They should make an H(ypnosis)-index for generative-art gifs, defined as the ratio between how long people get trapped in front of it and the actual length of the gif (this is 3 seconds)... For me, this gif has H in the range 20-25

Today we remember Henry Moseley, the Oxford physicist whose X-ray spectroscopy work reshaped our understanding of the elements. He was killed in action at Gallipoli in 1915, aged just 27. 🔗 Learn more: https://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/about-us/our-history/highlights-archive/moseley-and-x-rays

#compchem 🗳️ I'm making a series of exercices on “molecular simulation of materials”, focusing on classical atomistic methods. Other lecturers cover electronic structure and ab initio MD. What would be good (simple) systems to study, nice properties to calculate, analysis methods to showcase?

And here we have our Fourier transform nr. 58! As far as I'm concerned, perhaps the most enigmatic and unexpected spectrum so far... anyway, quite a spectacle! #BraggYourPattern #Fouriertransform #crystallography As always, more on behance.net/specialdefects and instagram.com/specialdefects

While playing around with shapes I discovered another optical illusion: it looks like it's tilting while going inwards, doesn't it... 🧐 it's not — check the corners. Its Fourier spectrum is really unlike anything I've seen so far... will post it soon. #BraggYourPattern

🎵 Sound-controlled crystals? In a recent Chemical Communications publication, researchers have discovered that low-frequency audible sound can steer which polymorphs form during crystallisation. A game-changer for #Pharma & #MaterialsScience! 👉 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a... #Crystallography

I wonder how many Japanese academics would drink a Sake called "Sake of clarity"; the romans used to say "In vino veritas", so they already took the lead... (yes, I mean Pb)

Despite their sleek appearance, Audrey Moores found that AI generated chemical structures on second glance were consistently incorrect, despite multiple rounds of prompt engineering.

Time for a new 57th entry in my #Reciprocart gallery! This time we look at the frequency spectrum of a Hyperbolic tiling of triangles 📐 Unsurprisingly (for the experienced) it's a bunch of lines... but the hexagonal symmetry is visible if one looks close enough 🧐 #crystallography #Braggyourpattern

Lots of great chemsky content in @science.org this week, including a remarkable porphyrin nanobelt from the Saywell and Anderson groups 🧪 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Every now and then I might post important concepts on single crystal diffraction analysis from my recent review. Today, this wrapped-up version of figure 1 reminds us what we lose in the process, and what we actually gain at the end: a model 💎 #crystallography #MOFs pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

2025 isn't over yet but it's unlikely that Twitter will see a resurgence of research discussions.

Incredible how so simple building blocks can form such a sophisticated, beautiful system... not to mention what we are still figuring out about it! Hopefully just the beginning of an exciting partnership with @jules-oppenheim.bsky.social and @mirceadinca.bsky.social 🚀 #MOFs #Totalscattering

Another bright star in our academic Bluesky 🎆 As many #MOFs scientists I'm so happy to welcome you here @hoirimoon.bsky.social ! 🎉

I'm really lost with the ま/真 prefix in Japanese. It has its own conjugation pattern with exceptions 😭 Also, I don't understand how it works with い-adjectives. In the sentence 「顔が真っ赤！」 (from my lesson), 赤い has lost its い and 真っ赤 is not an い-adjective. Why doesn't it need だ then?

Hear hear everyone: @larsohrstrom.bsky.social finally joined us on Bluesky! Welcome Lars! 🎊 #MOFs #crystallography

three cheers for slow science, each Nobel representing decades of inquiry that paved the way for the technology, treatments, & toys of tomorrow: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/09/s...

The wait is almost over – at 3pm BST we'll be going live with the panel of expert guests we've secured since the prize was announced. We can't wait to bring you discussion, opinion & insight, for what promises to be an enlightening interactive experience.

Jumping on this great idea, here's my 1st #MOF paper: a dive into solvent and temperature driven structure change in IRMOF-9 single crystals 💎 As it's part of a special issue for Omar's Wolf prize, I still remember the emotion of an unexpected e-mail from him thanking me for the contribution 🥹

It's amazing to see my article on multivariate #MOFs among the few selected by @nature.com to celebrate our new #NobelPrize in Chemistry! 🌟 It brings back fond memories of the long process behind this complex, quite visionary work 😊 www.nature.com/collections/... The article: 👉 rdcu.be/eKbPX

My take on "MOFs is a fancy way to say coordination polymer". They are, like polyoxometalates and metal halides. Yet, it is useful to realize that #MOF chemistry is based on distinct design principles thanks to the organic linkers, and on properties that don't belong to inorganic coord. polymers.

Well, well... who wants to be cited at the beginning of one of my papers next year? #NobelPrize

"Kitagawa told reporters (...) that he pursued this research because of its potential impact on society, but also because of the sheer fun of it." If you look inside so many great scientists you will consistently find that deep down they did it for the fun and beauty of it all. #MOFs #Science

I guess it's time to dust off a celebratory picture of my memorable visit to Omar's lab a few years back, with my good friend Stefan Wuttke 😊 #MOFs

and MOFs it is!!! #Nobelprize

"Taralli are toroidal" is my current favourite fact as far as phonaestetics goes. #topology

I'm so happy to see Prof Choe @chem571.bsky.social appearing here, welcome Wonyoung! Bluesky really needed the beauty of your #MOFs science 🌟

#NobelPrize week starts tomorrow & the #chemnobel is Wednesday… used to be so much Nobel chat on Tw*tter, but that is not replicated here, alas. Anyway, for the record, I think MOFs will win at some point (maybe this year maybe not). Balasubramanian & Klenerman a good bet for next-gen sequencing too

"In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits." www.computerworld.com/article/4059...

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

Someone in Verona decided to make "phonon-ish manhole covers" - Approved 👌🏻 #Braggyourpattern

When diffraction data has low resolution you can always make some Rorschach Tests out of it. #crystallography #Braggyourpattern

Time to stir controversies... but I had this meme in mind for too long

In case someone was wondering about the origin of those frequences... 😌 I admit this is pretty challenging to decipher in terms of real-space to reciprocal-space relationship, without knowing know how it is made. #FourierTransform #Crystallography #Braggyourpattern

There are too many in the waiting list, but I would be happy to hear recommendations for the next 🙂

My fellow #FourierTransform enthusiasts, here's a new entry in my collection ready for you, nr. 56! The real-space picture is an intersection of two tilings of squares, one tilted by 43°. Moiré pattern? Definitely related 💯 As always, you can find the high-res pair at behance.net/specialdefects
