Remember when not all mixes were eclectic

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

tell me you haven’t missed these sheet metal skies

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science 🧪👩‍🔬 Recognising my amazing immediate @ioppublishing.bsky.social colleagues @aswathyvgirija.bsky.social, @celiarowland.bsky.social, @sophiecaldwell.bsky.social @publisher-myla.bsky.social, @drepappalardo.bsky.social who, whilst not practising...

Tomorrow!

Excited to announce the publication of "Diffusion models for super-resolution microscopy" in JPhysPhoton! Work led by @harshithb.bsky.social with a step-by-step guide to building diffusion models to transform microscopy images from low- to high-resolution. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

This week I am here in sunny (but breezy) San Francisco for @spie.org Photonics West- meeting some new faces and some familiar ones. Looking forward to chatting about MQT, JPhys Photonics and JOPT and hearing more about exciting research happening in the field 🤩

Our latest podcast features a conversation with Colm O’Dwyer, who is professor of chemical energy at University College Cork in Ireland and president of the Electrochemical Society. ⚛️🧪 ow.ly/cHb250ULPpb

Soft matter, hard challenges... Synthesis/characterisation, instrumental, simulation and theoretical methods... They're all taken in turn in this JPhys Materials roadmap. A key bookmark for researchers in colloids, polymers, amphiphiles, liquid crystals & foams iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

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...

Quantum batteries leverage exotic #quantum phenomena to store and release energy in ways that conventional batteries cannot. Now it turns out that the bane of most quantum devices – decoherence – can actually boost a quantum battery's charging speed. ⚛️ 🧪 physicsworld.com/a/when-charg...

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 iopscience.iop.org/journal/2040... Journal of Optics 25th 🎂

Really excited (and exciting!) to be working with such an amazing team of Editors-in-Chief of the #MachineLearningSeries at #IOPPublishing 😊 Check them out here (ioppublishing.org/publications...) if you want to learn more, or get in touch with yours truly 😊

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

Great to meet @grynova.bsky.social earlier and share in our mutual love for the inimitable @piermorgante.bsky.social of Machine Learning: Science Technology journal (MLST) 👋 🦩💚 Wish you were here, Pier! #f24mrs

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 😅

Nanodiamonds vs high entropy alloys: battle for the most potential applications? 🤷🏼 #f24mrs dozens and dozens

Elegant exposition of the crystal chemistry cosmos through inverse materials design this afternoon. Great talk @lonepair.bsky.social 🚀 🪐💫🌖 #f24mrs

Enjoyable first morning at this year’s #f24mrs, first bumping into @yvdburgt.bsky.social at registration and then shuttling between sessions and meetings. Also uncovered a shortcut between Hynes and Sheraton how did i not know about this 🤯🤯🤯

Roadmap for sustainable batteries --> key reference for materials scientists and electrochemists. Recently published in JPhys Energy. Co-led by @titiricigroup.bsky.social. Get it bookedmarked! iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...
