Before the end of the year we we're honored by a visit of @cabrelles497.bsky.social. Of course we enjoyed the last day of Ulm Christmas market. Thanks for making the years end a fun and scientificaly interesting experience!

Arraying MOPs into one-dimensional structures via van der Waals interactions creates new porous aerogels. Three years of Ayana's work is now posted on @chemrxiv.org!! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

Come and join us at Birmingham making cages for catalysis. We have a fully funded PhD studentship (UK home fees only) to start in 2026. Very happy to discuss this project, which can be tailored to suit a candidate's interests. Please get in touch if you are interested #chemsky

Earlier this year, a paper came out that suggested for many organic reactions stirring has little effect on reactions rates. Now, a group has released a preprint arguing that stirring remains critical for reproducibility, selectivity and scalability.

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

PLEASE REPOST: We have a 4-year, fully funded PhD studentship focussed on using computational chemistry to find new and improved oxides for X-ray detection, to start in October 2025. findaphd.com/phds/project.... This is open only to UK nationals.

A really nice @uobchemistry.bsky.social @imperialchemeng.bsky.social collaboration with Jesus Barrio looking at the impact of heterocyclic amines in the synthesis and structure of ZIFs 🥳 Out now on @jmaterchem.rsc.org!👇 More to come soon! @leverhulmetrust.bsky.social pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/A...

Please share: We're hiring a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the Grey Group. The project will focus on using operando optical microscopy to study solid-state ion dynamics and phase transformations in lithium- and sodium-ion battery materials. Learn more here: www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/52120/

Thanks to all who attended UKPORMAT25, and the @unibirmingham.bsky.social for hosting it. It was great to see so many interesting talks, poster presentations and fruitful scientific discussions. See you all next year at Bristol!

Congratulations to all of our poster prize winners at UKPORMAT 2025, and to @rigakuoxfordxrd.bsky.social and @unibirmingham.bsky.social for sponsoring the prizes. Winners, and certificate pictures below

Heading home after a great time at @rsc-pormat.bsky.social PorMat2025! Must have been practicing my jazz hands for next year’s promised karaoke…Lovely to see old friends and meet new ones, as ever - such a great community.

Last chance to apply for a PhD in our group. Deadline, tomorrow, 30th May. Don't miss out! 👇👇👇 #chemsky

***REGISTRATION EXTENDED! Final deadline 23rd May***

Last few days to register for #UKPorMat2025. Check the awesome line up of speakers 👇👇

#UKPorMat2025 is fast approaching & registration is still open at the moment ukpormat.com Not only do we have an outstanding invited speaker list, we're delighted to be able to advertise the rest of our fantastic lineup.

Remember those patterns? Our article is finally out on @naturecomms.bsky.social and you can read what disordered marvels caused them! Thanks to @nchampness.bsky.social @ellamschmidt.bsky.social & all the great scientists I joined in this journey 🎆 #MOF #crystallography #totalscattering #3DdeltaPDF

Faraday Institution funded postdoc on organic negative electrodes for sodium-ion batteries together with Russell Morris available as part of @nexgenna.bsky.social. @st-andrewschem.bsky.social. Details at www.vacancies.st-andrews.ac.uk/Vacancies/W/...

This year's Annual UK Porous Materials conference is on June 3/4 at @uobchemistry.bsky.social in Birmingham - registration and abstract submission are open and it's going to be great! More details here: www.ukpormat.com #ChemSky

Our colleague Tomislav Friscic in full flow for his inaugural lecture at @uobchemistry.bsky.social. A fantastic evening hearing about his journey as a chemist.
