Haynes group patents new method to fight global food insecurity Story by Timmy Nguyen and Melanie LexMINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL (2/14/2024) – Novel nanoparticle research from the Haynes group aims to fight global food insecurity by boosting the defenses of food-produc...

The Haynes group recently received a patent for their groundbreaking novel nanoparticle research that aims to fight global food insecurity. We're #UMNProud of this powerful research progress! #DriventoDiscover 🍉 cse.umn.edu/chem/news/ha...

Have any chemistry grad students been affected by the NSF MPS-Ascend fellowship being archived?

Cheng-Hsin's recent patent application served as a basis for for the 3rd place winners of MN Crucible Prize competition who pitched her nanoparticles as "Innovative Elements" for #PFAS remediation. Congrats to the winners + Cheng-Hsin! Read about the patent here: patents.google.com/patent/US202...

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy: a half-century historical perspective Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has evolved significantly over fifty years into a powerful analytical technique. This review aims to achieve five main goals. (1) Providing a comprehensive h...

New review article out in Chemical Society Reviews @roysocchem.bsky.social featuring @clh731.bsky.social + many co-authors providing a historical perspective on Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy! #SERS

@clh731.bsky.social kicking off our department’s biannual Strengthening Climate event yesterday! The topic was on Effective Strategies for Engaging Everyday Conflict led by Julie Showers!

Hi #ChemSky! @cenmag.bsky.social and I want to learn how the chemistry community might be affected by any immigration policies currently being proposed for 2025.

If you might be impacted and can give any insight, I'd really appreciate if you could fill out this form: forms.office.com/r/87NQhFKrFh

Wow, this seems so hard to find! I zoomed in and increased my brightness but I don’t think I could ever spot this.

Oh God 😂

Okay, I see it!

WHY do some places no longer serve fries with a burger? Like you have to pay an additional $3 to “upgrade” for fries? 🙄

It’s okay, we’ll get you a floatie !!!

Here’s some Friday afternoon motivation to get us through the day (and maybe even the rest of the month😵‍💫). #chemsky

You can migrate to Instagram reels 😂

Beyond the job description when it should be the bare minimum!! It’s hard, but you are clearly doing amazing and I love that for you 🥰🙂

Sad that so many people think that it’s *not* part of the job. 🙄

Maybe their first post is a sign that it’s in the works 😬.

Good news, Altmetric has now started watching BlueSky for mentions of publications. And by the way, provides an easy comparison between this and the old site for a recent preprint of mine which I posted simultaneousl at both. Numbers speak by themselves !

Love this!! I see LSPR and automatically think of SERS. Have you thought of an application for these nanoparticles?

Thanks for making this! I’d love to be added along with @clh731.bsky.social and @hayneschemlab.bsky.social!

Hey #chemsky, meet our new first year, Yu (Cheryl) Chen, who has a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Guangdong University and a master’s degree in chemical engineering from Northeastern University! Her thesis work will focus on developing silica nanoparticles for agriculture! #nanosky

When you say works in, do you mean already published work? I know someone, but the work is in early stages and more on the applied side of using chirality (and not exactly proteins, but can be translated to it).

So @altmetric.com is now tracking on @bsky.app too! Flagging for #Chemsky

This is great - thanks for sharing!!

Sometimes I go to random seminars (v out of my field) just to see #chemsky people IRL.

Carbon Dots and Duckweed: An Artistic Journey When I received my acceptance to the CSN Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) Program last spring, I was so excited for the opportunity to immerse myself in a whole new field of chemistr…

Our former summer researcher, Chinny, wrote a blog post about her project that also includes a fun #sciart component (scroll to the end)! #chemsky #nanosky #scicomm #pfas
