Our manuscript introducing ion-pair assembly in CDC-borenium ions as a method to unlock red to near-infrared luminescence is now published in Nature Chemistry (www.nature.com/articles/s41...)! Chunlin shows that counteranion modulation directs solid-state emission! #maingroup @natchem.nature.com

Why should scientists write op-eds? It's tempting to say the facts ought to speak for themselves. But the facts are largely whispering among themselves in the scientific literature. They need us to give them a voice. How? Advice in my latest @natchem.nature.com Thesis rdcu.be/eJlGL #chemsky 1/3

Big congrats to my colleagues upstairs! Great work now published in @natchem.nature.com. Always happy to run #proteomics experiments with you. 🤝

Magnets may help astronauts breathe easier. A study in @natchem.nature.com shows they can boost water-splitting efficiency in microgravity by up to 240%, offering a simpler way to produce oxygen in space. www.nature.com/articles/s41... @natureportfolio.nature.com #chemsky #chemisky

For life to emerge on Earth, peptides must first have formed without the aid of enzymes — but how? Reactions of sulfur-containing molecules might have been key go.nature.com/4oX04jC

Super interesting insight into a @natcomputsci.nature.com paper.

Cool stuff, discovery of protein oliogophosphorylation by the Fiedler lab @fmp-berlin.de @natchem.nature.com. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Now what if NME1 is indeed the missing eukaryotic inorganic polyphosphate kinase?

Over the past years we traversed a huge network of FeS cluster conversions: 2Fe2S-to-4Fe4S-to-8Fe8S… and all the way back again! @natchem.nature.com @ethz.ch www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Magnets could increase the rate of water splitting in microgravity by up to 240% over unmodified devices, potentially producing substantially more oxygen for astronauts, says study in @natchem.nature.com. Findings suggest technology that could help to support human space exploration. #ChemSky

Water-splitting devices could provide oxygen for astronauts on long-term space missions but microgravity presents an issue. One team has found that off-the-shelf neodymium magnets are a simple addition that much improves these devices' efficiency.

Prof. Stephen Wallace: “What this technology shows is that by merging chemistry and biology in this way for the first time, we can make paracetamol more sustainably and clean up plastic waste from the environment at the same time.” www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

This is a clever way to distinguish PCET from PT/ET pathways: using pressure. ET/PT mechanisms lead to larger volume changes due to solvation of charged species. @guldi-group.bsky.social @natchem.nature.com rdcu.be/etauw
