The 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 for the 20th National School on #MolecularMaterials (ENMM 2026) closes next Monday! 📍 Sitges (Spain) 📅 22 – 26 Feb. 2026 📜Submit your abstract: www.enmm2026.com/abstracts @rseq-quimica.bsky.social @rsef-esp.bsky.social icmab.es/xx-national-...

Our work @angewandtechemie.bsky.social explores solar energy storage in NBD/QC dimers. We discovered an interplay between structure, fluorescence, and switching. The best system reached an efficiency of 2.9% a record for what we have developed so far onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Applications for MCSA are up 64%! 50% now come from outside the EU. Trump effect? The European Research market just got a hell of a lot more crowded. EU should turn on the tap marie-sklodowska-curie-actions.ec.europa.eu/news/msca-po...

I am excited to share the publication of “Molecular Solar Thermal Energy Storage Systems - From Surface Science to Functional Devices” This book explores #moleculardesign, performance criteria, computational methods, phase change, #catalysis, and applications. link.springer.com/series/10425

Nanomaterials researchers are warning of the threat posed to their discipline by fake microscopy images generated by AI.

Frequency Targeting In #superconducting quantum processors isn’t just a design detail — it’s a scaling bottleneck. Frequency crowding → higher gate error rates. Here we show how we work with this at con-science.se

Having a supportive community around you when you write can make the difference between you getting your writing done and just sitting on uncompleted drafts for years. 👀 Not even speaking of the emotional benefits! Writing doesn't have to be lonely or exhausting. #AcWri #PhDchat #Academia

I am fundraising to help Ibrahim continue his studies as a third-year Physics student at the Islamic University of Gaza, despite the war. The academic year starts on 18th of Sept, online. The tuition fee is €1000. Thank you for your contributions; your help is deeply appreciated. gofund.me/3a9ca20d

We would like to congratulate Wouter van der Wijngaart, Johan Elf and co-workers from @uu.se and @kthuniversity.bsky.social on publishing their work on "Culture-free detection of bacteria from blood for rapid sepsis diagnosis" in www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Battery technology is cheap enough to enable one to be put into every home, school and hospital so that they use dirt cheap power drawn down at 2am instead of expensive power at 5pm. Quickest easiest and cheapest way to cut fuel bills and reduce need for generator capacity.

This is an excellent illustration of how useless the "Impact Factor" metric is. The most influential multidisciplinary chem journals are JACS and Angewandte. They did not make the list. In this short ad hoc 🧵 I will analyze in real time what made the list and why. I have a bad feeling about this.

Super stoked to see our paper on ‘Coupling Negative Feedback Loops’ come out in @cp-chem.bsky.social 🍌☺️🎉🐒 Huge shoutout to David for being my partner in crime throughout the project! Thanks to everyone else involved and make sure to have a read!

Our first collaborative paper with the group of Ping Lu has now been accepted in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social (dx.doi.org/10.1002/anie...). Congrats to Dongyang for his contribution.🎊@standrewschem.bsky.social @standrewsosc.bsky.social #oleds

Had a nice time visiting @chemguyeli.bsky.social at @uniofstandrews.bsky.social yesterday! great discussions and such a special place! thanks again for arranging this!

It was great to host Kasper Moth-Paulson, hear about his great science, and show him around St Andrews

In my new Substack post, I highlight Minerva (by Sin and coauthors), a machine learning–driven method that combines Bayesian optimization with automation to rapidly optimize chemical reactions, significantly accelerating conventional process development. open.substack.com/pub/bravoaba...

Photoswitchable drugs offer immense #photopharmacological opportunities since the isomers can have different pharmacological profiles. #photoswitches need UV or blue light to be modulated. The light has very low penetration depth and these drugs are limited to application conditions in the skin.

New featured paper from @moth-poulsen.bsky.social‬ (@upc.edu): New high-throughput platform for photoswitch charactarisation using UV-Vis, LEDs & Python. Cuts material use, boosts reproducibility. Validated several photoswitch classes. #chemistry #photoswitches #openscience doi.org/10.1039/D5DD...

Excited to share the publication of our automated characterisation platform for measuring the quantum yield and half life of molecular photoswitches. The method is easy to use and reduce also the needed amount for characterisation. #chemsky #molswitch pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...
