[{"content":"This is where I keep my writing. Some of it is research notes (electrochemistry, batteries, methodology); some of it is hobby and side-project pieces. There\u0026rsquo;s no schedule.\nStart here # A short, hand-curated reading list — the posts I\u0026rsquo;d point a first-time visitor at.\nWelcome to my research notebook — what I write about and why. (I\u0026rsquo;ll keep this list short on purpose. New posts only get added once I think they belong here.)\nBrowse by topic # Tags group every article. The most useful starting points:\nmethodology — how-I-do-X notes. batteries — anything battery-related. impedance — EIS, DRT, related techniques. paper-notes — summaries and critiques of papers I\u0026rsquo;ve read carefully. tools — opinions on instruments, libraries, and workflows. The full tag index is at /tags/.\nEverything, by date # The chronological list of every article is below.\n","date":"April 22, 2026","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/articles/","section":"Articles","summary":"","title":"Articles","type":"articles"},{"content":"","date":"April 22, 2026","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/","section":"Federico Scarpioni","summary":"","title":"Federico Scarpioni","type":"page"},{"content":"Every blog needs a first post that isn\u0026rsquo;t trying too hard. This is that.\nI\u0026rsquo;ll be writing here whenever I have something worth writing down, mostly research notes around battery impedance and adjacent topics, occasionally side-project stuff. Short and often beats long and never; if I catch myself drafting something for a week, I\u0026rsquo;ll push it out imperfect and edit in place afterwards.\n","date":"April 22, 2026","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/articles/hello-world/","section":"Articles","summary":"Kickoff post — short, low-stakes, just to break the seal.","title":"Hello, world","type":"articles"},{"content":"","date":"April 22, 2026","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/tags/meta/","section":"Tags","summary":"","title":"Meta","type":"tags"},{"content":"","date":"April 22, 2026","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/tags/","section":"Tags","summary":"","title":"Tags","type":"tags"},{"content":"This is the first article on the site, so it\u0026rsquo;s a decent place to explain what I plan to use it for.\nWhy write notes in public # Most of what I do at the bench and on the keyboard ends up in a private notebook. That notebook is great for me, but it has two failure modes: the entries I never come back to (because they were half-formed and only made sense for a week), and the entries other people could have benefited from but never saw.\nWriting for a public audience — even a small one — forces a minimum level of clarity. It also creates a search-indexable trail of what I\u0026rsquo;ve already figured out, which is useful when I inevitably re-derive something six months later.\nWhat belongs here # Roughly four flavours of post:\nMethodology notes. Why I do X this way, what the alternatives were, what I\u0026rsquo;d change next time. Think \u0026ldquo;things I\u0026rsquo;d say in a whiteboard session with a new lab-mate.\u0026rdquo; Paper summaries. A one-page distillation of a paper I\u0026rsquo;ve read carefully — claim, method, weak spots. Experiment write-ups. What I measured, why, what the result was, and what I got wrong the first time. Side projects and hobby pieces. Less formal — books, things I\u0026rsquo;m learning, the occasional rant. There\u0026rsquo;s no separate \u0026ldquo;professional\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;personal\u0026rdquo; section; tags do the sorting. If you want only research-style notes, look at methodology and paper-notes.\nNavigating # The Articles index has a curated reading list and a topic browser.
