#BraggYourPattern in Oslo

I have a question for #chemsky and #chemchat: I often see published PXRD patterns which do not fit to the theoretical pattern of a new structure. If the diffraction data don't support the structure, what does that say about the rest of the characterization?

Surprising to see this in 2025. At minimum, I expected the data to be available upon reasonable request.

I’m excited to join the IUCr Early Career Board for Acta Cryst. A, J. Appl. Cryst., and J. Synchrotron Rad. 💎🌐 Looking forward to learning from and contributing to the crystallography community through meaningful scientific exchange! #IUCr #EarlyCareerBoard 🔗 journals.iucr.org/s/services/e...

Okay, today is physics #NobelPrize day, so there's just enough time for another instalment of... PHYSICS NOBEL PRIZES YOU’VE NEVER HEARD OF – PART 2 In 1912, a Swedish inventor called Gustaf Dalén beat Albert Einstein and Max Planck (inter alia) to the biggest prize in physics. How? Well...🧵🧪⚛️

Ahead of tomorrow’s #NobelPrize announcement, I went on a deep dive in search of the most obscure physics Nobel Prizes in history. That means it's time for a thread on...🧵 PHYSICS NOBEL PRIZES YOU’VE NEVER HEARD OF – PART 1 (1/n)

My tutorial review on single crystal diffraction analysis is now online @crystengcomm.rsc.org! Students, supervisors, and reviewers: Please consider this thought-provoking read to discover many facets of the crystallographic practice that are often overlooked or misunderstood 💎 #crystallography

Just some pretty crystals #chemsky

"The data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request" How can this still appear in scientific papers from 2025? As a reader, reviewer, and evaluator (promotions, faculty hiring, awards), it is a red flag #OpenScience #ChemSky

Check out our new paper just published together with the Canepa group. 🎉📝 We took a deep dive into the crystal structure of Li4SiS4.🔍 This helped us investigate how mixing silicon with tin in Li4SiS4–Li4SnS4 affects the structure and ionic conductivity. 🧩 Check it out ⬇️ pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

A friend of mine recently showed me cluesbysam.com I really like the puzzles

Look at our first group photo in 2025! We celebrated Bettina's Leibniz award together and enjoyed the beautiful weather of early summer with BBQ ☀️🌲 Here’s to more breakthroughs, sunshine, and sizzling science this year!

New paper just dropped in JACS! 🧪 How does CALF-20 actually changes its bulk structure when exposed to CO₂ & H₂O? Thanks to in situ lab X-ray diffraction, you can now check our latest insights! 👇 🔗 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... #Chemsky

👏Congrats to Konni, Hannes and our colleagues from the @lotschgroup.bsky.social, whose paper "Predict before You Precipitate: Learning Templating Effects in Hybrid Antimony and Bismuth Halides" is now online on Chem. Mater. @pubs.acs.org!👏 🔗Link: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.... 📝Paper digest: 👇

Predict before you Precipitate! 🤖🧪 Excited to share our new work! We used machine learning to predict the crystal structure of hybrid antimony and bismuth halides. Great collaboration between our colleagues at @fhi-mpg.bsky.social and @lotschgroup.bsky.social pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... #chemsky

The advantages and disadvantages of forgoing the crystalline state:

common knowledge among chemists: compressed gas cylinders basically last forever. some date back to WW2. those used in Nazi Germany (Linde) were marked with swastikas. after the war, the swastikas were defaced into "windowpanes" ⊞ — you can still find such cylinders in the wild today. #chemsky ⚗️🧪

Cool to see the single optical axis in these crystals #chemsky

Introducing the exciting collaborative work led by Dang Wook Kim on therapeutic microrobots coated with COF!🚚💊 advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... A huge thanks to our amazing collaborators for making this possible! @mpi-is.bsky.social x @ethzurich.bsky.social x @mpifkf.bsky.social 🤝

We were excited to be at the #HäkoConference2025 in Innsbruck with some of the team! 🤝✨ Learning, networking, and great science. 🧪 #chemsky @jabla.bsky.social

Last week, I had the amazing opportunity to give a lecture at the 36. Deutsche Zeolith-Tagung in Erlangen and present our progress on the topic of "Light-driven molecular motors in permanently porous Metal-Organic Frameworks".

You also geek out on disordered & defective materials? I and @hannabostroem.bsky.social are organizing a dedicated session at the coming 35th European #crystallography meeting: we'd love to see and showcase your research ✨ Submissions are open at ecm35.org until 30th April, consider joining us!

An alle, die meinen, mit Blick auf den politischen und gesellschaftlichen Rechtsruck wenig bewirken zu können: Das stimmt nicht! Lasst uns bitte die Handlungsräume erkennen und gut nutzen, die wir haben. Deshalb geht bitte morgen zur #btw2025, für die #Demokratie, gegen die extreme Rechte! #noAfD

Hello @bsky.app ! We are happy to finally be here and share our exciting science with the #Chemsky and broader community. Drop a follow to stay up to date on our cool nanoscience 🤏, innovative materials🔋and latest scientific discoveries 🧪!

Hi #Chemsky and #PerovSky I was wondering if anybody has a CIF file for CsBi3I10. It was reported in this paper for the first time: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

You are an undergraduate student from the global south and are interested in working at one of the world leading institutes for solid-state research? - apply via the COMPASS program of @mpifkf.bsky.social and get the chance for a fully funded 6-month internship - www.fkf.mpg.de/compass

What do #COF materials really look like? Well ... It's tricky. Check out our recent article about disorder effects in COFs and how refinements are important, yet not really straightforward...oftentimes coming up short from the big picture. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... #Science #Chemsky

2024 konnten wir wichtige Nadelstich setzen. Das „Best of Informationsfreiheit“ gab es beim diesjährigen #38c3. @arnesemsrott.bsky.social präsentiert euch unsere Highlights des vergangen Jahr und zeigt auf, worauf es 2025 ankommt – Wir werden dranbleiben! media.ccc.de/v/38c3-das-i...

Check it out - Vincenzo Scamarcio at EPFL has built a *dual-arm* mobile robot for chemistry. Very cool! See @linkedin.com post here: tinyurl.com/5n8ffznt #chemsky #robots

Seit Jahren warnt Volksverpetzer vor dem Rechtsruck & der Desinformation in WELT. Wir wurden nicht ernst genommen, deren Journalisten beteiligten sich an Shitstorms gegen uns. Heute geht die Chefin des Meinungsressorts selbst, weil Musk dort Werbung für die AfD machen darf. Wir warnen nicht umsonst!

Another great blogpost. This time about the moon.

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!

Interesting lab tour of the Tritium Laboratory at KIT www.youtube.com/watch?v=kosX...

I love Thursdays as it is #realtimechem experiment day in my first year chemistry lecture! Here you can see the ⏩ of a Briggs–Rauscher reaction; an oscillating version of the Iodine Clock #ChemSky 🧪🥽

Hey hey #Chemsky! 🧪 I'm gonna see if this works better than the other place to look for expert comments 🤗 I need someone who works in chirality and proteins for a story I'm working on - my DMs are open 📬 Reposts appreciated to boost visibility! Thanks 🙏🏼🔄

A new paper from our group! COFs are quite stable, but attention must be paid to whether or not the catalysts immobilized in them are stable. #pormatsky #chemsky onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
