On my way to Gothenburg for today's Batteries Sweden meeting, and the train is currently at a standstill outside of the final station because we are 20 minutes *too early*. This is first, at least for me...

Possibly the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen. Unbelievable

Live from PyBaMM conference. Delighted to see my name in one of the best and funny slide I have ever seen at conferences #battchat

In today's "better late than never" news, I have at last gotten around to rewiring the pickup selector switch on one of my guitars, since I had a tech install new pickups in it a while back and they did the switch backwards. That was about 18 years ago

A homemade slice of nostalgia while the family is stuck at home with the winter vomiting bug. Let's see how good a cure they are. Not sure if I've even eaten one since the 90s...

The fallout from Northvolt's troubles continues now at Novo Energy (Northvolt-Volvo JV), who have announced plans to reduce headcount 30%. Very unfortunate and hoping for the best for friends and former colleagues at Novo. #battchat

More woes and worry for the Nordic battery startup world, Morrow will cut ~25% of staff as production delays are forcing them to cut costs #battchat www.mynewsdesk.com/morrow-batte...

Same here. As one of the last big websites which isn't shit, I figure Wikipedia is worth the support.

Last day in the lab before holidays, had to hack the glove box touchscreen to work with a mouse since it stopped responding to touch, now trying to resist the urge to try and install DOOM on it

My second 🔓editorial for @naturenano.bsky.social is out. This time, I talk about something I care a lot: Why do battery researchers not use a shared basic electrochemistry terminology? www.nature.com/articles/s41... What's your experience? 🙂 #batteries #battchat #electrochemistry

Dear Sweden: I know you like saffron, especially at Christmas, but in this case... no, I don't think so

If Bluesky is to replace X for news, global coverage is key. There are consequential events happening in Syria, Ukraine, Georgia, Sudan & Gaza right now. This pack includes reporters on the ground there & analysts. Pls consider following these to share their reporting & build Bluesky's news value

Santa visits Mariefred in style for the Christmas market, taking the museum railway into town followed by a pony-drawn cart to the town square (with a huge crowd of families close behind)

First Christmas market of the season (Taxinge slott)

Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.

this is one of my favorite custom feeds, Quiet Posters it shows you posts from people you follow who don't post that much! so it surfaces friends' posts that might otherwise get drowned out in the Following feed (which is reverse chronological) 🤗

Some thoughts related to Northvolt's Chapter 11 filing, posted to LinkedIn earlier but now on my personal website as well. lacey.se/2024/11/22/h...

It's official: Northvolt files for Chapter 11 reorganisation #battchat northvolt.com/articles/cha...

100% on all of these hot takes! #battchat

I like that when my 2-year-old role plays driving, he always tells me it's an electric car he's driving (or charging). I guess I'm doing something right!

Nice afternoon for being November. This one's for you @hanseric.bsky.social

#CATL: the R&D of 2nd generation #sodium ion #batteries which have a good discharge performance at cold temperatures (-40 °C) is completed. CATL hopes to place new #SIB products on the market in 2025. #battchat

Agree. Of the EU-homegrown battery factory initiatives, Northvolt has had the best conditions to grow and succeed. They have made mistakes of course, but have laid bare just how hard it is to grow this industry when Asia (esp. China) is already so dominant #battchat

Plenty of new followers today, and some old friends! For those new followers, I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Matt, a battery and electrochemistry nerd working in the automotive industry for >5 years and 10 years in academia before that. I'm English but have lived in Sweden for 12 years

A great #battchat starter pack—let’s go!

Steve LeVine is here everybody, #battchat is back!

I guess this is an unpopular opinion here but you want conservatives and moderates on bluesky not for “intellectual diversity” or “open mindedness” or whatever but because anything that diminishes the influence of a platform owned by Musk is good, block them if you like

I've been scrolling for three minutes and haven't seen any Nazi propaganda or tedious Tesla stanning. Very refreshing

Battery Research people and those involved in the Battery Community. Trying to do my bit as everyone joins the X-odus and migrates to Blue Sky by curating #BattChat people. go.bsky.app/GKsPnAB Reply if you'd like to be in this starter pack. Trying to curate a resource as everyone rebuilds here.

Feel like I should encourage any renaissance of Battchat with some debate. Here's some: www.theverge.com/2024/11/14/2... I lean towards team Zeng. 4680 made sense 4 years ago but ultimately only serves to paper over weaknesses of NMC chemistry at system level that LFP doesn't have. Yes or no...

Idk what just broke to cause this, but there is a flood of battery Twitter peeps finally showing up here, and I love it. Make sure to check out and use the #battchat feed. Anything with that hashtag will show up there! bsky.app/profile/did:...

Changed my handle to my own domain. Nice feature!

ChemSky feed now picks up ChemSky, ChemTwitter, RealTimeChem, and ⚗️🧪 bsky.app/profile/did:...

I'm still looking for them. Please re-post to help out ....

So, where are the battery people on here? What do we call ourselves? BatterySky?

Necessary preparations have been made for "cinnamon bun day" (kanelbullens dag)
