Prof Dave Mills and I are currently advertising two 24-month PDRAs. Application deadline: 19th August. PDRA in Synthetic Inorganic Chemistry: www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai... PDRA in Advanced Spectroscopy and Magnetism: www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai...

International PhD scholarship round for 2026 is open at ANU. Aspiring scholars with Masters degree, or equivalent (eg Australia/NZ Hons), interested in computational chemistry, quantum information, molecular spins, vibronic coupling, or something in that vein - get in touch!

Thanks very much to Mason Wakley from @chemistryworld.com for this really nice write-up from our latest paper. 🙏🏻

A new dysprosium complex that retains magnetic memory at 100K could drastically reduce the space required to store large amounts of information in modern data centres. #ChemSky

Really proud to share that our work on a Dysprosium compound with hysteresis at 100 K has been published in @nature.com Lead by @millsgroupchem.bsky.social @nfchilton.bsky.social and Jack Emerson-King with Ben Atkinson, Will Blackmore and @jeffjefftyjeff.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Delighted to announce the publication of our work in @nature.com, in collaboration with @nfchilton.bsky.social's group, on a dysprosium compound with magnetic memory at 100 Kelvin. Congrats to all authors inc. @gemmagransbury.bsky.social, @jeffjefftyjeff.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

So I’ve finished working at the Uni of Florence and will move home to Adelaide and look for jobs outside of academia - I don’t know what the future holds but this feels right for now. Thanks to the Perfetti Group and LAMM for the past year 😊 Stay tuned there’s still exciting science to come! 👀

🔓Read this #OpenAccess study by @millsgroupchem.bsky.social, @nfchilton.bsky.social & co on two heteroleptic octahedral Dy(III) cis-aryloxide complexes—rare Dy(III) SMMs with observable EPR spectra👀 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a... 📍@uniofmanchester.bsky.social, @scienceanu.bsky.social 🧪

For all the EPR-loving SMM-hunters who never have their two interests united! Enjoy the very sharp Dy spectra 😁 Huge team effort especially with Vijay Parmar to get this over the line once we’d both left Manchester, and cool to make 32 papers when I turned 32 last week!

📢📢 Two PhD positions and one summer internship available in our group to work within the ERC Starting Grant RadicalProtON project. Located at the Faculty of Chemistry of the University of the Basque Country, Spain. More details on each position and how to apply below 👇

My first paper to share on Bluesky! Really nice paper with Jack Baldwin with some lanthanide phosphide complexes and their pNMR spectra in solid state and in solution, including 31P of coordinated P!

Happy to announce two funded #PhD studentships for aspiring synthetic chemists to do some f-element molecule making. (1) High oxidation states; (2) Tuneable electronic structures for qubits. See: www.capgoodwin.com/pages/positi... for details, and below for both FindAPhD links.

🌍 Book recommendation - Voyagers by Lauren Fuge - a reckoning with the toll we have taken on our planet. Challenging myths of infinite growth and human supremacy, “we don’t own this world; we belong to it.” A call for bravery, resistance, and collective action to rewrite the story of our species.🌱
