I am pretty glad to have invented the cSLIC sequence: a solution to a fundamental defect of pulse sequences that are sensitive to RF mismatch and gateway to better hyperpolarization performance in PHIP (and perhaps even DNP). #nmrchat

Why curling rocks come from just two spots on Earth The rocks used in the Olympic sport of curling come from one island in Scotland and one quarry in Wales. What makes them so special?

Had a blast speaking to curler and geologist Derek Leung about the geology of curling rocks. 🥌 🧪

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!

Have you figured out how / why it happened? Why the man died in the horrific MRI accident on Long Island last July?

Deep sea? Raindrops? Concentrate, buffer, image... FIBRILS! Automated building 🤯

But auto-build failed. Mostly glycans!

Now refining about 10 models per day, and developed an automated sugar build/refinement workflow. Preprint available now.

My first paper together with @dr-dwillcox.bsky.social and other colleagues at Manchester, with PhD student Jake Hemsworth, has just been published. Great fun doing some main group chemistry again! 😃 Thanks Darren for leading this project.

Seeing the Quantum Butterfly Effect A combined experimental and theoretical study reveals the emergence of quantum chaos in a complex system, suggesting that it can be described with a universal theoretical framework.

With the help of scramblon theory, researchers have successfully separated genuine quantum chaos from the imperfections of time reversal in a macroscopic solid-state sample manipulated with NMR.
