This soft, stretchy material is actually a battery.

Researchers from @ChemCambridge took their inspiration from electric eels to build these 'jelly batteries' - which could one day be used in the brain to treat conditions like epilepsy.

Stretch your imagination and your battery! This blue jelly is actually a hydrogel battery🔋Stephen O'Neill from the @OScherman
group tests its limits.

Brilliant and super exciting work by Stevie (@SJKONeill) - a superstar PhD student! 🌟 A lot of hard work and dedication paying off in the best way - it is a pleasure to be a part of your journey 🧪 🔋 🍀 #jellybattery #science #schermangroup #cambridge

[Stephen O’Neill @SJKONeill]

Excited to share the latest work from my PhD, where we develop a stretchable hydrogel power source. Now online in #ScienceAdvances

Anyone had a problem with outlook where it resends emails from months ago? Currently my outlook is resending all my emails from 6 months ago. I’m behind but I’m not that behind… #emailfail

I caved and ordered a holiday drink. As The Grinch (in human form) it’s an embarrassing lapse of judgement but the gingerbread latte gets me everytime…

Mine is labelling everything and having a specific place for absolutely every item in separate containers within containers within containers...I know-very weird.
Or...remembering everything including what people said in a conversation years ago...hard to choose just one really..

[Dr Jade A. McCune @jadeamccune]

cool things we do:
💧gels that can be run over by a car 🚗

🕷fibres that mimic spider silk🕸

🌈 dyes that allow us to see molecular events🔬

🧪 colloidal assemblies to see reactions in real time⏱

🕵🏼‍♀️ sensing & detection in urine 🚽

🧠 gels to deliver chemo to the brain💊

@alastairbaker1 @willreynolds87 @dwb_9 @AnnaGSlater Hi @alastairbaker1 scary numbers indeed...
Can I ask where you got these numbers from? We haven't seen increases this high (yet) but just wondering if/when they are coming...

[Dr Jade A. McCune @jadeamccune]

To this day I still can’t accept something the first time it’s offered… #irishguilt

[Killian Sundermann @killersundymann]

Irish and German people offering things

Some lovely work headed up by @ZehuanH and Xiaoyi is now out! Quantitative peptide heterodimerisation - yes please! Well done dream team ✨🧪 @OScherman @ChemCambridge

Professors Shankar Balasubramanian and David Klenerman have been awarded the 2022 Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences – the world’s largest science prize – for the development of next-generation #DNA sequencing.

It all started in a #Cambridge pub! 🍻 2/4

@aprahamian @NatureNano @kamsokolowski @OScherman @Raman_NanoT Thanks @aprahamian, hope you’re well!

[Dr Jade A. McCune @jadeamccune]

Great to see this finally come out in @NatureNano 🌟 We made stable photoactive nanoparticle aggregates for real time tracking of chemical reactions allowing us to see an elusive sigma dimer species. Congratulations @kamsokolowski and @OScherman! Funded in part by @Raman_NanoT

A nano camera held together with 'molecular glue' allows scientists to observe chemical reactions in real time: https://t.co/4nyuHulxB4

Very excited that this is finally out!! 🥳Go read if you fancy finding out how to stabilise reactive radicals in air! 👍🏼

[Cambridge Chemistry @ChemCambridge]

Congratulations to @jadeamccune , @ReisnerLab and the Scherman Group for their research published in Chem https://t.co/4lEcBkifKK which describes a new area of chemistry to tame reactive radical species in air.
