Seems a bit unreal to be Part of this beautiful colourfull mess...

Have a great time!

Interested in working at the interface of computational chemistry, machine learning and material science?

Feel free to get in touch with us: phdheidelberg@gmail.com

Struss looks alot like @balkowitsch.bsky.social ... Magicians with light indeed

I would love analysis of polymorphism and respective energetic stability of different phases. Could work with C allotropes or maybe pure Si zeolite vs.quarz.

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

I guess its a good time to reshare this onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1... - thanks Susumu for the great mentorship over the years. Finally the TV stations came for a good reason to your office!

Well Looks like that is finally done... Congrats to Susumu, Richard, and Omar #MOFs

Useful practices in single crystal diffraction analysis of reticular structures Single crystal diffraction analysis remains the gold standard for the three-dimensional atomic structure characterization of framework materials such as metal–organic frameworks, covalent organic fram...

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

What a Community Service! Thanks @stecanossa.bsky.social !

Come join our team! We have a PhD position available on noncovalent interactions in COFs. The position is part of the BEAM graduate school. (Details in the alt text)

Congrats! And excited to See what results the Project will Bring.

Good luck in your new position.

@stecanossa.bsky.social this is calling for you! MOFs are sort of like proteins being big molecules, right?

Isoreticular moiré metal-organic frameworks with quasiperiodicity - Nature Communications Twisted bilayer metal-organic frameworks produce dodecagonal quasiperiodic moiré patterns with tunable length scales. Here the authors show that isoreticular ligand design enables control over aperiod...

Just out in Nature Communications! @natcomms.nature.com

We dive into the quasiperiodicity of moiré 2D MOFs😉🔬

Grateful to Prof. W.Choe and our team, and to collaborators Prof. S.S. Park and Prof. J.Kim for their contributions.

Great read and super nicely illustrated! This is a fantastic resource for an emerging field.

Fantastic effort and great paper. Lots of exciting in situ data expected from this!

@waltherlab.bsky.social taking us on a magical ride about adaptive soft matter. What a treat and fantastic talk at @uniulm.bsky.social!

People smiling

Group outing in Ulm. Thrilled to have the team at our new home! #schwörmal

Quite impressive graduation party by @uniulm.bsky.social. now off to Schwörmontag.
