Recent research published in the @J_A_C_S (doi.org/10.1021/jacs...) by the Ashbrook and Morris groups has used in situ solid-state NMR spectroscopy and in situ X-ray diffraction to study the mechanism of non-traditional zeolite synthesis.

Research from the Ashbrook and Morris groups (Exploiting in situ NMR spectroscopy to understand non-traditional methods for zeolite synthesis), has been selected for the RSC 2025 most popular analytical chemistry articles collection. More details: doi.org/10.1039/D4SC...

@standrewschem.bsky.social hosted a panel event for the RSC IUPAC Global Women’s Breakfast 2026, organised and chaired by final-year student Katie. Prof Sharon Ashbrook, Dr Alex Gibbs & Dr Amy Price shared their journeys and research. A packed, inspiring celebration of women in science.
