A wonderful day in Philadelphia on the 4th of November at the Nanomaterial group of Drexel University with Prof. Yuri Gogotsi, one of the discoverer of MXenes and leading figure in this research field, and Dr. Alex Gogotsi, founder of Carbon Ukraine, which is the principal provider of MAX phases and MXenes worldwide. Our senior researcher Dr. Pierluigi Bilotto had the possibility to visit the labs in Gogotsi’s group and discuss the next research directions on MXenes. We are exciting to start future collaboration between CEST, Carbon Ukraine and Drexel University.
