wait… so he could technically be king without title? Not that any of it makes sense, but this even fails the internal logic of a monarchy.

zotero is the best for me by far.

Doctoral Researcher (PhD) in Magnetic Resonance with Photo-Excited Molecules

I am looking for PhD students for projects involving photo-excited states, EPR, and NMR. If you're interested or know someone suitable, please let me know!

That post hits home.

Building things, and knowing how to build things, is important!

Our long awaited equipment installations began this week with the set up of our 600 Evo standard bore magnet for solid-state NMR!

Doug Lyons from @brukercorporation.bsky.social will be pumping the magnet soon, and charging sometime next week.

Several funded PhD positions available in pulsed EPR and pulsed DNP at ETH Zurich, starting June 2026, as part of a Starting Grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation, Nino Wili @ninowili.bsky.social Group Leader at ETH Zurich www.ninowili.ch #NMRchat #NMRjobs 🧲

EPR is going strong in Magnetic Resonance, the community journal of the Groupement AMPERE.

egg content? flour composition? porosity? different drying process? The latter is actually really complicated. it is very difficult to make dry pasta at home that isn‘t brittle, for example.

I guess you can change the shims, but it will be difficult to improve the homogeneity/lineshape like that.

Don‘t forget its EPR spectra

So excited to announce the first 🧲 Next Austrian NMR Meeting 🧲, happening @ ISTA, Feb 26–27, 2026! Plus a satellite workshop, 💊 “ #NMR in #DrugDiscovery” 🧭 on Feb 25!

📅 Registration: Dec 1, 2025

LOL, of course! Big(-ish) magnets, tiny magnets (spins), pulsed magnets, microwaves, radio-frequencies, and light :D

Extremely happy to announce that I was awarded an @snsf.ch starting grant to lead my own project @ethz.ch starting next year! 🎉
Thanks to everyone who supported and encouraged me along the way! Exciting times ahead. (Will be looking for doctoral students soon-ish).

@soziopolis.bsky.social hat ein sehr lesenswertes Dossier zum Thema Frauen in der Wissenschaft veröffentlicht. @amreibahr.bsky.social und ich sind mit einem Beitrag zu #IchBinHanna vertreten! www.soziopolis.de/ziel-erkannt...

A paper describing the performance of our new TWT powered 263 GHz pulse EPR spectrometer is now available as a preprint

Greetings Bluesky people. Please don’t be vampires like at the other place

Appreciate shares and maybe some patience while I try this new way to navigate the many different chem communities across social media. 🫰

In our recently submitted grants we had to change “traumatic brain injury” to “concussive brain injury” and “male and female mice” to “male and non-male mice” because traumatic and female are now verboten words that can get our grants killed. It’s insanity.

Selective isotope labeling probes the chemical capacity and reaction mechanism of a heterobimetallic Mn/Fe protein The R2-like ligand binding oxidase (R2lox) forms a novel tyrosine-valine crosslink upon O2 activation, reflecting an overall two-electron oxidation re…

Congrats, Josephine and the team!! Check out our newest mechanistic deep dive into R2lox: Isotope labeling and EPR spectroscopy reveal that this Mn/Fe enzyme activates C–H bonds to form a unique Tyr–Val crosslink via a Mn⁴⁺/Fe⁴⁺ intermediate.

Is it worth it making your own biscuits? or whatever they are called in english.

a molecule of tyrosine. In the aromatic ring is a cartoon face of Neil DeGrasse Tyson....so this is Neil deGrasse Tyrosine. Oh it gets worse folks....much worse.

So what can/does it do? Do you have an example for EPR?

for the rent and machines anymore. Science funding is much more than just subsidies.

Hi Art, I agree with this part. But there are no „customers“ and the money is not „investment“ in the sense that you have to pay back with more money. I am not saying that this rhetoric caused these dillusional funding cuts, but imagine a Bagel shop owner complaining that the government doesn‘t pay

While I agree with the text in the big scheme of things, and I am also worried about the US and its science in particular, I find it rather surprising that even in this context, you refer to your research group as a business.
