Had a great time spreading the good word of battery chemistry to the public at New Scientist Live today with some other @greygroupcam.bsky.social members. Lots of people, young and old, seem interested, which is brilliant to see! @newscientist.com

Please share: We're hiring a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the Grey Group. The project will focus on using operando optical microscopy to study solid-state ion dynamics and phase transformations in lithium- and sodium-ion battery materials.

247th ECS meeting in Montreal kicks off!

it's just too bad we will never solve the impenetrable mystery of who made grok obsessed with south african white genocide theory at 3:15 am

PDRA position available to work on lithium-ion battery electrolytes as part of the @FiDegradation supervised jointly by Prof. Dame Clare Grey and Prof. Dominic Wright at @ChemCambridge www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/51224/ #NMR #NMRchat 🔋

Adding to this, the classic "Ferroelectrics goes bananas" iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

We are all set for 2 day ‘Clare Grey Symposium’. Looking forward to meet all the friends and alumni of the group 🎊

Irish wind farms provided 48 per cent of Ireland’s power in February, making wind the State’s leading source of electricity last month, the group said.

The increased supply of wind energy also pushed the wholesale price of electricity downwards.

Glad BP are swift to "tackle investor concerns over earnings", rather than tackle global concerns of unmitigated damage to our environment, in which all of us, including BP investors, have to live

If you haven't been following what's been happening across the pond to science of all types, it's well worth reading this summary: physicsworld.com/a/us-science...

This isn't an abstract or peripheral thing - this is people's jobs, current projects, and deliberate destruction of existing systems.

Nice little quote here which unfortunately feels just as fitting 15 years on from publication. Taken from the wonderful "Merchants of Doubt" by @naomioreskes.bsky.social and @erikconway.bsky.social

Interesting article which mentions some companies involved in EV battery second use, an area I look forward to watching as more used battery packs come on the market. They also touch on the effect the new US administration will have on these companies based there, unsurprisingly negative

My first post on this platform can happily be celebrating the publication of a paper I worked on, helping some colleagues study the effects of potential-limited charging protocols in Li-air batteries, potentially reducing degradation
