🌿 Next GEMS session – Nov 19, 4:30pm CET! Hear from Luis Huerta Hernandez (KAUST) & Kai Brinkmann (BUW) on ionic transport + crystallization in perovskites ⚡ 🔗Join us → syddanskuni.zoom.us/webinar/regi... #Perovskites #SolarCells #GEMS

Updating my LEGO White House

🤨No & No again! 👉 "Stale Citations" are an integral part of science: to give credit to crucial works of the past, avoiding 'reinventions', being a plague in research, e.g. in #chemsky #pisky Your biased AI Tool to keep "research fresh" is a tombstone of science. Spooky indeed 😱 #researchintegrity

Best drift-diffusion solver out there, for optoelectronic devices and much more! Try it, it is free to use!

👉Journal Impact Nonsense: Here's the result of years of systematic JIF gaming by Publishers, Editors & Authors (...and Paper Mills & Citation Cartels) in #Chemsky, #CompChemSky ...proudly presented by www.chemistryworld.com/news/what-ar... advocating for Quality vs. Quantity = #researchintegrity

Watch our latest video on youtube: Research Data Management: Cargo Cult or Indispensible Prerequisite for Scholarship? by Dr. habil. Till Biskup The video was recorded at our monthly regulars table "The Stammtisch". https://youtu.be/E6TNs5QaPT4

Really looking forward to having Shuxia visit us for the physics colloquium this week. It's always great to hear more about the theory approach to understanding the often surprising behaviour of halide #perovskites.

If you're an expert in organic molecules, thin film fabrication and/or optics and are looking to bring cutting-edge technology to the market - Please apply and join our team at the Humboldt Centre for Nano- and Biophotonics! jobportal.uni-koeln.de/bewerben/2186

Amazing differences within the EU. Via prof. Marco te Brömmelstroet on LinkedIn. NB: 2019 data.

Are you interested in pursuing postdoctoral research on solution-processed semiconductors/optoelectronics via the Marie Skłodowska-Curie or Humboldt Research Fellowship frameworks?

It does! And for all those that don't want to read the articles, we have the video of Maria's talk uploaded to our YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ongu...

Still time to apply, but please note the ⌛⌛⌛Deadline is 23 April ⌛⌛⌛- not May!

A recent perspective taking a closer look at the transport resistance in OPV and strategies to minimize these charge collection losses in future solar cells has just appeared online: advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

French researcher, going to a conference in Houston, was forbidden entry to US; his work and personal electronics were both confiscated. Why? Because a “random search” of his cell phone revealed a negative personal opinion on Trump and the Trump administration. www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

A device simulation on a professional level that can be used for free. Try it and I think you will be amazed by what it can do. Strongly recommended!

An excellent supervisor at a very good place to work @tucphys.bsky.social

Missed Maria Saladina’s deep dive into JV curves & organic solar cells? Now’s the perfect time to catch up! 📺 Her talk is packed with insights—great prep for today's @gem-series.bsky.social PhD-Postdoc series with Robin, also on #OPV! Don't miss out! 🔬⚡ 🔗 youtu.be/onguLWXI3MM?...

March is here and we have two more speakers for you in the GEMS series @gem-series.bsky.social

Stand with UKRAINE! #standWithUkraine

Wie gut waren frühere Klimaprojektionen? Zeit für den jährlichen Vergleich von NASA-Forscher Gavin Schmidt: www.realclimate.org/index.php/ar... ▶️ Die Erderwärmung ist etwas geringer als im mittleren roten Szenario von Hansen 1988. ▶️ Sie folgt ziemlich genau den #IPCC-Projektionen ab dem Jahr 2000.

Maria's paper "Transport resistance strikes back" is now published: https://doi.org/n687 – very nice, and a professional experience @ioppublishing.bsky.social! To celebrate, I wrote a short blog post on transport resistance, which limits the fill factor in organic solar cells https://wp.me/pbZgX-d0

I wonder: Are the people of the proud democracy and great science nation USA just going to sit back and watch as it is dismantled by a bunch of rampant billionaires? www.wired.com/story/noaa-e...

February programme

If you are interested in coming to Germany for research or to study here, the website www.research-in-germany.org/en is a great starting point. It has information about funding programs and requirements for each career stage from student to academic researcher. 🧪

Another topic: We are looking for a postdoctoral candidate to study and understand non-geminate recombination in OPV on the basis of a newly developed 5 level model. A strong background in device physics is highly appreciated. If interested, contact me directly via [email protected]

Beautiful double rainbow from the Institute of Physics in Chemnitz @tucphys.bsky.social #cometoChemnitz

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Interesting account from @jeremymberg.bsky.social who was at the helm of one of the most important journals and journal families in the world.

Great initiative for people interested in materials for energy applications and the next generation of researchers working on them! Join the community organised by our colleague @skahmn.bsky.social and collaborators from @sdu.dk & @uppsalauniversitet.bsky.social

Proud to announce that the NGSE PhD-Postdoc series is coming back under a new name #GEMS! With a brand new website, go check it out! 🔗https://greenenergymaterials-series.com @vmlc.bsky.social @skahmn.bsky.social @sdu.dk @tucphys.bsky.social @uppsalauniversitet.bsky.social

Physics at night @tucphys.bsky.social

Researchers spend approximately 45% of their time on administrative activities related to #grants rather than actual #research. The current #competition in research #funding has significant drawbacks; evidence-based improvements of the funding system are required: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

The Xmas market in Chemnitz is atmospheric and very beautiful (My shot is not, but just to give you the impression:) #cometochemnitz @tucphys.bsky.social#cometochemnitz

Scientific Xmas :-) #tucCHEMnitz @tucphys.bsky.social

Our DFG research unit P☀PULAR also celebrates Xmas → Thanks to Jacob Müller for designing the logo, and Martin Dehnert for 3d-printing it! popular-printed-photovoltaics.de @tucphys.bsky.social

Es wird auch in Österreich das wärmste Jahr der Messgeschichte, und wir messen bereits seit mehr als 250 Jahren.

Just two weeks left to submit your candidacy for Assistant Professor in Condensed Matter Physics within the scope of the #InstitutCourtois. Strong background in physics and interest and intiative to contribute to the excellence of the institute? we want to see your proposal! cap.ca/job/assistan...

Our „social lab“ (the room with the coffee machine;-) is nicefied – we are getting ready for Xmas time… @tucphys.bsky.social

The latest paper from our group reports small molecule acceptors with unprecedented tricyclic end groups, potentially useful for organic photovoltaics, albeit weaker in strength compared to common IC and RD end groups. #Chemsky #CHEMnitz chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

I have started a list of scientists who research perovskite materials for solar cells. The key word here is started. Please help me find everyone who is on here who I have missed! Nominate yourself, point me to people who are missing, let's fill that list! 🧪
