New research shows that simply changing how a reaction vessel is positioned on a magnetic stirrer can significantly change a reaction's speed and product quality, influencing the reproducibility of results. #ChemSky #ScienceSky #EduSky

Epi editors change the activity of individual genes without altering genetic code, and could help treat many diseases. To learn more, I spoke with scientists from four companies at the cutting edge of this entirely new type of medicine 🧪 #chemsky www.chemistryworld.com/news/epigene...

The new approach uses a porous vanadium oxide compound that acts as an isotope-sensitive filter, sequestering the lighter lithium-6 isotope while allowing lithium-7 to pass through faster. #ChemSky

I think it's important to reach out to your own community and explain what the funding cuts mean in practice.

To mark the launch of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology today, I wrote this historical piece for the APS. physics.aps.org/articles/v18...

Obituary: James Fraser Stoddart (1942-2024) chemist and nanotechnology pioneer who built molecular machines https://go.nature.com/40MvkI9

When heated, cordierite shows very little overall expansion and negative thermal expansion along one direction. New molecular and lattice dynamics simulations are helping us understand why. www.chemistryworld.com/news/compute...

I'm delighted to share our opinion on #papermills published in Nature. Science is flooded with papers from paper mills.Certain steps can be taken, but this is a challenge that neither universities nor journals are ready to face.Some use paper mills to their advantage. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The opening ceremony of the International Year of Quantum Science & Technology will take place on Feb. 4-5 at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris. There’s a great lineup of speakers (shorturl.at/DLYvi) including Physics Nobel Laureates Anne L'Huillier, Alain Aspect & William Phillips shorturl.at/qBwAb

Today we report a new compendium of human gut microbiomes with >168,000 samples By analyzing this massive dataset, we discovered distinct microbiome patterns across the globe, and show we can predict where a person lives just from their gut bacteria Now out in Cell: www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

We’re thrilled that our first paper on the Human Microbiome Compendium, an integrated dataset of over 168,000 uniformly processed human gut microbiome samples, is officially out today in Cell! @richabdill.com @blekhman.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

A great meeting on "Advances in Structural Analysis of Biomolecules" celebrating 25 years of ChemBioChem and ChemPhysChem will be happening on October 23rd and 24th in Berlin, Germany. If you want to participate, you can already register and send in an abstract. #chemsky #ChemBio www.cbc-cpc2025.org

Excited to have #selfdrivinglaboratories listed as one of the seven technologies to watch in 2025 by @nature.com Thanks to the #matterlab, the @accelerationc.bsky.social and of course all the global community on SDLs! @uoft.bsky.social @vectorinst.bsky.social l www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The Young Scientist Award of @gdchbiochem.bsky.social of @gdch.bsky.social is open for nominations. If you know an excellent candidate, who defended their PhD or had a publication in 2024 in the field of biochemistry (or related), consider nominating them. #chemsky #ChemBio en.gdch.de/network-s...

Join us in Copenhagen for the European Symposium on Organic Chemistry (x.com/ESOC_ISC, June 29-July 3) this summer: www.esoc2025.com

I don't know how I missed this (delightful) article by @lonepair.bsky.social, "Has generative artificial intelligence solved inverse materials design?", especially in light of *that* new Microsoft paper www.cell.com/matter/fullt... #EditorsLife

I’ll miss gently berating him about how he could never organise files on his laptop and always had hundreds of files on his desktop. Fraser delivered my first chemistry lecture and the rest is history… I learned so much and owe him so much. RIP. chemistry.northwestern.edu/people/in-me... #Chemsky

When I first arrived in Evanston, I found a handwritten note under my hotel door. It was from Fraser, welcoming me to Northwestern and saying how he looked forward to meeting me. Warm, kind, loving, generous, caring and inspiring mentor. You will live in our 🤍 forever. Thank you for so much, Fraser!

Deeply saddened by the news of Fraser Stoddart’s passing. Here is a piece I wrote on the occasion of his 2016 @nobelprize.bsky.social at ACSCentSci. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Such sad news about Fraser, what an incredible figure in world chemistry. I feel lucky to have known him, and those he raised and mentored who then influenced me: his daughter Ali and @stuartcantrill.bsky.social
