Great to see a @unistrathclyde.bsky.social alumnus completing a PhD at @unibe.ch the last of a long line of the transitioning Glaswegians. Congratulations David for his remarkable publication record and well done to you too Eva.

What a beautiful city! I hope you enjoyed it.☺️

Google Scholar tool gives extra credit to first and last authors Researchers welcome the initiative, but say it doesn’t go far enough to capture the nuance of researcher productivity and impact.

Google Scholar has introduced a 'Sh-index' metric that scores papers higher if you are first or last author. Apart from the fact metrics are generally bad, this one explicitly punishes PIs who often collaborate, publishing with 2 or 3 equal PIs at the end of the list.

A bioimmune mechanism-inspired targeted elimination mechanism on the anode interface for zinc–iodine batteries Alkaline byproducts at the zinc anode interface continue to exacerbate subsequent side reactions, so realizing timely salvage of electrodes is equally important compared to upfront prevention strategies. Although the utilization of acid electrolytes could eliminate by-products on the Zn anode, they inevitably exace

Huge thanks to all the organisers of #Dalton2025 - had a brilliant time and saw so much fantastic science! Well done to @mattdv-t.bsky.social from our group for a great presentation on some new aluminium amidinate complexes 🎉 I am also extremely grateful to have won a poster prize!

Due to popular demand, the deadline for submission of abstracts for poster presentations has been extended to 4th April.

We are delighted that the Interest Group will be able to offer bursaries to early career researchers to attend the meeting, with applications opening in the very near future.

The evolution of machine learning potentials for molecules, reactions and materials Recent years have witnessed the fast development of machine learning potentials (MLPs) and their widespread applications in chemistry, physics, and material science. By fitting discrete ab initio data faithfully to continuous and symmetry-preserving mathematical forms, MLPs have enabled accurate and efficient atomi
