KTH is very pretty at this time of year 🍂🍁

yay for MOFs!!!! when can I sign up for the lectures?? 😁 #chemnobel

🎖️ The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2025 is awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson & Omar Yaghi! They have created molecular constructions, known as metal–organic frameworks, that can contribute to solving some of humankind’s greatest challenges.

hands up if you also forgot to 'thinky think' ✋

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

AI can now generate fake microscopy images that are nearly impossible to detect. A serious threat to scientific integrity—and we’re not prepared for it.

Jake, this is huge!!! really well done 👏👏👏 awesome news 🎉

here at Vetenskapens Hus today to prepare for the Forskar Grand Prix later this month! #outreach

had to walk past/through FIVE (not an exaggeration) separate dance troupes this morning at 8:30 on my way to the lab. the students are well and truly back... and there are some rather odd fresher's celebrations happening at KTH

In beautiful Jyväskylä together with @sgoldup.bsky.social and Fabien Cougnon holding a summer school on mechanically interlocked molecules! Brilliant students, great discussions and fantastic weather as a bonus 🤩🍀.

An information ratchet improves selectivity in molecular recognition under non-equilibrium conditions Nature Nanotechnology - An abiotic information ratchet mechanism increases selectivity for the correct DNA duplex from 2:1 at equilibrium to 6:1 under energy-dissipating conditions.

Great to see this paper published today !! Phenomenal work by @benjaminoacid.bsky.social in collaboration with Erica Del Grosso and Francesco Ricci at Rome ‘Tor Vergata’. Many thanks to @epenocchio.bsky.social for contributing. 1/n

This illustration shows consecutive stages during operation of a molecular catenating machine.

This week in Science, researchers report an artificial molecular motor that can twist a molecular thread to form a mechanically interlocked molecule. The approach creates opportunities to fabricate mechanically interlocked molecules with precise structural control.

beautiful work Tommy, huge congratulations 👏👏👏 all my best to Robert, Michael and the rest of the team for this incredible endeavour 😁

Delighted to follow @mvdelius.bsky.social into the 1st issue of @angewandtechemie.bsky.social Novit! Congrats to Jiankang, Enzo, Patrick, Axel, Andrei & Dan on the spontaneous assembly of catenanes lacking strong recognition sites🔗😃 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

A molecular machine directs the synthesis of a catenane Precise mechanical manipulation of molecules is inherently difficult owing to random thermal motion. Although directed movement on the molecular scale has been achieved, using it to impose specific—es...

Oh, you have a machine that goes bing? Well guess what chemsky? @science.org has a machine that goes RING! On the cover this week, Michael Kathan’s group use a Feringa-type rotary motor to produce catenanes! 🧪

lab maintenance day 🛠️ @anjaramstrom.bsky.social and I took three barely working rotavaps and created two fully functional ones 👩‍🔬💪 demanding work, but well worth it #chemsky

note to self: there is enormous fikabröd in Norway... bigger than in Sweden

6) Organic chemistry is a language course with grammar and vocabulary and if it was presented that way it wouldn’t be as hard

Transition-path times of individual molecular shuttles under mechanical equilibrium show symmetry This study explores microscopic reversibility to understand the operation of molecular devices.

Molecular machines operate out of thermodynamic equilibrium, but as molecules in solution (low Reynold's number) are always in mechanical equilibrium.

running prep TLC for the first time since the first year of my PhD... wish me luck 🤪

this is rather concerning, and a real shame for prospective undergraduates

Mechanically interlocked molecules This Collection aims to bring together the latest research on mechanically interlocked molecules, including with respect to their design, construction, ...

Delighted to present our Collection on Mechanically interlocked molecules! #Chemsky

Congratulations and thank you to Guest Editors
@fschaufelberger.bsky.social, Jose Berna and Serena Silvi for expertly editing this Collection of exciting content.

what I see vs. what my vials see

back in Stockholm at KTH, working on my own projects again 💪🔗 it's much quieter (and cooler) over here than in Warwick, that's for sure! #heatwave

here are some photos of said highlights!! the ET mosaic was really cool 😁

absolutely, gorgeous science in picturesque scenery. what could be better!!

another highlight after the UoB visit was showing Anja and Maike around my home city of Birmingham 😇 it's not as bad as people say - I'm proud to be a Brummie!! #bigupbirmingham

it was great to be at @uni-of-warwick.bsky.social with @anjaramstrom.bsky.social and @fschaufelberger.bsky.social this week to FINALLY meet our new summer students in person! 😁 we enjoyed plenty of science chats, and a fantastic visit to @uobchemistry.bsky.social to catch up with old friends ⚛️👏

Amazing summer socials this week with group members from both Warwick and KTH! Highlights included a tour of the Leamington Elephant Bath and ET graffiti, cocktail by the river and of course tons of science chats 🍀🧪🧬. Just the best bunch of people ever #luckyPI

I help to build support systems for Latina researchers After leaving academia, chemist Daisy Rosas Vargas starting leading outreach to encourage Latina people in pursuit of science careers.
