15 min can turn an inactive material into a high-performance battery cathode! Our collaborative work on K-rich Fe-fluorophosphate shows how simple room-temperature potassiation creates an efficient K-ion battery cathode using earth-abundant Fe. lnkd.in/gSi9EJHN

What if your research paper could talk back… and explain itself? Tried it with NotebookLM 😄 The result: short, surprisingly fun science videos. See for yourself 👇on our group channel @thedixitlab" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">m.youtube.com/@thedixitlab

Happy to share our first Small paper! Dual-atom catalysts enhance sulfur reduction in Li-S batteries and help mitigate polysulfide shuttle. Also introducing PACE, our ML+DFT workflow for rapid catalyst screening. 🔗 doi.org/10.1002/smll.2… @CSIR_IND @clriindia

What a better Holi gift could there be! Delighted to receive the acceptance email from Small today for a paper we first shared on arXiv during Diwali. From the light of Diwali to the colors of Holi — a wonderful journey for this work. Happy Holi to everyone! 🎨

🎉 Congratulations to Sahil! 🎉 Heartiest congratulations to Sahil on winning the Best Poster Award at ACEPS-13, held at Indian Institute of Science(IISc Bangalore).
A well-deserved recognition for excellent work, proud moment indeed! 👏✨

Reflection: This year I measured progress not by # papers or grants, but by people, purpose, and better questions. Grateful for collaborators and students who valued dialogue over competition and rigor over speed. Manta: Thoughtful work today, strong foundations for tomorrow.

Excited to share our new preprint on Li–S batteries! We introduce PACE, a machine learning–accelerated framework combining MLIPs + DFT to explore adsorption and catalysis with atomic precision. arxiv.org/abs/2510.15397 Code: github.com/dixitmudit/PACE

Glad to be part of the #INYAS Mid-Year Meeting panel on Responsible Open Access, sharing thoughts on the challenges & opportunities of open-access publishing. Congrats to INYAS & Wiley on the 10-year Wiley–INYAS Special Collection!
