📢 The 7th Crystal Structure Prediction (CSP) Blind Test results are out! CSP, predicting a crystal structure from a 2D formula, is a grand challenge in chemistry. Solving it would expedite world changing R&D. This test lets scientists advance methods. https://t.co/XvW7NDs3rk

Desperate times call for desperate measures: Has anyone a ticket to sell for one of the David Gilmour gigs in London? 😔

I don't know why this is on my feed. It makes nervous seeing Yamazaki 18 with so much ice. 😱😱😱

This is very telling. Too many people have not seen The Deer Hunter. Very sad...

A few thoughts about a new🔥 landmark study🔥by @AICooperGroup and @graeme_day: https://t.co/hRtwhnVmeU Many thanks to @NatureNV for letting me have a go at it.
A series of designer porous organic salts greatly expands the range of materials that could potentially be tailored to trap molecules — as needed for applications such as carbon capture. @DKBucar explains all

Designing molecular crystals using ionic interactions.🤯 Very daring and ambitious, beautifully executed! Congratulations to @AICooperGroup, @graeme_day & Co. What's next?
Just published in @Nature, our new paper with @graeme_day's group, "Porous isoreticular non-metal organic frameworks" (N-MOFs). Congratulations to @MeganCarla1 who led this work during her PhD at @LivUni 🎉 https://t.co/FKyYMFcPir 🧵1/10

Caroline converted to crystal engineering. Welcome to the flock!✌️
At the heart of my research: Intricate design of molecules, linking intentional structural changes with suitability for application - in this case the inkjet printing of metal circuitry. An epic tale... https://t.co/mIPlLdeiKq

Look at the smiles and the enthusiasm! And where would we be without #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM ??? (=in a bad place)
Happy international day of women and girls in science! Proud to say I’ve worked with some of the best! Keep killin’ it gals! 🔥 #WomenInScienceDay #WomenInSTEM

Ooo! Turns out to be a 'Hot Paper'. Many, many thanks to the reviewers for their support and constructive criticism. And to @angew_chem and its editorial team. They were very understanding and patient (not only with the 'small' changes in the proofs stage).

So, CSP entered the MOF universe! It's a great follow-up on the foot-in-thee-door paper: https://t.co/Z7fjYNg3VY…. Very cool, very relevant! Congratulations!

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as highly versatile materials with applications in gas storage and separation, solar light energy harvesting and photocatalysis. The design of new MOFs,...
Our work on the design of hypergolic MOFs using ab initio crystal structure prediction is out in @J_A_C_S ! Thanks to @Catherine_Xuyz , Joseph Marrett, @hatemtiti85 James Darby, @condensedmatter and @TomislavFriscic

Lots of monies very wisely invested. Congratulations to the @ERC_Research! 😄
Delighted to have been awarded an #ERCCoG grant to discover new wide band gap conducting oxides! Looking forward to starting this in @UoBChemistry in September! @uob_bear @eps_unibham

Lots of great papers and wisdom to look forward to. Congratulations!
Extremely excited and grateful to have been awarded an @ERC_Research consolidator grant. It will enable me to investigate the influence of solution structure on the crystallisation outcome. #ERCCoG #Dis2Order

It was challenging, a source of great frustration, but also of a lots of joy. Not possible without @Dritan_Hasa_, @germann_luzia, #Elvio, #Oxana, #Antonietta, #Elvio, #Dario, #Robert and support from @DSCF_UniTS, @UCLChemistry @DiamondLightSou and @mpifkf

Nobody needs a cocrystal of PEG, right? But that's not the point... Here's a little summary of a proof-of-principle study focused on polymer cocrystals, just hot off the press @angew_chem. (1/n) https://t.co/umUZwz0oNV
