While the aim of science technically isn't to see how much of a grant you can spend without going over on the last day, I'm still feeling pretty cheery after hitting £0.18 under the limit. Built up a little stockpile of solvent-resistant syringes to hide in my office too #chemsky

Happy 10th birthday to my first paper - a simple way to dissolve individualised nanotubes by stirring in dimethylacetamide alongside sodium and naphthalene. Somehow it feels both a lifetime ago, and yesterday. #Chemsky

Is this 現實生活 ? Is this just fántǐ zì?

💥RSC CNN Paper of the Week💥 Toxicity of nanoplastics: machine learning combined with meta-analysis Chen* (Capital Medical University) Li, Nanoscale Horiz, 10.1039/D5NH00024F @nanoscale-journals.rsc.org #chemsky #nanosky

Just when organic chemists thought they have all the possible small molecules, N6 makes its appearance. By far, excellent read of this year #ChemSky www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Anyone who cares about nanoscience should know that registration for the @rsc-cnn.bsky.social Annual Symposium is open. Bargain of a conference (£120) in London's incredible Burlington House, with fantastic speakers including my old PhD boss Milo Shaffer from @imperialchemistry.bsky.social #chemsky

💥RSC CNN Paper of the Week💥 Connecting the nanoseed defect structure and crystallinity with resulting nanoparticle products Moreau* (Washington State University) Roy, Nanoscale Adv, 10.1039/D5NA00418G @nanoscale-journals.rsc.org #chemsky #nanosky

Why did Word have to make the painful process of grant writing even more excruciating by changing the keyboard shortcuts for subscript and superscript? Chemists everywhere are surely cursing as loudly as me. #chemsky

UCL's Andrea Sella to return his 2014 Michael Faraday prize to the Royal Society over its continued refusal to censure Elon Musk. Sella won the award as 'an exemplary science communicator' (in the words of the RS's spokesperson). Its return too is exemplary science communication.

Only 19 days left to apply for the UCL Inorganic Chemistry Lectureship (=Assist Prof). A great tenured job in a country not actively decimating its academic research landscape🇬🇧 Others have shared the advert, so instead let me introduce your amazing potential future colleages #Chemsky #chemjobs

Calling all inorganic (bio)chemists - come be my colleague at the fantastic @uclchemistry.bsky.social !!! (Lecturer = Assistant Professor) London is such an incredible city to work in ❤️ Anyone in the US looking for a new job abroad... 👀 #chemsky 🧪

💥RSC CNN Paper of the Week💥 Promoting the signal reliability of non-invasive biosensors via a N-doped graphene quantum dot modified Prussian blue analogue protective layer for glucose monitoring Yeh* (NTUST) Chiu, J Mater Chem B, 10.1039/D5TB00497G @jmaterchem.rsc.org #chemsky #nanosky

Come and join us. Lecturer position available in Inorganic and Materials Chemistry at @uclchemistry.bsky.social in London, open to experimental, theoretical, computational, & digital inorganic and materials chemists with big ideas. Please share ! Deadline 24-June www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

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.

All of NIH funding to Northwestern University is frozen. This pause includes noncompeting approved funding, new and competing grants with fundable scores. No reimbursements for money already spent have been received since March. This situation is rarely reported so please Please get the word out!

I you (a) like really fancy AFM, (b) like 2D nanomaterials, and/or (c) need a PDRA job in the near future, then boy do I have good news for you. Advert is now open for an 18 month PDRA position in my group in UCL, London. Closing date 20th May, informal email inquiries encouraged #chemsky #nanosky

Spot the @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social Research Fellow hiding in the audience of the Royal Institution (hint: it is @camilladimino.bsky.social aka the one dressed as a banana). @ri-science.bsky.social #chemsky

I found Prof Andrea Sella hiding at the back of the @ri-science.bsky.social dressed like a banana. What a perfectly normal Sunday night we are having

5 beamtime experiments and many Ridgeway breakfasts later, the cycle is finally over. Kudos to the engineers who kept the @isisneutronmuon.bsky.social beam so stable the whole time!

Super proud that Mirka won the Best Poster prize at the UK Neutron & Muon Science User Meeting! Now if only her lazy supervisor would sort himself out and return her draft paper, she might be able to publish her award winning work...

Tiny ribbons of crystalline phosphorus discovered by a UCL team have magnetic and semiconducting properties at room temperature, opening new possibilities for next-generation electronics: study involving Prof Chris Howard, Dr @clancylab.bsky.social @uclmaps.bsky.social & @uclengineering.bsky.social

While I'm wary of being one of those people who only posts when they get a paper, I'm going to give myself this one because it's a bloomin Nature Nano! Just look how pretty the graphs are! (The science is quite good too if you like charged interfaces) #nanosky #chemsky

We are finally online. We pushed neutron total scattering to look at interfaces in an unprecedented level of detail. Thank you to dream team that made this possible. I could not be more proud to be part of it. www.nature.com/articles/s41... @naturenano.bsky.social @ucl.ac.uk #chemsky

You either die a hero or live long enough to be one of those people who steals glassware from the adjacent lab because you could have sworn you had the right adapted but it's 5.30 on a Friday and now you just want to go home #chemsky

Are you a PhD or postdoc working in Nanoscience and want to come to a free (FREE!) RSC conference? Come and discuss your work in London on 9th-10th April. There's only a month left to submit your abstract (and 2 left to register) www.rsc.org/events/detai... #nanosky #chemsky
