Excited to share my work done at MIT Electrochemical Energy Laboratory RLE at MIT on the energetics of cations across interfaces in Lithium-ion batteries.! Shout out to the entire team of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and NASA scientists for making this work possible! Hot off the press at The Journal of Physical Chemistry C. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

📢📢 Switchback DNA is a globally left-handed double helical motif formed by 2 parallel DNA strands. Our new work in Nature Communications presents its unique biophysical, biochemical & immunogenic properties & hypothesizes its occurrence in short tandem repeats. 🔗bit.ly/3WyIncU
