  1. With the accelerated global interest in MXenes, the fastest-growing family of 2D materials, Drexel University hosted the 3rd International Conference, MXenes: Changing the World. This vibrant conference is the only one in the US solely devoted to MXenes, and the presentations and discussions brought together a significant number of top researchers with students. However, dedicated conferences and an increasing number of symposia are popping up worldwide as more applications and adaptations of MXenes are discovered and developed. We see the impact of this material and embrace its momentum as we look to the future.

  2. A coastal eddy is modelled as a barotropic vortex propagating along a coastal shelf. If the vortex speed matches the phase speed of any coastal trapped shelf wave modes, a shelf wave wake is generated leading to a flux of energy from the vortex into the wave field. Using a simple shelf geometry, we determine analytic expressions for the wave wake and the leading-order flux of wave energy. By considering the balance of energy between the vortex and wave field, this energy flux is then used to make analytic predictions for the evolution of the vortex speed and radius under the assumption that the vortex structure remains self-similar. These predictions are examined in the asymptotic limit of small rotation rate and shelf slope and tested against numerical simulations. If the vortex speed does not match the phase speed of any shelf wave, steady vortex solutions are expected to exist. We present a numerical approach for finding these nonlinear solutions and examine the parameter dependence of their structure.
