Registration and abstract submission for the Alpine Conference on Magnetic Resonance in Solids 2025 are now open! The conference will take place in Chamonix Mont-Blanc, France, on 14-18 September 2025 @alpineconferen1 alpine-conference.org #NMRevents #NMRchat #NMR 🧲
Truly honored to receive “The Shimon Vega Young Scientist Travel Award” and present my work on Polyradical Overhauser DNP at EUROMAR. Grateful to @euromar2025 for the recognition. Oulu’s “no-darkness” charm, inspiring talks, and great company made it an unforgettable experience.
🎉 Congratulations to our PhD student Feyza for winning the Poster Prize for “Investigating Tetragonal Tungsten Bronze Structures for Na⁺ Battery Applications” at the International Conference on Sustainable Chemistry for Net Zero 2025 in St Andrews! 🏆🌍 Well done, Feyza! 👏

Excellent work by Astrid H. Berge, demonstrating the clever application of ssNMR and DNP, exploiting both endogenous and exogenous dopants for detection of specific impurities or the separation of bulk versus surface/subsurface phases in Al-LLZO. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10… #NMRchat
Fantastic lecture by Prof. Dame ClareGrey @Cambridge_Uni on understanding battery function at International Conference on Sustainable Chemistry for Net Zero (ICSCNZ). A wonderful start of day two! @CHEMScot @amitStA1 @StAndrewsChem
A new paper, 'Transferability of Data Sets between Machine-Learned Interatomic Potential Algorithms' led by Dr. Sam Niblett is now available in J. Chemical Theory and Computation. Huge congratulations to Sam and all the collaborators! 👏👏pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…
PDRA position available to work on lithium-ion battery electrolytes as part of the @FiDegradation supervised jointly by Prof. Dame Clare Grey and Prof. Dominic Wright at @ChemCambridge jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/51224/
Professor Dame Clare Grey @GreyGroupCam @ChemCambridge is awarded the 2025 ISMAR prize supported by @cilmkt #ENCISMAR2025 for her pioneering applications of solid-state NMR to materials relevant to energy ismar.org/prizes_ismar-p… #NMRnews #NMRchat #NMR 🧲
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.
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 🎉🎊🥳

After day1 of super exciting talks by eminent speakers, looking forward for the day2. It was a delight to hear impact Clare has made on everyone’s life at professional/personal level. Celebrating her accomplishments and contribution by sharing 1 thing she likes most ‘science’. 🎉



Did you know there have been 6.5m papers on #energy storage.... Shirley Meng: @energystoragera Research Alliance Today as a part of CLARE GREAT SYMPOSIUM CORRELATING STRUCTURE & FUNCTION IN ENERGY MATERIALS Celebrating 🎉 @GreyGroupCam #material #research
We are all set for 2 day ‘Clare Grey Symposium’. Looking forward to meet all the friends and alumni of the group 🎊

My first lead author paper is now live @ChemMater! We solve the structure of the first desodiated phase in NaxNiO2 (x=2/3) via X-ray and neutron diffraction, solid state NMR, and DFT/AIMD. Ni charge- and Na vacancy-ordering play an important role! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
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 🥼🧪🔋
Interested in #BatteryInnovation ? PhD studentship available at @Cambridge_Uni with @GreyGroupCam and myself funded by @AlistoreE in collaboration with Arnaud Demortière at #LRCS and @Eayerbe1 at @CIDETEC_ Apply here: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/50602/ !!
Happy 60th birthday to Clare🎉🎊🥳 we wish you best of health and all the success of this world !!!




Our latest experiment was the cat's μ! We just wrapped up in-/ex-situ μ-SR on EMU @isisneutronmuon ! We're looking into sodium dynamics in the phases which form when NaNiO2 is electrochemically cycled, and could even measure whilst dis/charging thanks to the BAM cell!
