Hello!
I'm Marco.
I'm a high school student interested in the physics of materials, especially those behind next-gen energy.
I like tracing a piece of technology back to the material that limits it, whether that's the battery in my phone or the wall of a fusion reactor. Outside of physics, I build apps and play badminton and tennis.
Things I'm working on
Term: School Timetable →
Now in my final year of school, I know the problems students run into with their timetables and what a good one should look like. So I built it: everything a student needs, in an app that's simple and pleasant to use.
Silicon-Anode Batteries →
Silicon anodes could hold about ten times the charge of graphite, but silicon swells to several times its volume on every charge and breaks apart. My EPQ compared three ways of engineering around this and found no single best one: how much silicon a battery should use depends on what it is for.
