt\, solution – are susceptible to covalent bond changes in response to mechanical fields. For example\, traditional materials under load stress experience deformation which leads to deterioration. However\, the “mechanophore hypothesis” proposes that new materials can be created that utilize selective bond activation where force drives a chemical change in selective and productive ways\, leading to safer and longer lasting materials that are not susceptible to this cycle of deterioration. \n\n\n\nJeff Moore of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign will introduce you to the mechanophore hypothesis\, including the history of polymer mechanochemistry over the past two decades. Then\, Steve Craig of Duke University will share several examples of materials-chemistry interplay in polymer mechanochemistry. These case studies will highlight how scientists can harness the intrinsic strength of polymers to delve into\, shape\, and potentially redefine the underlying principles of reactivity\, and use embedded mechanochemical reactions to probe\, influence\, and even rewrite the performance rules of polymeric materials. Following these examples\, Jeff Moore will conclude the webinar by sharing a recently developed tool/framework that can help scientists approach designing mechanophores that are thermally stable but mechanochemically active\, paving the way for mechanoresponsive functions in polymeric materials. Discover how polymers have transitioned from a history of degradation to a future where mechanical adaptability is opening avenues for materials that heal themselves\, warn of high stress or can even repair electrical circuits. \nThis ACS Webinar is moderated by Junpeng Wang of the University of Akron and is co-produced with the ACS Division of Polymer Chemistry. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nHistorical perspectives on polymer mechanochemistry\nHow the mechanophore hypothesis impacts selective and beneficial mechanochemistry in polymers\nWhy polymer mechanochemistry has a solid and quantitative foundation very much aligned with familiar reactivity principles\nHow the presence of mechanochemical reactions can have a profound and productive impact on polymer performance\nWhy embedding reactions in stretched polymeric materials can change the outcome of those reactions\nThe restoring force triangle as a mnemonic tool for mechanophore design\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Details\n\nThursday\, November 16\, 2023 @ 2-3:30pm ET\nFree to register with ACS ID\nSlides will be available on the day of the Live event

SUMMARY:SLAC Public Lecture: Faster! Catching up to Electrons on the Move (Hybrid Event)
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory7:00-8:00pm\, Free\, Registration required to attend in-person (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory\, Kavli Auditorium\, 2575 Sand Hill Rd\, Menlo Park\, CA 94025) or Watch Live on SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory’s YouTube Channel | Learn more  \nAbstract: Electrons are tiny particles that hold together the atoms in molecules. When sunlight interacts with a molecule\, it first transfers its energy to the electrons.  Then\, as the electrons move\, the molecule changes form\, reshaping itself or even breaking apart.  We do not fully understand how electrons affect the molecules to which they belong because it is very hard to catch them in action.  Electrons move incredibly quickly\, and they behave according to the peculiar laws of quantum mechanics.  But now\, we can follow the motion of electrons using SLAC’s Linac Coherent Light Source\, an accelerator that can make pulses of X-rays that are shorter than one millionth of a billionth of a second.  In this lecture\, I will explain how this one-of-a-kind tool allows us to watch speedy electrons as they move. \n \nAbout the Speaker: Taran Driver is an Associate Staff Scientist at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) and the Stanford PULSE Institute. He grew up in the United Kingdom\, where he obtained his B.Sc. in physics and philosophy from the University of Nottingham in 2014\, and his Ph.D. in biomolecular structure analysis from Imperial College London in 2019. He came to SLAC in 2019 as a postdoctoral scholar at the Stanford PULSE Institute. His research at SLAC focuses on using the unique ultrashort X-ray pulses made by the LCLS to understand how electrons move within molecules. In his spare time\, he enjoys cycling and playing soccer in the California sunshine. \nSee also: Taran Driver wins 2023 LCLS Young Investigator Award for work on capturing ultrafast electron movements (SLAC News\, October 20\, 2023)
