*Please retweet* Thanks 2025 Binks Symposium on Renewable Energy Storage & Generation: 4 June 2025, @UniofOxford @OxfordPhysics Details, speakers & FREE registration via link below (also opportunity to present posters). lnkd.in/d8xPFNp2 Organisers: @SnaithGroup & me

Today we release TorchSim, a next-generation PyTorch-native atomistic simulation engine for the MLIP era. Our hope is that this open-source package ignites a materials simulation revolution.

Paid internships for undergraduate students from a UK university: We are excited to announce that this year as well we will be hosting several interns under @FaradayInst Fuse scheme for battery projects. Please check the link faraday.ac.uk/fuse-internshi… and spread the word 🥼🧪🔋

Two days of excellent science and heartfelt memories (old and new). The Grey-hounds/friends coming together for this occasion is the direct testimonial of Clare’ unmatched guidance, contagious curiosity and dedication for the science. happy birthday Clare 🎉🎊🥳

*Please retweet* Looking forward to presenting an online talk on energy materials as part the @beyondbenign @IUPAC webinar series. Registration: mailchi.mp/ae959a1fc960/c…

WHOA. 2200MWh / 275 MW #lithium LFP #battery fed by 500MW #solar farm. this is EIGHT (8!!) hours grid discharge power, and *FOUR* (4!!) hours of batt/solar storage ratio. For comparison, last year's global ratio was 160GWh #BESS/ 600GW solar = 0.27 hrs. reneweconomy.com.au/huge-eight-hou…

3rd chapter of Emily’s LiOH–LiBr trilogy: we investigate the peritectoid Li₄(OH)₃Br for thermal energy storage. The reported structure is a metastable hydrate. We synthesise the anhydrous phase and measure a melting enthalpy of 263 ± 3 J/g at ~290 °C pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

A great collaborative piece of work on hard carbon recycling from sodium ion batteries. Check it out. doi.org/10.1002/aenm.2…

It was a huge pleasure to be at the special symposium for friend & colleague Prof Dame Clare Grey @GreyGroupCam to celebrate her 60th birthday @ChemCambridge. Also great to see others incl @YingShirleyMeng @MRosaPalacin & many more.

Read the latest experiment and theory collaborative work out of FI Degradation project giving a holistic understanding of nature and impact of Rock Salt layers in Ni rich cathodes published in ACS Energy Letters. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Congratulations to Prof. Dame Clare Grey @GreyGroupCam @Cambridge_Uni who was honored today at the 2025 Richard R. Ernst Lecture @ETH_en for her contributions in the field of battery research.
