PD Alert! 📢 We're hiring a 2-yr fully funded postdoc in automated MOF synthesis at DTU in Copenhagen! 🇩🇰 You'll help build our new lab and join a fun, collaborative team of chemists, engineers & physicists. #chemsky Apply here 👉https://shorturl.at/qqCKt

Dear #MOF #COF community, please consider interacting with the posters you see under the hashtag #MOFSchool2025 🙏🏻 These scholars are looking forward to connecting and discussing with you and you can make an important difference for their experience as remote attendees! #PorMatSky

Due to some unforeseen consequences, we have an immediate opening for a 2-year PD position on the automation of MOF thin-film synthesis at Technical University of Denmark. There will be an official opening soon, but anyone who is interested an reach out to me directly already now. #chemsky

Sadly, Journal accounts have flooded #chemsky, likely causing the noticeable drop in human posts. Please try consciously to keep this place alive by muting all the paper bots and re-engage with the scientist's posts here. It would be a pity if chemsky was lost.

Our group currently collaborates over Teams, which is ok but not great. Are there any, prefferably open source, alternatives? We need chat, files sharing (>200 gb), notes (OneNote similar). Possibility to co-write/collaborate on docs would be great (which Teams suck for when someone is on Linux...)

Large-scale synthesis of explosive compounds? Reactions in acetone at 60 °C higher than the boiling temperature of acetone? Reflux at temperatures lower than the boiling point of the solvent? This paper has it all! Check out the new preprint by @arbitraryeffect.bsky.social and myself! #ChemSky

common knowledge among chemists: compressed gas cylinders basically last forever. some date back to WW2. those used in Nazi Germany (Linde) were marked with swastikas. after the war, the swastikas were defaced into "windowpanes" ⊞ — you can still find such cylinders in the wild today. #chemsky ⚗️🧪

We're looking for a mechanical engineer or similar to work on a project on MOF - device integration for chemical sensing. So, if you are or know someone with hardware knowledge and fascination of porous materials, please share or reach out. :) See: efzu.fa.em2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

My dream of going to MOF2026 in New Orleans is slowly shattering....

Completely condemn the highly disappointing decision by @acs.org to take down and then amend their pages on Diversity, equity, and inclusion - www.acs.org/about/divers... - this is not what #RealTimeChem stands for.

Anyone who ever had a student do something with AI knows that we are lightyears from being replaced.

What's the logic between login on to Outlook mobile requiring using Outlook mobile to generate a single use code which has to be verified by Outlook to approve the login. I think there is a fallacy somewhere hidden in there.

The past days we watched 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' on TV (great show, highly recommend). And my wife looked up the soundtrack afterwards to ID the Slim Dusty song played throughout. I want to believe this is the year that she will embrace country music after more than 10 years of firm opposition.

It's just a temporary space. But in six months or so it will be remodelled and our first reactions will be cooking. 😎 #chemsky

Roughly 6,000 readers answered our poll, with many declaring that Bluesky was nicer, kinder and less antagonistic to science than X https://go.nature.com/42tH8Ai

I really hope all scientists and people living in a fact-based reality who still voted Trump realize what they have done.

Stefania Grecea at Uni. Of Amsterdam is looking for a PhD in MOFs for H2 purification. Really nice PI and great scientist. More info at werkenbij.uva.nl/en/vacancies... #chemsky

Yep. We have been out of contract with Elsevier at MIT for 4.5 years now, at substantial savings to the Institute. Happy to share our experience with any library interested in following suit.

Sad to hear about Lynch. When it comes to visual enretainment, him and Haneke has had the biggest impact on me. Twin Peaks, Wild at Heart, Lost Highway. Every rewatch brings something new. 😥

Emotional day as Jaskaran, our groups first PhD, is defending today. It's been a great trip and we would not be where we are today without his contribution. Big thanks to Klaus Koren (Aarhus Uni.), Stefania Grecea (Uni. Amsterdam) & Ali Efthekari (DTU) for serving on the committee. #chemsky

Do you know a UK-based wheelchair user who works in a lab and would be willing to user-test our prototype of what is believed to be the first-ever lab coat adapted for wheelchair users? Please share far & wide! Interest form: forms.office.com/e/66FhcQjqRT More info: www.ucl.ac.uk/ucl-east/new...

