Crystallography done by ALS' Simon Teat!
Element 97, first discovered at Berkeley Lab in 1949, remains a rare mystery in the periodic table. Now, researchers have trapped it between two carbon rings, opening new possibilities for studying this elusive synthetic element. ?? Details via Chemistry World ??

By directly visualizing the uneven insertion of lithium ions into electrodes with well-defined crystal orientations, researchers learned why fast charging decreases battery lifespan and performance. The work could provide insights into better battery utilization and help investigations of the surface insertion reaction during fast charging. https://lnkd.in/gh2GikVV

By encapsulating actinium atoms within a macromolecular complex for analysis using protein crystallography, researchers discovered that actinium has a unique solid-state bonding configuration. A better understanding of actinium behavior could help improve a promising cancer treatment known as targeted alpha therapy. https://lnkd.in/gDff96Bk
