How could you not love #crystallography? An approximation of the incommensurate structure of Y⅓TaO₃ #ChemSky arxiv.org/pdf/2511.01241

I’m excited to join the IUCr Early Career Board for Acta Cryst. A, J. Appl. Cryst., and J. Synchrotron Rad. 💎🌐 Looking forward to learning from and contributing to the crystallography community through meaningful scientific exchange! #IUCr #EarlyCareerBoard 🔗 journals.iucr.org/s/services/e...

Honored that our paper “Up–down approach for expanding the chemical space of MOFs” is featured in Nature Portfolio’s Collection celebrating the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry🏵🎊 Excited to see how MOF chemistry continues to evolve, and honored to be part of its journey✨ www.nature.com/collections/...

My fellow #FourierTransform enthusiasts, here's a new entry in my collection ready for you, nr. 56! The real-space picture is an intersection of two tilings of squares, one tilted by 43°. Moiré pattern? Definitely related 💯 As always, you can find the high-res pair at behance.net/specialdefects

We interrupt our regular programming to announce…

BREAKING: The Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi “for the development of metal-organic frameworks” Stay tuned for more. #NobelPrize
