When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

🚨A new #PhDposition is available within the #MSCA #NeuroNanotech Doctoral Network. The School of Electrical Engineering, Tel Aviv University (Israel) seeks a candidate to work on soft and adhesive neuronal implants.

📆Deadline: 16.03.2026.

Chemistry, Chirality, and Complexity as Concepts in Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Research More than 30 years have elapsed since the description of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Thirty years of intense research effort initially focused on elucidating the outstanding physical properties of SWCNTs, which gave rise to hopes for an immediate technological revolution. In parallel, advancements in synthesis and purification procedures afforded ever better samples of SWCNTs. A deeper understanding of the difficulties in exploiting the extraordinary intrinsic properties of SWCNTs and the advent of graphene marked the end of the hype. SWCNTs have now stepped out of the valley of disillusionment and are firmly climbing the slope of enlightenment. In this review, we highlight three broad concepts that we believe will permeate research in SWCNTs for the next few years: chemistry, chirality, and complexity. The quality of commercially available SWCNT samples, coupled with advances in characterization techniques, particularly microscopy, facilitates complex chemical derivatization of SWCNTs with reliable structural characterization. The endohedral modification of SWCNTs, inclusion of quantum defects, and synthesis of mechanically interlocked derivatives are illustrative examples. We also overview how enantiomeric resolution of SWCNTs enables new fields of research such as chiral sensing, catalysis, and spin filtering. Complexity, once seen as an enemy, now shows promise in several fields, as exemplified by physically unclonable functions and neuromorphic computing. These three axes, controlled chemical modification, chiral discrimination, and system-level complexity, are increasingly interwoven, defining an emerging research landscape for SWCNTs. Taken together, they offer a framework for reimagining the roles of SWCNTs in both fundamental science and technology. We hope this review inspires innovative research lines and encourages young scientists to focus on SWCNTs.

We have put together some ideas that we find exciting for the future of #SWCNT research: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.....
These three C's are all over our current lines of research. Our intention here is to communicate that excitement, share ideas, and hopefully inspire other groups as well.

A Twitter/X post from Nick Thomas-Symonds about the Hillsborough Law which says: No more cover-ups. No more lies. We're putting a legal duty on public servants to tell the truth. The Hillsborough Law will create a culture of honesty in the public sector and make sure no-one faces an injustice like the Hillsborough disaster again. ---- A picture in the tweet has a black bacground and on it is white text (below a torch) that says: Labour is delivering the Hillsborough Law to ensure truth can never be concealed by the state again.

Labour MPs posting about the Hillsborough Law being laid before Parliament – including Nick Thomas-Symonds on X/Twitter. In this spirit, can one of the Labour MPs on here get Nick to answer questions he's being asked on X/Twitter about the #contaminatedblood scandal & interim payments for estates?

The second interim payments for estates were announced on July 21st, almost 2 months ago, and no word since. My Dad died at the hands of the state 36 years ago (rdcu.be/eGXcB), same year as the Hillsborough disaster – where's his justice?

Very happy to have joined @isbomc25.bsky.social in Paris🇲🇫 thanks @gassergroup.bsky.social and @cariouk.bsky.social for the perfect organisation, and to all the participants who presented and discussed cool and inspiring research. Also grateful for the prize and for the opportunity to share my work!

If you get the Starting, Consolidator, Advanced, Synergy and this one, you unblock a secret level where you get your own castle and your hair turns purple
