At the conference, Chris gave an invited lecture titled \u201cM- and X-site engineering of MXene properties.\u201d Arunoda presented a fire talk on \u201cX-site dependency of optical\/electronic properties in MXenes,\u201d and both Arunoda and Pratiksha presented posters that generated significant discussion and engagement.<\/p>\n<p>We were excited to see the strong international interest in our group\u2019s efforts to produce MXenes with novel and emergent properties. We are grateful to the EuroMXene organizers for an excellent meeting and look forward to the new connections and collaborations that will grow from this conference.<\/p>\n<p>Very much looking forward
