Lovely write up of our @APSphysics article on stick-slip motion causing electrification in droplets by @physorg_com This work flips droplet charging on its head, showing it happens dry to wet as well as wet to dry! phys.org/news/2025-03-m… doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe…

Wonderful to lead this with @dr_joeberry. It's amazing that we still are finding out things ⚡️about something as simple as a water droplet! 💧 - this is why I got into science in the first place! ❤️ Have a read of the article in @APSphysics #PRL here: doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe…

We're really excited about this work transforming #waste #polymers into #sustainable #energyharvesters, led out of @ResearchRMIT and with @AndrisSutka from Riga Technical University. Read the work our innovation is based on here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

A great talk from Professor Timothy Schmidt of UNSW Sydney on his work over the past decade on the search for intermediates in singlet fission/triplet fusion processes. #PhysChem24

Tom Oliver from @BristolUni on stage. @RACI_PhysChem

The first two hot topic talks by Dr Peter Watson of the University of Oxford on IR Action Spectroscopy and Ariel Jones from University of Melbourne on Time-Dependent DFT #PhysChem24

We had a great second session of talks from Prof Evan Bieske from University of Melbourne, Prof Katya Pas from Monash University and Prof Ivan Kassal from University of Sydney #PhysChem24

Excited about Ariel giving a talk in the upcoming session, talking about what else is happening in the group @RACI_PhysChem #ozchem

Our #GRAPHERGIA partner Philippe Basset (@UGustaveEiffel) co-hosted a symposium on #nanogenerators at the EU Materials Research Society 2024 Spring Meeting “It was a unique opportunity to discover the wealth of TENG activity in EU”, he said Read more ➡ graphergia.eu/2024/06/25/a-g…

Excited to be at #EMRS in Strasbourg this week. I'm presenting in session P today at 15.45 talking about our work on Energy Harvesters and Catalysis - come along! #SpringEMRS #EMRS2024 @ResearchRMIT

Our perspective on #electrocataylsis for #GreenChemistry is online in #AdvancedEnergyandSustainabilityResearch. We tackle challenges facing cataylsis from Data Reporting 🔢to Characterisation 🔬 and Operating Conditions🔥 doi.org/10.1002/aesr.2… @ResearchRMIT @AndrisSutka

Using Titanium Dioxide to split water seems an incredibly bad idea? 🤦‍♂️ - unless you decouple the half reactions. 🪓 In new research from @AndrisSutka and @ResearchRMIT we show how. In Acid 🧪 With > 50% efficiency. ⚡ In @AdvSciNews doi.org/10.1002/advs.2…

Great to be at #S24MRS to give an invited talk on our work understanding polymer energy harvesters. Has been a wonderful event with great discussions with new and old friends and collaborators. Thank you to the symposium organisers! @Materials_MRS @ResearchRMIT @AndrisSutka

Proud to serve as symposium organiser @Materials_MRS in Seattle. 😎
