Very good news for the Goodwin group! We've been awarded ERC StG to expand our f-element research in new directions. Big thanks to reviewers and panel, and the group - keep growing crystals! I can't thank the people that helped make this a reality enough! #ERCStG @ERC_Research

βIf somebody doesn't help me, I'm going to die," she recalls wailing, watching doctors and nurses pass her by. "Somebody said to me, 'I don't know what you expect me to do,'" she said. "'You're a healthy 21-year-old young female.'" This is exactly what happened to me at 24β¦ π§΅

Democracy doesnβt die in darkness, it dies under billionaires.
A WaPo endorsement for president had been written and was ready to publish before Jeff Bezos decided the paper would not endorse.

I am beyond excited to share some more research with @MunzDominik! Our recent contribution on a Pb(II) substituted triplet carbene was accepted in @J_A_C_S. Read e.g. below how it teaches toluene some gymnastics! π€Έπ₯ Thanks a lot(!!) to the whole team!

Reaction of the pincer-type ligand L3 supported complex [L3PbBr][BArF24] (1) with Li[(C(βN2)TMS)] furnishes [L3Pb(C(βN2)TMS)][BArF24] (2). Diazo-compound 2 eliminates dinitrogen upon irradiation...

Update: ORCA 6 ran the frequency calculations just fine. ORCA 5.0.4 ran out of memory.
Blown away by the performance improvements in geometry optimisation in @faccts_orca ORCA 6. Same 157-atom U(IV) complex, same server architecture, same settings (SlowConv, NoTRAH). 9hrs. ORCA 6 = 47 cycles and done. ORCA 5.0.4 = 3 cycles. #CompChem

You can visit this very room at @OfficialUoM in the Rutherford building. Very cool to stand in the place where the atom was split! It's still got the same tiles!
In 1909, Ernest Rutherford and his assistants, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden, conducted a series of experiments at the University of Manchester, where they fired a beam of alpha particles at a thin gold foil. They surrounded the foil with a fluorescent zinc sulphide screen to
