Need to take note of this #chemsky #compchemsky. For anyone in perovskites this GRC is a legend. (Sadly, for me too so far. Did not manage to go and need to make a better effort this time! Thank you @jpcorreabaena.bsky.social and other organizers!)

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.

Globally, roughly a third more power is being generated from the sun this spring than last. If this exponential rate of growth can continue, we will soon live in a very different world, @billmckibben.bsky.social writes.

As of June 1st, my promotion to Full Professor became official! We celebrated this milestone with the team at our traditional summer BBQ and took the opportunity to take a new group photo 🌟 #best #team, #optoelectronic #materials @erc.europa.eu #NWO #SolarNL

Can we grow #layered #low #dimensional #halides with #PLD?⚡And use this to make #stable 2D/3D #perovskite #heterostructures? The answers in our recently published work 👇. www.nature.com/articles/s41... @erc.europa.eu. Great job Junia and collaborators from SAV, FZU and ITQ @pablopboix.bsky.social

Don’t miss Junia’s talk about epitaxial halide perovskites and layered perovskites by room temperature #pld ⚡️

𝐖𝐄 𝐀𝐑𝐄 #𝐇𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 on the 𝐏𝐇𝐃 & 𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐓𝐃𝐎𝐂 level! If you are interested in #spectroscopy & #materials science for spin-/optoelectronics, please consider joining our team. Details on the positions and how to apply: www.feldmannlab.com/open-positions Sharing with your network is greatly appreciated!🙏:) #EPFL

Super happy to see this cover out! 🤩 it highlights our work on epitaxial halide perovskites published in this issue. The cover was made by Tatiana Soto, alumni of the M3 lab 🌟

There you go.

The protests against the proposed budget cuts in higher education in The Netherlands keep on going. Yesterday we had our turn at the University of Twente. And look who I found in the crowd: Linn Leppert @hybridlinn.bsky.social representing 💪

M³-Lab group dinner to celebrate recent successes and welcome Vojta who visit us from the Czech Republic to continue experiments on high deposition rate PLD of metal halide perovskites. ⚡ #collaborations #teamwork #best_team #MaterialsScience #SolarEnergy

In our latests work we show template-assisted PLD growth of CsxFA1-xPbI3 films: compositional control and phase-pure growth on planar and textured substrates 🔬. @kraljs.bsky.social and collaborators at EPFL (@pero-pal.bsky.social), EMPA and AMOLF advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Two weeks ago, we have celebrated the third #PhD #graduation from my team! Congratulations Dr. Adeem Saeed Mirza! 🚀 Great defense 👏 and great contributions to the experimental development of #p-type #transparent #conductive #materials 🔍. Work financed by the Dutch Research Council #NWO.

Yes, this happened. Chemistry is affected most badly, but also other departments. Most of the PIs that were laid off had active groups, were publishing, receiving grants, teaching, and doing everything else we are told to do to be seen as valuable members of the academic community /1

Just published: Our latest work on #in-situ PL monitoring during #halide #perovskite #growth with PLD. The key advantage of in-situ PL? It enables growth studies at various deposition rates, achieving up to a 10-fold enhancement in deposition speed of MHP with PLD! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Some of the #compchemsky DFT calculations in this paper were performed by Sebastian Reyes-Lillo, the master of strain, from Universidad Andres Bello in Chile, who’s not on Bluesky though.

Super proud of this work! Epitaxial growth of halide perovskites at room temperature by PLD: Beautiful reciprocal space maps 🤩, nice strain calculations by @hybridlinn.bsky.social 💫 and co., and optoelectronic characterization together with Czech Acad. Sci., AMOLF and U. of Oxford. #ERCStGCREATE

End of my 'winter' holidays and family time in #CostaRica 🌴🌤️ 🍉

Honored to contribute in this issue together with many amazing women scientists! 💫 Thank you @kamat.bsky.social and @acs.org for publishing these inspiring stories.

Even without the existential impetus of climate change during his Presidency, Jimmy Carter sensed how high the stakes were. The energy crisis, he told Americans early on, was a reminder that “ours is the most wasteful nation on earth.”

Can we “design” amorphous materials with useful properties? We argue that #compchem & AI are bringing us closer towards this ambitious goal: rdcu.be/d3JD6

#Cope #GeorgiaTech rocks. Wonderful double bill by the great #PeteSkabara and @mmoralesmasis.bsky.social . Thanks for stopping by #ATL!!

The EN07 #f24MRS symposium organizers, Emily Warren David Fenning and myself, congratulate the #Best #Presentation #Award winners: Jasmeen Nespoli 🏆, Luis Victor Torres Merino 🏆and Suzana Kralj @kraljs.bsky.social 🏆. Well done all! Special thanks to the award sponsor #PRXEnergy #APS

Keeping up with the M^3 lab traditions: morning run in Boston ☀️. This time post-conference. It has been a fantastic week discussing science and meeting many friends and collaborators #f24mrs

In Boston and ready for an exciting week at the MRS #fmrs24. Check out our talks! Looking forward to great interactions this week

Exciting opportunity! Join our team @newcastleuni.bsky.social for a fully funded PhD in Indoor Photovoltaic Devices & Materials Integration for IoT Applications. Explore cutting-edge research at the intersection of energy & tech! 🌱⚡️ www.findaphd.com/phds/project... #PhD #IoT #IndoorSolar

We were incredibly lucky today to have Rachel Woods-Robinson visiting our department and sharing her thoughts on sustainable material design with us. Main takeaway: this is an entirely new field, requiring a whole new level of interdisciplinary research #compchemsky #chemsky
