Exciting new work from Luhan Ye and Xin Li Harvard University Harvard SEAS on a lithium metal solid-state battery that can be recharged >10,000x at a high current density (82% capacity retention after 10,000 cycles at 20C charge rate!). 111 kW/kg👏 nature.com/articles/s4158… H/t Stuart Schreiber

The epsilon variant of #SARSCoV2, first detected California, carries three spike protein mutations that confer resistance to neutralizing antibodies generated by mRNA vaccines or by #SARSCoV2 infection, according to new research in Science. fcld.ly/luev9bg

MU IS FOR MARSUPIALS! In addition to alpha-beta & gamma-delta #Tcells, #marsupials have a 3rd type of #Tcell: gamma-mu T cells! Their role & ligands are unknown, but the gamma-mu #TCR #structure suggests a new source of #nanobodies!🦘 #immunologymatters science.org/doi/full/10.11…

The scariest of pumpkins for our lab nightmares display… the -80 freezer meltdown 🎃

This is making me nervous.

Rocket: fueled ✅ Webb’s launch vehicle, an Ariane 5 rocket, is all fueled up. Launch is still scheduled for no earlier than 7:20 am ET (12:20 UTC). Read more: go.nasa.gov/3epvPPy

Due to the precision of our launch and our first two mid-course corrections, our team has determined that Webb should have enough fuel to allow support of science operations for significantly more than a 10-year science lifetime! 💫 blogs.nasa.gov/webb/2021/12/2…

Finally, an in-person conference since the pandemic started! #AAI2022 #Immunology2022

Wow. The gravitational lensing is incredible. nasa.gov/image-feature/…

IMPACT SUCCESS! Watch from #DARTMIssion’s DRACO Camera, as the vending machine-sized spacecraft successfully collides with asteroid Dimorphos, which is the size of a football stadium and poses no threat to Earth.

Haven't felt so excited in a while.

Just shared at Keystone Symposia a new @ArcInstitute discovery of the bridge RNA recombinase mechanism: a new class of natural RNA-guided systems that retains the key property of programmability from RNAi and CRISPR while enabling large-scale genome design beyond RNA and DNA cuts

That was one of the most amazing things I've watched on many different levels.
