Could the sodium ion technology be used in the same way?
Does it open up more uses?
Are there more places and industries where we could use this technology?
And so then for us in the South African context where we know energy is one of our big challenges and we do have, you know, we speak of an energy mix where we try to use different sources of energy.
Could this technology also be applicable in our energy mix in assisting us with some of our energy challenges in the country?
So how would we use them?
solar panels can be used.
And so you were recently acknowledged at the seventh L'Oreal UNESCO for Women in Science Awards.
Tell us about what this recognition has meant for you.
Yeah.
And I mean, growing up in, you know, growing up in just near Tsanin, what did you imagine you would do when you were older?
Was it always science for you?
Did you always know you wanted to go into the space?
Or did you have other, I guess, plans or dreams of a different career?
And of course, you know, your achievement as well isn't just like you were saying, it's not just a personal achievement, but I think it also is a great, I guess, recognition of the work that's been done in South Africa, in the science space, in the STEM space, in innovation, you know, us being able to send, you know, really valuable,
smart people like yourself to a platform like the 7th Laurel UNESCO for Women in Science Awards.
That's also, it feels like it's also a really great story for what we are doing here in the country at our universities, for instance.
And so where is your research now?
Are you still in the, I guess you're still kind of researching it, the testing phase, you haven't kind of deployed the technology yet?
Where is your research?
