🧐 Monoradical or diradical — that is the question!

🧩 In our new ChemRxiv preprint, we look underneath the cascades of reactive carbon π-radicals that can host more than one unpaired electron.

Mérité. Je suis nul en électronique, mais vos vidéos me passionne et je suis joie à chaque notif ! 🤓

Je ne sais pas pourquoi on a filé un prix Nobel au type qui a réussi à produire un effet quantique macroscopique, alors que l'inventeur de la machine à laver le linge a depuis longtemps réussi à fabriquer un appareil capable de projeter une chaussette dans une dimension inconnue de l'univers 🤔

I put this to the test with Copilot and yeah, I think it's fair to say that it struggled with the structure of caffeine

🔬 Check out the 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry!

This year’s award goes to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar M. Yaghi for their pioneering work on metal–organic frameworks (#MOFs), highly porous materials that can capture CO₂, store gases, and even pull water from the air!

A Nobel medal

BREAKING: The Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis "for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit"

Stay tuned for more.

Developing new catalysts is tedious hard work, right? Then skip it and let the catalyst make itself! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Hard work of Karolina (congratulations!) and the team is now published in #JOC @acs.org open access, read it!

Yesterday, the UCT of Prague opened its gates for the Science Night.
An opportunity for our group to once more link our research topics with the needs and the interests of the society, and to communicate it to the large public, adults but also children.

Playing a game that I've already seen on kickstarter with academics colleagues.

It's called Publish of perish.

And yes, it's game. Here at least.

Very funny tho. The game I mean.

*Ph.D student presenting his work*
One old professor : "how did you measure the leaching of the Pt catalyst ?"
Ph.D : "well we cool down the..."
Professor: "ok stop stop. It's wrong. It's a big big mistake. Thanks."

Me and the prof with whom I discussed about this type of situation 5min before:
👀👀

That's also the same usually making a presentation with the worst combination of colors, burning your eyes and written in Comic sans MS

In all conferences, there is this old professor falling asleep when you talk and then wake up for the question time and ask you if you considered this obscure paper from a group of 3 people in Siberia, written in 1867 and published a rainy Thursday.

I love this type of humor. That's the best.

And I will sing that to the children for sure.

I still would like to thank the DB driver on the line Neustadt-Nurnberg, the guy helped me when I took the wrong train and went in some lost place lmao

After very literally 1 day in the DB trains, I had the time to read enough handbooks of Quantum mechanics to understand the secret of the matter.

I decided to start a second PhD in the original physic, in parallel to my current one.

Thanks DB 🔥

Do you want photoswitches, that works in solid state and features an "infinitely" stable triplet state in the switched form? Martin has some for you: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a... Congrats to Martin and big thanks to collaboratores. Oh, BTW: it is also an electroswitch and a catalyst, just FYI...
