Had a great time visiting CNRS Orleans for @CEMHTICNRS @DeakinIfm student Dani Kourati's PhD thesis defence. Great job Dani! Who knew you were a fan of Birmingham football team Aston Villa!

[BAMNDT @bamndt]

Our colleagues from @unibirmingham @brittonMRI visit us today to discuss progress and further plans on multimodal imaging of Na-ion batteries. 💪 @EnergyMatBham

Congratulations to @brittonMRI group member Yasmeen Alzahrani on passing her viva today!🎉

[Anna Peacock @Peacock_Group]

PhD opportunity with myself and @brittonMRI on developing next generation MRI contrast agents https://t.co/ehbgrMI6NL

[Melanie M. Britton @brittonMRI]

Really nice paper on operando MRI of a thermo-electrochemical cell from @DeakinIfm group. https://t.co/gYyUm4TCFN

Congratulations on @brittonMRI group member @claire_codes_ on passing her PhD viva. 🎈🎉Fantastic work #battchat #nmr #Sodiumionbatteries📻🧲🔋

Really sad news about the passing of Ken Packer. He was a giant in the field of magnetic resonance. I am enormously grateful for the encouragement he gave me as a postdoc in @ChemistryUoN.

[Gabriele M. Cimmarusti @CimmarustiG]

I'm officially a Doctor! Viva passed!..and yes, I've defended my Thesis with a pairs of #havaianas on my feet😂 @unibirmingham #PhD #finallyOver #phdchat

Congratulations @claire_chem from @brittonMRI group for winning a prize for her talk at the @chembham #PGSymposiumBham for our work on 23Na MRI of sodium ion batteries with @titiricigroup @EnergyMatBham @SPMIC_UoN

[Melanie M. Britton @brittonMRI]

Fantastic talk by @claire_chem from @brittonMRI group on her work on 23Na MRI of sodium ion batteries during the chemistry@UoB #PGSymposiumBham

[RSLC - Chemistry@UoB @rslc_chem_bham]

The penultimate day of our PG symposium is about to start and we’re kicking it off today with talks from @claire_chem from @brittonMRI group, Thomas Wensley and Elisabetta Labella from @Group_RGupta, and @cgposteguillo from @Para_Bham group! Thanks to @ValeMolecola for chairing!

Just attended the online funeral for my PhD supervisor, Les Sutcliffe. Very sad but can rejoice in his full and long life. A superb researcher and patient teacher. I am enormously grateful for everything he taught me and the support and encouragement he gave me.

Great to see our paper on 23Na MRI of sodium in batteries has been selected on the Nature Communications Editors' Highlights page (https://t.co/zNmoQjKFhW)

[Melanie M. Britton @brittonMRI]

Am so excited about our recent Nature Communications paper visualising, in operando, sodium plating in sodium ion batteries, for the first time, by 23Na MRI (https://t.co/HUTmagfMni) with @EnergyMatBham @claire_chem @titiricigroup @SPMIC_UoN @Bosonator

[Joshua Bray @Bosonator]

Material for lithium-ion batteries is in limited supply. As we evaluate alternative tech, how do we "see inside" to improve safety and closer match performance of Li-ion devices? An exciting collaboration, and the best MRI work of my professional life. https://t.co/aWCSkiLg3k

@unibirmingham Remember helium is too important to be wasted in helium balloons!

[Uni of Birmingham @unibirmingham]

Today’s Periodic Table element is HELIUM. Senior Lecturer in Chemistry, Dr Melanie Britton, discusses how Helium is used in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to analyse chemical reactions. Now discover more about our research around the elements #yearoftheperiodictable
