Radical pairing: an enabling platform for practical metal-free grid scale energy storage To achieve Net Zero by 2050, the power sector will need to be decarbonised fully over the next decade. This is critical not just as a direct means of reducing emissions, but of ensuring a smooth transition in other related sectors including heavy industry, heating, and chemical production. To ...
In this talk, Fletcher will discuss how energy flexibility can help reduce Scope 2 emissions of wastewater treatment facilities. Using a facility from the Bay Area as a case study, he investigates three load shifting mechanisms: a raw wastewater storage tank, a low-pressure biogas holder, and a Li-ion battery. Simulating ...
The development of tandem mass spectrometers equipped with collision cells has enabled online interference removal for ICP-MS, with special attention paid to beta decay systems used for geochronology (e.g., Rb-Sr, Lu-Hf). Looking toward the future, novel applications of LA-MC-ICP-MS/MS will expand many fields that utilize high precision isotope geochemistry, including ...

Bill Gates and Partick Collison, In Conversation - LivestreamJoin us for an extraordinary CHM Live event as we welcome Bill Gates to discuss his deeply personal new memoir, Source Code, in conversation with Patrick Collison, cofounder and CEO of Stripe.The business triumphs of Bill Gates are widely known: the twenty-year-old who dropped out of Harvard to start a ...
The detection of high energy astrophysical neutrinos is an important step toward understanding the most energetic cosmic accelerators. IceCube, an observatory at the South Pole, has observed the first astrophysical neutrinos and identified potential sources. However, the best sensitivity at the highest energies comes from detectors that look for coherent radio Cherenkov emission from neutrino ...
The Internet of Things (IoT) is envisioned to open up exciting new opportunities to gather and use data - from insights about our environment and food supply, to monitoring our health, and beyond. However, most current IoT deployments are rather uninspiring: nobody cares about a new smart toaster, for example. ...

Peru has the second highest bird diversity of all countries on the globe, with 1877 species of bird reported there. The topography of Peru is very complex, resulting in a delightful variety of habitats and bird species. Jenn will cover birding in the Peruvian jungle and mountain highlands, an area ...
