Want a PhD next year? Are you interested in phosphorous nanomaterials? Want to learn how to make solar cells? Always wanted to deal with London's rental market? Then oh boy do I have news for you! Details below, and you can email me if you have questions #Chemsky #nanosky #PhD

graph-pes is John‘s open-source, all-round software package for fitting & fine-tuning graph-based ML interatomic potentials – do try it out, follow him for updates, and share! #chemsky #compchem 🧪

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

Beautiful sunsets on TS1. #disorderedmaterials #ISIS #neutrons

The sun this morning hit The Queen's College just right. @ox.ac.uk #oxford

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

It's pink, and it smells amazing. I might have a new favourite. #Chemsky #phenol #crystals

It was such a pleasure to host Prof Caroline Knapp in Oxford today. The first proper chemistry talk I could ever follow. Thank you very much again Caroline for coming up to visit us. @oxfordmaterials.bsky.social #UniversityofOxgord #OxfordMaterials #InorganicChemistry

If anyone knows AFM of nanomaterials and will be looking for a PDRA job around May next year, consider dropping me an email. Official adverts etc will follow in the new year

We currently have a project on gallium oxide thin films available through the competitive DTP route at UCL (Project ID: 2228cd1383) 🙌Deadline 8th January 2024 📢 Get in touch if you're interested! More info on the scheme here: www.ucl.ac.uk/epsrc-doctor...

Next up at #F24MRS is the wonderful Anna Regoutz (aka @bluebananna.bsky.social) who is (i) always great to hear from if you have any interest in using xrays to understand any interface you might care about (ii) definitely not a traitor for leaving UCL so she could return to Oxford

First Hamiltonian I have seen in years. I did not miss it but it was made sweeter by Samuel Yick's great talk at #f24mrs.

Well that was fun! The combination of the incredulity of being here with the excitement of talking about science. Fantastic first two days at #f24mrs

🌟 Exciting news! We're now on Bluesky! Follow us and join the conversation with #F24MRS. Stay connected with the latest updates and insights from the materials community!

How impressive to see MIT person. Boston is such a lively city, full of students. Reminds me of Oxford in many ways. What a pleasure to be here for #F24MRS. Who's joining ? Come to find me on Dec 3rd at the CH04.04.03 symposium #Boston #MIT #chemsky

I see your immediate vacancy and call with one of my own! Immediately available PhD studentship (Home fees & stipend) on a MOF/polymers/neutrons/computational project with ISIS, Cardiff and the Ada Lovelace Centre. Original student unable to start so post re-advertised. #ChemSky spread the word!

Nanopasta! Now all we need are nanoantipasto and nanowine, and we can have a lovely meal too small to see with the naked eye. nanoscale.blogspot.com/2024/11/nano...

Bluesky is really taking off with STEM academics across UCL, so I thought it was time we had our own Starter Pack #academicsky #chemsky #stem #sciencesky #research #chemeng go.bsky.app/9ZnMnCd

My fantastic office mate @clancylab.bsky.social has made nano-sized pasta, and the world has now lost its mind chemsky 🧪

I love the very proud Italian flag in Figure 2f.

Good to see you here @uclofficial.bsky.social

University College London has joined Bluesky today! Give them a follow - great to see academic institutions joining the platform as well as academics! bsky.app/profile/uclo...

Helping all the solid state chemists and inorganic materials chemists connect! Thanks for the suggestion to make this @christinabirkel.bsky.social! go.bsky.app/CKnAwGa

Really thought it was a Monet, but people insist it is a diffraction pattern. #electrondiffraction #Chemsky
