I am thrilled to announce the publication of my comprehensive review paper, "Mechanochemistry and mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes: Advances in experimental, theoretical, and computational understanding." This work synthesizes decades of research, revealing exceptional mechanical characteristics like Young’s moduli up to 1.8 TPa and tensile strengths exceeding 100 GPa. We explore unique deformation mechanisms, theoretical frameworks, and modern approaches like machine learning for predictive nanomaterial design. This paper is particularly special t...
Edward Witten [ ias.edu/sns/witten ] In the realm of dreams last night, something truly extraordinary unfolded—I found myself in the presence of the eminent theoretical physicist Edward Witten, whose enlightening article, "Magic, Mystery, and Matrix," had occupied my thoughts the day before. As I slumbered, the boundaries between wakefulness and reverie blurred, and there he stood, the very architect of the captivating ideas I had explored in his article. This serendipitous encounter in the dream world filled me with profound joy, as I realized I had been granted the unique chanc...
