Pocket guide to materials discovery calculation methods (repost from the other place)

@robertpalgrave.bsky.social delivers the PCG plenary lecture at #BCA25 "The role of AI in materials discovery"

This is why everyone falls in love with solid state chemistry - first year lab straight out of Harry Potter

Nice visit to the European Commission to discuss AI in materials!

The UK National XPS Service now on bluesky!

Hey it's 2025 so here's a version of our Lattice paper as a AI generated trance track suno.com/song/a512663...

Twitter is getting really really weird x.com/jlippincott_...

Lord Toby Young has posted a rehashing of the "CO2 is saturated" meme. It sounds plausible, and some eminent scientists believed it back in history. But we've known for 100 years that the atmosphere isn't saturated with CO2 And one very simple observation shows it beyond doubt.

Another amazing SSCG Christmas Meeting at the University of Birmingham comes to an end, a fascinating range of talks as usual and great to catch up with many friends. Congrats to the organisers! Can't wait for next year!

Rob Palgrave (@robertpalgrave.bsky.social) from UCL kicking off the morning after the night before of #SSCGXmas with a talk on the (structural) chemistry of halide perovskites #chemsky

How you know Christmas has really begun: start of the RSC Solid State Chemistry Christmas Meeting at University of Birmingham

So, as a new member of the US National Committee for Crystallography, I've been tasked with looking into workforce development. So I'd like to ask you #chemsky peeps how you learned about crystallography? Reply and retweet, I wanna hear from as many of you as possible!

I never normally do this - but got this review today on a paper about XPS fitting of some very topical compounds that literally every paper in the field gets wrong

Next up... XPS themed biscuits for my visit to Harwell 🤓🍪🧪 #Chemsky

Just casually strolling past the Ministry of Truth

Major announcement from Microsoft, their machine learning matter simulator is now available

Cory D with an important point about the future of bluesky... It's gonna get enshittified and nothing can stop it doctorow.medium.com/https-plural...

Today I realised some charities are buying Google ads on other charities web searches, so they appear at the top of the search and presumably steal traffic. Is that really necessary?

The ChemisTree is up! It is officially festive season in the Turner Lab. Can you guess the molecule on top of the tree?

UCL quad looks best on a crisp winter day

Kicking off our new Bluesky account with news about the world's thinnest spaghetti created by a team including @clancylab.bsky.social. Eco-friendly nanofibers for smart bandages to help bone regeneration. www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/no...

I've keeping an eye on all the different chemistry starter packs. Here is the big list so far, in no particular order and badly formatted: #ChemSky #StarterPack #ChemistryStarterPack #Chemistry #Chemists #StartingPack

Previous years of chemistry themed biscuits for my research group/collaborators. Any ideas for what to do this year?? #chemsky

What on earth? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

So happy to be on this platform away from dogma and intolerance.... My only worry, what if the crystallographers follow us?!? 🤣 (Just joking, all blue skies from here...)
