After almost 3 years of development with @grimmelab.bsky.social, a first preliminary version of our next-generation general extended Tight-Binding (g-xTB) is now on ChemRxiv! Catch the details at #WATOC: my talk (Thu Session B1) and Stefan’s talk (Thu Session A2). #compchem doi.org/10.26434/che...

g-xTB is built to replace GFN2-xTB in all applications. It cuts MAEs by half, improves SCF convergence, and even beats B3LYP-D4 for reaction barriers — all with just 30–50% more computational cost than GFN2-xTB.

One of our most interesting works to date (in an area filled with unaswered questions!).

Very cool art work from @glowsticks.bsky.social!

We’ve recently shown that proteins with no aromatic residues can be fluorescent 💡 Join us to explore this paradigm-shifting phenomenon—Non-Aromatic Fluorescence (NAF)—and help build the next generation of optical imaging tools. 🔬🧬🔖

We’re looking for candidates to join our lab at ‪@ciqus.bsky.social for a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship! bit.ly/4k3uBJn 🧑🏻🔬👩🏻 If you’re into molecular photophysics,💡 peptide engineering, and rethinking the nature of fluorescence—read on. #MSCA2025 #ChemSky

We've just made public in ChemRxiv our study of non-aromatic fluorescent (NAF) peptides. NAF is super weird and refers to the emission from systems without conjugated or aromatic groups. In short, fluorescence emission from molecules with NO FLUOROPHORES! #ChemSky chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

The ORCA team is incredibly excited that this paper is now published - approximate fourth order N-electron valence perturbation theory - It comes close to MRCCSD accuracy while it's cost is as low as one iteration of internally contracted MRCI. Exciting prospects!

The first solution synthesis of the elusive ‘Clar’s goblet’ structure – first proposed over 50 years ago – has provided the perfect platform to prove spin entanglement between non-bonded electrons. #ChemSky

A linguistics professor was lecturing his class. "In English, a double negative is a positive. In some languages, like Russian, a double negative is still a negative. But, there is no language wherein a double positive can be a negative." A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."

Many thanks! to @bravo-abad.bsky.social and @chemortuno.bsky.social for representing the #theochem and #compchem fields in next edition of the yearly scientific days of the Materials Science Unit of the University of #Alicante iuma.ua.es/es/documento...

Thrilled to discuss AI for materials next week at the XXI Scientific Meeting of IUMA (University Materials Institute of Alicante). I'll explore how AI transforms materials science, from accelerating discovery to predicting new compounds.📍Jan 23-24, Edificio Nuevos Institutos, Universidad de Alicante
