The most hilarious description of MOFs today was the comparison to Hermione Granger’s handbag

It's with great sadness to announce the passing of Michel Fouré--a great mentor and friend. Here's a photo of us in 2015, when we were exploring lab-to-market transitions for our microporous polymer membranes, leading to the creation of @SepionTech

We hosted good friend, Prof Reinhold Dauskardt, of Stanford University. Great catching up on topics related to the science of advanced manufacturing of nanostructured materials at low cost, large area, and commercially relevant line speeds

Humbled to receive the Henry H. Storch Award in Energy Chemistry from @AmerChemSociety. I have had the privilege of mentoring early career scientists and working with outstanding collaborators, which has contributed to my passion and drive. See you in Atlanta!

We have 5 openings for technologist positions. You find the job descriptions and additional details on my LinkedIn post https://t.co/FUMmVS97Bx

I'm presenting OMol25 tomorrow 7/29 at 9 AM PST as part of a talk series at Google. Learn how we built the dataset + how MLIPs trained on OMol are revolutionizing comp chem! Meet: https://t.co/ggX6mOPjS1 YouTube Stream: https://t.co/1fgjLaxtAM Join group:

@ReimerLab @molecularfndry @BerkeleyLab @UCB_Chemistry @PolySpectra I misspelled Allen Xu’s last name inadvertently. Deep apologies. Not sure how that happened.

Fantastic collab with Zhen (Allen) Zhu, Mason Whitko, Hongqian Zheng, Julia Im, Shira Haber, Ankita Ghosh, Max Venetos, Jeffrey Reimer, and Kristin Persson @ReimerLab @molecularfndry @BerkeleyLab @UCB_Chemistry @PolySpectra

Just out in @J_A_C_S! We demonstrate resin-to-resin circularity in cycloolefin resins crosslinked with DCPD. Catalyst choice, co-monomers, post-processing of 3D printed and conventional parts dictate efficacy and bounds for regeneration.

With ~180K materials and millions of calculated properties, the Materials Project enables inverse design, synthesis screening, and discovery. Examples include phosphors, thermoelectrics, electrides, and battery electrolytes. Horton et al, Nature Materials https://t.co/cLuFg01mmA

Saddened to hear of the passing of luminary scientist, Gabor Somorjai. With Gabor, @BerkeleyLab has led the way in understanding materials through their surfaces, be that structure, dynamics, sorption, and transformations relevant to energy applications. He will be missed.

Just out in @ACSEnergyLett! We demosntrate electrochemical Li+ enrichment in mixed-cation brines with antiselective cation-exchange PIM membranes. Collab with Mike Baird, Ryan Kingsbury, Gan Chen, Mike Whittaker @molecularfndry @advlightsource @Princeton https://t.co/F0v4tW8ayY

The call will close soon! 4 PhD Positions in Nanoscience at IIT-UniGe Italy!

MLIP evaluation: Matbench Discovery focuses on predicting stability; universal interatomic potentials (UIPs) are top performers w/ ~5X improvement in discovery efficiency. Regression accuracy not the same as discovery! @jrib_ et al., Nat. Mach. Intell. https://t.co/xwNSuIiHNF

Electrochemical PVC borylation is now online! Great job materials team! https://t.co/qpYpuZ6UhD

🎉 Congrats to Cyclotron Road on 10 years of hard-tech innovation! As @ENERGY's longest-running Lab-Embedded Entrepreneurship Program (LEEP), CR has shown what's possible when we unite science entrepreneurs with the resources of our national labs. 🙌🏽

You're looking at the future of #electrochemistry, the class of #NGenE2025. We conclude an intense week of discussions, networking and gelling of ideas. They're ready to reach and conquer the frontiers. We can't wait to see what they do next!

@energystoragera @UMich Thanks @steingart @GroupHelms #UNIGRID and Toyota Research for the wonderful panel discussion on the future of Na and Zn #Electrochemistry!

We are excited to share our most recent publication in @ScienceMagazine in collaboration with the Pinnau group at KAUST: “Microporous polyimine membranes for efficient separation of liquid hydrocarbon mixtures”
