🔋⚡️Join us Aug 13-15 in #Chicago & Virtually for @CEnertech ‘s #SolidStateBattery Summit for #SolidState and #SodiumBattery manufacturing: smartecocity.com/northamerica/u… @YingShirleyMeng #CET4SolidState #battsolid #SSB #battery #lithium #semiconductors #SmartEcoCity @smartecocity
It was a privilege for me to be on the panel moderated by @MichaelEWebber ! We talked about Nuclear, Geothermal, Battery, Energy Investments and Workforce - absolutely amazing time. With Jeff Navin @TerraPower, Avra van der Zee - Elemental Impact and Carl Hoiland -Zanskar.
In a session at @aspenideas Climate, our Energy Technologies Initiative's founding faculty director @YingShirleyMeng of @UChicagoPME discussed the most promising #EnergyTechnologies today—as well as the innovations that lie just over the horizon. Watch: climate.uchicago.edu/uchicago-at-as…
We’re excited to serve as the official academic thought partner for @aspen_climate in Chicago later this month! This year’s speakers include our Institute’s faculty leadership @DKeithClimate, @YingShirleyMeng and our Founding Director Michael Greenstone. climate.uchicago.edu/uchicago-at-as…
Making the invisible visible! #allsolidstate #battery is on its way. Non-destructive imaging methods help accelerate its development! @energystoragera @LESC_Public
🔍 Seeing inside solid-state batteries—without taking them apart A new ESRA study highlights how X-ray micro-computed tomography (sXCT) can reveal important battery features like cracks, porosity, and material breakdown in less than 30 min. Read: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
Reposting with correction: So here's the deal on the Senate-passed One Big Bad Bill, now heading back to the House for further debate: 1. Wind & solar projects that commence construction before the end of 2025 can claim the investment or production tax cuts under current law &…
Great sessions at the IAS Frontiers Workshop today. Prof. Meng Ying Shirley Prof. Rose Amal Prof. Zhao Dongyuan Prof. Qiao Shizhang
I have never used the word WTF on social media but I have to this time. Electrification is unstoppable and going against that is suicidal for USA's energy future. All Tech experts must speak out and stop the stupidity 😡
The energy provisions in the Republicans' One Big Horrible Bill are truly so bad! Who wants this? The country's automakers don't want it. Electric utilities don't want it. Data center developers don't want it. Manufacturers in energy intensive industries don't want it. It…
It’s my honor to guest-edit the 2025 summer issue of ECS Interface, which features the theme of “AI4Batteries”. The whole issue is open to download at: issuu.com/ecs1902/docs/i…?
#ICYMI: The Energy Transition Network, a coalition launched by our Energy Technologies Initiative to develop advanced battery technologies, is growing! Welcome to the new members: @EnsurgeBattery, UNIGRID Battery & South 8.
Solar + Battery is the best option , no doubt. Not sure why anyone will second guess this. The other Musks or Bezos or Gates need to speak up - we the tech folks are supposed to be rational and non-political.
American Energy Independence is critical to our national security. The new bill will drive solar and wind energy growth to zero. Zero. Where are we going to get our energy from to compete with China? We will need 25 new natural gas plants built per year to replace our…
You're looking at the future of #electrochemistry, the class of #NGenE2025. We conclude an intense week of discussions, networking and gelling of ideas. They're ready to reach and conquer the frontiers. We can't wait to see what they do next!
We're excited to be at @UMich in Ann Arbor for our inaugural Industry Workshop! A full day of interesting discussions on shared challenges in #energystorage and collaboration opportunities ahead!
A major milestone for my time at @UChicagoPME! First two PhDs. Dr. Jing Wang and Dr. Haozhe Zhang from @LESC_Public, receiving their degrees today.

🔋We are excited to announce our latest research on redox-active solid-state electrolytes, in collaboration with Kent J. Griffith’s group, published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…)! #batteries #electrolyte
I said this on April 18th, I will say this again. When the birds are gone, the bows are cast away; and when the hares are hunted, the hounds are slaughtered. 飞鸟尽,良弓藏,狡兔死,走狗烹 History always repeats itself and even the smartest ones sometimes can be used as pawns.
这张8964最著名的照片,只要不是一生都在中国防火墙内并且从未翻墙的人,应该都看到过。 但你知道这张照片背后的故事吗? 这张照片有一个名字,叫做“坦克人”。 跟很多人以为的不同,这张照片并不是拍摄于6月4日。 1989年6月5日,北京。空气中还弥漫着前一晚镇压留下的硝烟和血腥,街上满目疮痍。…
Energy Transition Network is adding new industry members! @EnsurgeBattery , Unigrid Battery and South 8 Technologies join @thermofisher, SES AI, and MTI Corporation. Network is part of our Energy Tech Initiative w/ @UChicagoPME More: bit.ly/4km4IoJ
