Light detectors made from perovskite crystals see in full colour Most pixels in cameras detect only red, green or blue light. A sensor made from perovskite materials absorbs all three, improving image brightness and resolution.

‘A funeral for our careers’: Trump’s science cuts spill onto Canadian turf Researchers in Canada prepare for turbulence in the wake of US funding changes — but there’s a silver lining.

Canadian academics are some of the Americas’ top research collaborators and receive funding from US agencies. As a result, they have not been spared from the funding cuts and job losses that are plaguing their US counterparts. #Academicsky 🧪

What a week @egu.eu. Lots of interesting presentations and fantastic sunny hot weather in Vienna! Sadly, not enough schnitzels! Oh well, maybe next year. @sheared-sash.bsky.social

The return of the pre-EGU fieldtrip through the Austrian Bohemian Massif was a fantastic way to kickoff the conference week. Fantastic weather and fantastic organization made it very enjoyable! Thanks Bernhard, Anna, @sheared-sash.bsky.social and Chris. #egu25 @egu.eu @ts.egu.eu 🪨 🧪⚒️ #geology

It’s been a hot minute since my last #thinsectionthursday but here’s some things I’m working on these days… anyone else having issues with how2plot in MTEX 6.0? I’ve seen some solutions online.. think they’re working but it’s just so random how orientations get flipped without explicit scripting ⚒️🧪

Takk Hugo!

Thanks! Couldn’t have done 2/3 without you… some might even say 3/3 without you… but we’ll leave that for another debate hahah

💥 hot off the press and 4 years in the making! My PhD thesis in all its glory! 2 published papers, 1 nearly ready for submission, and an exciting project in the making, all find a home in the pages within. Super proud of my work at Njord w/ Luca Menegon, Kristina Dunkel, & @sheared-sash.bsky.social

It’s cause of the eggs pricing… #openingthecanofworms

So you don’t shake hands with the rector/president in some fancy library and receive the degree all rolled up in a few weeks time?

Hello Bluesky! EGU is pleased to be able to activate our account here, and share all the exciting news about the upcoming General Assembly: #EGU25, our #OpenAccess publications and more! Several of our Divisions will be making the move over from Twitter/X too, so keep an eye out for your favourites!

Great GUI. I’ll have to dig around with the plotting options. Lots of settings to sort out on how I want to present my data

I saw that but it’s now outdated by 6 years

Searches come back with R scripts or suggesting to use Web of Science author search, which are all valid of course. This website I came across was quick and easy

Hey everyone,
Does anyone have a link to a website where you can search for conflict of interests among research collaborators? A few months ago (~Nov 2024), someone shared a link but I haven’t been able to find it or something similar with a google search. 🧪 ⚒️

😃 thanks Hugo!

(3) Repeated fragmentation and comminution in addition to fluid at the grain boundaries are required to facilitate viscous deformation

We find that
(1) Plagioclase in the damage zone of a lower-crustal pseudotachylyte deformed via pulverization-style fragmentation

(2) Liberated H2O as a result of the earthquake remained in grain boundary regions and facilitated neoblast growth and healing of fractures

🚨 Hot off the press 🪨 ⚒️ Where do you come from, where do you go 🎶 fluids that is… after an earthquake in the dry lower crust? We look into this and more using SEM-CL, EBSD, EMPA, STEM, and FTIR!

The poll was only open for all of… less than a week. How many answered? Is it even representative? Article date for the poll is January 14th and today is the 18th

Congrats 🥳 🎉

Orientation map (IPFZ) of diopside that formed from the breakdown of omphacite, a high pressure mineral.

This is a map showing the orientation of diopside in a deformed symplectite. This used to be an omphacite, which tells us that the rock used to be at very high pressure (great depth). ⚒️🧪
