a white hand is holding a copy of the book MAUVE by simon garfield next to a latte on a table.

When checking the citations of the book you're writing, do you ever accidentally reread an entire book in one sitting?

Or are you normal?

MAUVE is a lovely mix of chemistry history and fashion history.

I think both the #romancelandia crowd and the #chemsky / #chemchat crowd would love it!

Molecular Solar Thermal (MOST) Energy Storage—Definitions and Requirements Revisited Molecular solar thermal storage (MOST) systems have recently regained great interest after a period of intense research around five decades ago. This perspective clarifies the nomenclature, and intro...

New perspective out! We revisit the foundations of molecular solar thermal storage (MOST) and introduce the term „mostophore“ to describe molecular units that harvest and store solar energy as heat. ☀️ Moreover, we highlight key directions for future solar-energy research.

A screenshot taken by someone on Twitter/X of Elon Musk agreeing with a tweet that shows the EU flag being peeled back to reveal a Nazi one. For Elon’s purposes here Nazis are apparently bad, but you can’t rely on that with him, of course.

The latest from an honored member of the Royal Society. Every week he attacks the foundations of society in the UK and the EU and @royalsociety.org is apparently too worried about retribution to do anything about it.

Twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) based fluorescent probes and imaging agents Twisted Intramolecular charge transfer (TICT)-based fluorescent probes are crucial in chemical sensing due to their sensitivity and specificity. These probes undergo conformational changes upon intera...

Modular strategy opens up new way to synthesise arylated thiophene rings Approach holds potential for creating new drugs and unique optoelectronic materials

Arylating at every position on a thiophene ring has now been made easier with a modular synthetic strategy.

My ask of any science enthusiasts who tell the story of Rosalind Franklin:
Don't make her life be about the DNA debacle. She died far too young, but she was a promising scientist in her own right, a mentor and scientific author.

Not for Watson or Crick, but for her legacy.

Remembering my sister Rosalind Franklin Rosalind Franklin died of ovarian cancer in 1958 aged 37 years. Sympathy and feminism have combined to give us her familiar image as a downtrodden woman scientist, brilliant but neglected, a heroine t...

Her sister wrote my favorite essay about her. She points out that RF would have been famous even if she'd never looked at DNA

We show how lanthanide ions luminescence from visible to NIR can be controlled using photochromic DTE–β-diketonate ligands.
Most of all, we reveal the crucial role of DTE's triplet states in both luminescence sensitization and quenching!

Not the submission process, not reviewer #2, not the editor. Writing the abstract of the paper is often a far greater challenge. And there’s one simple reason for that: most people have a hard time figuring out what’s important for the reader. I ‘ll be sharing tips in next posts - stay tuned!
