Does my head look big in this 😅🤣

Many congratulations 🎉

...after 14 years of trying, it feels very weird during these times to say, I just got my first NIH grant awarded... if I can avoid ugly crying during this next zoom call it might be a minor miracle

Selective templating growth of chemically inert low-dimensional interfaces for perovskite solar cells - Nature Energy Low-dimensional perovskites afford high efficiencies in solar cells but at the expense of stability. Rao et al. develop a template growth approach to form low-dimensional perovskites from low-reactivity and hence more stable organic cations.

Yeng Ming Lam, Tze Chien Sum, and teams present a templating growth strategy for low-dimensional perovskites based on low-reactive cations to improve the stability of interfaces in high-efficiency perovskite solar cells.

Sorry 😥

I got off and pushed LOL

Like today 😵‍💫

So they're not really the bane of my life I guess, only occasionally 😅

TOC graphics are the bane of my life; always rushed, always a bit shit. Thankfully I don't publish much LOL

Thanks, past Cath, for writing 'CHECK REFERENCE LATER'. It's later now. It's definitely later.

Monday morning lab selfie. Have a great week #chemsky friends ⚗️🧪🙏

Only that I am a human, which seems increasingly difficult to do these days 😅

Today in Chemistry History graphic on Rosalind Franklin and the structure of DNA. Rosalind Franklin was a chemist and X-ray crystallographer whose work was instrumental in the discovery of the structure of DNA. She missed out on a Nobel Prize for her work as they are not awarded posthumously. Photograph 51 is an X-ray diffraction image of DNA taken during Franklin’s research. It was crucial in developing a model of DNA and confirming its double helical structure.

Rosalind Franklin was born #OTD in 1920. She was a chemist and crystallographic who made a key contribution to the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA: www.compoundchem.com/2017/07/25/f...

Crystallography legend Rosalind Franklin was born 105 years ago today. In addition to her seminal work on the structure of DNA, in her tragically short life she did foundational work in the structure of viruses and coal.

Crystal Structures of XeF2·2PtF4 and XeF2·2PdF4 Determined by 3D Electron Diffraction and Structural Models of XePtF6 Although the demonstration of noble-gas reactivity represents one of the most significant breakthroughs of 20th-century inorganic chemistry, the first noble-gas compound, XePtF6 (XeF2·PtF4), lacks com...

We used 3D electron diffraction to elucidate the crystal structures of XePt₂F₁₀ and XePd₂F₁₀. Based on these findings, we propose structural models for the first noble-gas compound, XePtF₆.
