Congratulations to Prof. Lior Sepunaru and graduate student Brian Roehrich, on their publication in ACS Measurement Science Au. In this paper, they introduced a groundbreaking method- A Fast Fourier Transform electrochemical impedance measurement over a single pseudo-capacitor. These measurements allow the identification of features at the nanoscale that give desirable properties and ultimately create better materials as a key component in fast-charging batteries. The paper will appear as the front cover, a testament to their recognition as part of the 'Rising Stars in Measurement Science.'
