📢 Exciting Research Published in Nature Communications! We’re thrilled to share the new publication, "On the equilibrium limit of liquid stability in pressurized aqueous systems", authored by Arian Zarriz, Baptiste Journaux, and Matt Powell-Palm. This work explores the absolute thermodynamic limits of freezing in aqueous brines. Using isochoric freezing and melting, the authors measure the “cenotectic point” (from Greek, meaning “universal melt”) for the first time. The findings have fascinating implications for ocean worlds in our solar system, cold ocean exoplanets, and estimating ice crust thickness and final ocean depths at cenotectic pressures. 🔗 Read the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/gvpFfY_K 👏 Congratulations to Arian Zarriz, Baptiste Journaux, and Matt Powell-Palm on this remarkable achievement! #ATPBio #NSFFunded #NSFERC #IsochoricFreezing #Thermodynamics #OceanWorlds #Exoplanets

The huge opportunities and ethical challenges related to ATP-Bio's ongoing research to stop biological time is the focus of a newly released, groundbreaking symposium in The Journal on Law, Medicine & Ethics. Among the article topics: the future suspended animation of astronauts; preservation of human organs for future transplant; storing pathogens for research; preservation of biological samples for future conservation efforts; and more. Take a look at the important research, led in part by University of Minnesota Professors Susan M. Wolf, JD, and Dr. Tim Pruett, MD. https://lnkd.in/ei45_y8p NSF ERC Advanced Technologies for the Preservation of Biological Systems (ATP-Bio) Tim Pruett Andrew Maynard Rosario Isasi Susan Wolf Gary Marchant Insoo Hyun Alexander Capron Marissa Scragg Shawneequa Callier Evelyn Brister Michele Goodwin Terry Tiersch Korkut Uygun Justyna Jaskiewicz Mehmet Toner Rebecca D.

🌟 Highlights from the ME Seminar with Dr. Mark Shiflett 🌟 We had an incredible turnout for the seminar featuring Dr. Mark Shiflett, Foundation Distinguished Professor and Director of the NSF ERC EARTH at The University of Kansas! 📸 The event brought together attendees in-person at the University of Minnesota and on Zoom, including Dr. John Bischof, our ERC Director, and our amazing UMN trainees. Dr. Shiflett shared insights into environmentally applied refrigerant technologies, sparking engaging discussions about the future of sustainable engineering. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this enriching experience! #NSFERC #NSFFunded