Still 1 week left to apply for a postdoc position in computational design of disordered crystalline materials in my group at Aalborg University, Denmark! See more in the link below #compchem #chemsky

Mileage may wary, but in my experience, writing a 300 word summary of your new publication is probably the least time-intensive part of doing research. 💀

Our group has gone through a lot of changes this year, which has been both challenging and rewarding. Last week we got a 6.2 MDKK grant from EUDP to support our work on MOF sensors. Today Bruker delivered an early Xmas gift. Very thankful to all the PhDs, PDs and students who made all this possible.

A classic editorial by Prashant Kamat @kamat.bsky.social that was partial inspiration for the quoted thread below: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.... #ChemSky #Physics 🧪

In our latest preprint we show how MOF thin films coupled to QCM to selectively extract dissolved methane in water. The sensor has both rapid response rate and selectivity, with a strong performance advantage compared to starte of art marine sensors. Read more: 10.26434/chemrxiv-2024-x62zz

Trying to activate my presence again. So why not start with good news. Humbled and honored to recieve 410K EUR from the Independent research Council to continue our work on MOF-based env. sensors. Would not be possible without our excellent team of PhDs/postdocs: dff.dk/en/current-n... #chemsky

We have a 9 months RA/PD (MSc or PhD) position on synth.+char. of MOFs. I know duration is crap, but facilities good and team great. So if you're a chemist & want a short term adventure in Copenhagen, reach out. Need to be able to start in April.

Guinness won't call anytime soon, but I couldn't be happier. Extremely proud of our Ph.D. researcher Per who was gifted a very challenging project, swore and yelled a lot but never gave up. 🎉🔥🧨

Hey Chemsky: the first issue of Nature Chemical Engineering is live! I've been involved in 3 journal launches, but this is the first as Editorial Director. The Chief Ed (Tom Dursch) and team have done an amazing job. The first issue is free to read. Check it out here: www.nature.com/natchemeng/v...

Last week welcomed Clara as part-time research assistant. Clara studies autonomous systems at DTU & will help us with sensor prototyping and hardware design. ✌️

Please share - our team is recruiting for a fully funded PhD position (Oct 2024 start, home fees only) on the use of electron crystallography to examine a range of properties in MOFs, from flexibility to guest binding (including crystal sponge work). Advert to come. Email me!

New year. New job. New office on new campus, same university. New adventure. Excited but scared shitless. ✌️

Proud supervisor moment seeing Khoa defend his PhD thesis today. 🍾🎉 It's been a wild ride. Man må tag' det gode med det onde. 💀 Thanks to Ralf Zimmerman and Jan H. Christensen for the mass spec tour de force & great discussion.

Hi #ChemSky! I am looking for a collaborator with a ball mill. The goal is to do a replication study of this (crazy) paper and take it down for good: pubpeer.com/publications... My group will provide all reagents, and we can do all the characterization, including electron diffraction and Raman.

From the x-rated site: SAVE THE DATE: this year's RSC Solid State Group Christmas meeting will be held on the 18-19th December, in Edinburgh. More details coming soon. #ChemSky #CompChem

Waking up by your own snoring, 19 o clock, on a Friday night is peak 40s. 🥱

Hey #ScientificPublishing , got something for ya (tagging for feed)

Team getting ready for lift off to Granada and #EuroMOF2023 🎉🍾💥 We have two posters (post numbers later) so come and chat with us. 8) #chemsky

Looking for a collaborator to help us obtain a few Raman spectra. We will include you in two upcoming JACS submissions! Your spectrometer must have a 405, 488, or 532 nm laser (or all 3). Please reply here or email vor2 [at] case if interested. Reposting will be greatly appreciated! #ChemSky
