Life as a one long decision tree… TikTok for inverse materials design… today’s event refracted through GPT (see photo…) - a privilege to see @aronwalsh.github.io’s wide-ranging and stimulating talk on AI for materials this pm @ Energy2025 @iopp-environment.bsky.social @ioppublishing.bsky.social

“I chose this career because it lets me live in this world of ideas” 🤩💭💡

Inspiring words from our careers panelist Jelena Popovic-Neuber, Associate Professor of Battery Technology, University of Stavanger, this afternoon @ioppublishing.bsky.social @iopp-environment.bsky.social

Great talk from Petra Cameron of Uni Bath spanning the economics of electricity, her obsession with her own rooftop solar cells, and why perovskites are/remain such promising candidates as alternatives to silicon PV. A few myths busted along the way for good measure 😅 @ioppublishing.bsky.social

⚠️ Chemists in the house ⚠️
@ifanstephens.bsky.social continues our day of interdisciplinary talks at the IOP with a summary of the ubiquity of the Haber-Bosch process, and how alternatives to lithium electrolytes could help unlock green ammonia as a fuel for the future @iopp-environment.bsky.social

And we’re off! @emjewls.bsky.social gets JPhys Energy’s Energy2025 event underway with a colourful portrait of her pathway from pigments in industry to leading the battery sustainability group at Uni Birmingham. @ioppublishing.bsky.social

AI for advanced functional materials: Exploring current and future directions iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

🆕 in JPhys Materials - a great 12,00 word primer penned by key figures in the field including @sergei-imaging.bsky.social and @vlderinger.bsky.social @ioppublishing.bsky.social #AI

[1/3] Why do we need new types of solar cell, and why are they so hard to make? Can AI really discover new materials?

Join us on 29 April at the IOP in London as we tackle these and other fundamental questions shaping the future of energy research. Not to be missed!! @ioppublishing.bsky.social

Ambient energy harvesting is pretty cool (and hot) 🥶🌶️🌡️ But what is needed in order to fully harness its potential for green energy anytime, anywhere? The Roadmap on energy harvesting materials by @vpecunia.bsky.social et al points the way forward -> JPhys Materials iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

Congratulations to all those recognised in our Rising Stars in Optics 2024 cohort! 🌟 🥼 💫 🔬 ✨

Celebrating a selection outstanding researchers from around the world that are within seven years of their PhD and are leading their own groups

Journal of Optics 25th 🎂

Big thanks to everyone who came along to the IOP reception #f24MRS last night. Great ambience and fun to speak to so many people doing amazing things in materials science. Hope you all enjoyed! 🍹 🍸 🍷 @hybridlinn.bsky.social @lonepair.bsky.social @bluebananna.bsky.social @virtualatoms.bsky.social

Pleasure to meet with Cambridge alumni Mengxia Liu (Yale) and Yun Liu (A*STAR) and hear about their work on DFT and controlling light and spin in chiral halide perovskite semiconductors. Shout out to @aswathyvgirija.bsky.social! #f24MRS - small world!

Day 3 at #f24MRS and a new but equally odd memoji. Really nice talk from Dominik Bucher of TUM on diamond quantum sensors for NMR spectroscopy. No photos allowed 🚫but I can illustrate through emoji (ish) 💎💎☢️🧲🔬

Lovely to bump into Alex @virtualatoms.bsky.social, JPhys Materials Emerging Leader tonight! Great meeting you, and congrats! 🙌 💫 💻 🧪 #f24mrs #ioppublishing

Day 2 at #f24mrs and I’m boothless and roaming free 😀 dm if you’d like to meet for a chat. Always keen to learn about your work and discuss publishing with IOP, esp JPhys Materials, JPhys Energy, Materials for Quantum Tech, and Neuromorphic Comp & Eng. Excuse the poor likeness 😅
