Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering Xiwen Gong directs the Gong Research Group at the University of Michigan. They are developing soft electronic materials and devices using a transdisciplinary approach that combines physics, chemistry, and engineering. Their goal is to innovate soft electronic materials, such as nanomaterials, polymers, and perovskites, starting at the molecular level with the aim of understanding their fundamental properties. Applications include biomedical sensing, soft robotics, energy harvesting, and storage.

Recipes for happiness from the Director of the Ornithology of Happiness project Research Institute of Cardboardia
Colleagues! Comrades! Friends! This is the director of the Laboratory of Ornithology at the Cardboardia Research Institute. I appeal to all employees of the Laboratory, all its interns and volunteers, as well as to all those who are not indifferent to the scientific progress of the state of Cardboardia.
Recipes for happiness from the Director of the Ornithology of Happiness project Research Institute of Cardboardia.
Our field trip to Kirov, the New Year's capital of Russia in 2025, was recently completed. I am ready to state with full responsibility that all the tasks set have been achieved. We continued our long-standing observations of changes in the level of happiness of the population depending on its geographical location and the time of the year. We have successfully and fruitfully conducted training and retraining of local personnel for potential further participation in the programs of our Research Institute (as well as several permanent residence visas in Cardboardia). Our main task has also been completed — the Vyatka-Kirov Bird of Happiness has been discovered, examined and studied. All received materials will be transferred to the main department of the Research Institute for further work.
I can't help but share some more specific research results. It turned out that the following actions and factors significantly increase the level of happiness in human blood:
• A sharp smile from ear to ear. However, if you have weak blood vessels, you should not use it more than 2-3 times a day.;
• the presence of a headdress on the head (regardless of its appearance and the time of day and year outside the window);
• voluntary and compulsory gymnastics;
At the same time, to our surprise, the following factors negatively affect the level of happiness (both in the short and long term):
• Regular queuing;
• moving up the career ladder too fast;
• a person's lack of sense of rhythm;
According to the tradition of our Research Institute, the Laboratory ended with a large-scale urban march. Several hundred citizens and visitors from other cities who came to Kirov temporarily became naturalists (and at the same time naturalists). The prototype of the Bird of Happiness created by us during the Laboratory has become not only the spiritual, but also the material center of the procession. All the participants, armed with all kinds of objects created by them during our Open Workshops, formed the mass, the core of the procession. Its main purpose was to test in practice (it is important — outdoors) the ability of Happiness to concentrate in various manifestations of human culture: in color, sound, matter.
One can already admit that the whole procession was one big scientific experiment. In addition to the above, it confirmed another of our hypotheses — happiness can be transmitted through physical contact. All the participants of the march were in close physical proximity to each other, which does not happen so often in everyday life. Therefore, today's advice from scientists is to stay with your friends and family more often, hug and do not be afraid of live contact with people. Infection with a bad mood through touching has not yet been proven. In the near future, the Publishing House of Cardboardia, I hope, will release a specialized brochure "Happiness at home and in reality" on how to stay happy under any circumstances.
Concluding my report, I would like to thank the Tyran of Cardboardia for such an attentive and reverent attitude towards science, its development and, most importantly, its people. Hooray, friends! Your I. K

I bought a lot of books last month for my chapter on regional cakes. The green one, The Cuisine of Hungary, is a fabulous book. The writing is remarkable, and it is all about my grandfather's country. I can't wait until I have time to enjoy it.

ISE awarded over 100 fellowship support grants to bring young researchers from all over the world to present their research at the landmark first ICE in China.
These prestigious grants were awarded to young endocrinologists and/or endocrinologists from developing countries who demonstrated effectiveness in endocrine research.
Congratulations to our successful awardees who were presented with their grant at an informal fellows reception by Secretary Treasurer Professor Paul Stewart and incoming Chair of ISE, Professor André Lacroix.
The University recently honored its 2017 cohort of Faculty Researchers of the Year, recognizing 12 faculty members for their accomplishments in the pursuit of new knowledge.
Clockwise from top, Matthias Florian, a research investigator in electrical engineering and computer science, Mackillo Kira, professor in the same department, Zhaohan Jiang, a Ph.D. student in electrical and computer engineering, and Parag Deotare, associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science, meet in the atrium of the G.G. Brown Building on the University of Michigan’s North Campus in Ann Arbor, on Monday, August 25, 2025.
Their research unites theorists and experimentalists to advance applications of quantum materials. Their work could lead to breakthroughs in semiconductors, quantum technologies, energy conversion, and sensing systems.
