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.

An honor to be recognized by the Campus Teaching Excellence Award from @UofIllinois Provost. Immensely grateful to the students who wrote letters & @LASillinois @ChemistryUIUC for nominating. I've had a ball teaching (and learning) Thermodynamics/StatMech for over a decade.
