While the dust may have settled and you may be sick of hearing about #lk99, it is worth highlighting the central irony of #lk99: a completely different "super" property masqueraded as a signature of superconductivity: superionicity. So, this is short thread about superionicity

It almost reads like science fiction: pulling CO₂ right out of the atmosphere to create new hydrocarbon fuel, eliminating the need for extraction and new carbon emissions. A @ChemistryUIUC team has discovered that lasers could make it a reality. scitechdaily.com/two-for-one…

Congratulations @progna_physics on the start of your research laboratory @LoyolaChicago. Excited for you and your new research group. Glad to have been a small part of your scientific journey.
Replying to @progna_physics
Shoutout to my PhD advisor @plasmon at the @UofIllinois who helped me transform from a physics student into a chemistry researcher. Many attributes that I will be carrying forward as a researcher & mentor, will be influenced by the formative years spent with his group.

Excited for group alumna @progna_physics who starts a tenure-track position and her new research group @LoyolaChicago. Congratulations and looking forward to many exciting things to come from the Banerjee Lab.
Replying to @progna_physics
I'm excited to start my impendent laboratory as a tenure-track professor at @LoyolaChicago this month! My "PBEnergyLab", will be working on designing batteries to be non-combustible, cost-effective, efficient: and built with elements sustainably sourced within the US.
