Estimating the convergence of MetaD usually requires a-posteriori analysis. Moreover the sampling obtained while tuning simulation parameters goes unused. Antoniu developed an approach (& code) to tackle these issues: https://t.co/91MtvReEer @Realworldxstals @uclchemeng

We hope everyone enjoyed the one-day symposium around "Crystallisation in the Real World" held in Leeds by @Realworldxstals. We want to thank the organisers and all the participants for this great event!

Come join us in Leeds! We are recruiting a Research Fellow in 4D Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM). If you are interested in state-of-the-art electron and ion beam microscopy and characterising new and exciting materials, look at:

🎉The Bragg Exchange 2024 registration is OPEN! The @UniversityLeeds's flagship materials science research symposium will include talks from distinguished material science experts and poster sessions for you to shine a light on your research! Register: https://t.co/KU8MOWgma9

New publication in Environmental DNA from our Project Co-I, Dr Colin Freeman of University of Sheffield, 'Survival of environmental DNA in sediments: Mineralogic control on DNA taphonomy'

Our review on "Molecular simulation approaches to study crystal nucleation from solutions" is out & open access in WIRES Computational Molecular Science! Thanks to @Sossogroup & the anonymous reviewers for their feedback! @Realworldxstals @uclchemeng https://t.co/EDaQJgZW6U

I am very happy to share my first First-Author publication, now published in @JCIM_JCTC : https://t.co/xJzIjYYuvs We present a method to construct approximations of expensive CVs, that can be used in enhanced sampling simulations and show how to recover the analytical FESs.

🚨 Job Opportunity! 📢 We are looking for a Head of X-ray Analytical Facilities at the Bragg Centre! If you're an experienced XRD research professional with knowledge of other x-ray techniques we would love for you to apply! 📅Closes 12th November https://t.co/dAiUpQrEdf

Developing optimal models of reaction coordinates for MD sims is an interdisciplinary challenge! We seek a PhD student (UK/EU/OS) to attack this problem with genetic programming under the guidance of @ericsfraga (lead) and @matteoslvlgl. RTs welcome! https://t.co/ZqRoLBtgcG

Come work with us in Leeds! 3-year post-doc in advancing analysis of amorphous and crystalline phases in metal–organic framework (MOF) composites. @LEMAS_UK @BraggRoyceLeeds

James Coe from University of Warwick updating us on ‘Understanding the Mechanism of Fluidiser Action in Hydration of Plaster to Gypsum’

Dr Steph Foster of University of Leeds giving her second presentation of the meeting on ‘Porous Calcite Crystals for Structural Colour’ @LEMAS_UK

Dimitrios Valavanis, Marlene Hill and Joshua Magiera from @Warwick_Echem University of Warwick presenting on ‘Operando Optical Monitoring of Crystallisation in Confinement’

Scientific presentations included Florian Dietrich @floriandietrix, PhD candidate at @UCL_MMEgroup joining us for the first time explaining the Nucleation work he is doing

A busy 3 days at our Annual General Meeting in Leeds this week – so many fascinating presentations. Special thanks to our Advisory Board members Jim de Yoreo, Julian Gale, Susan Stipp and Amit Kumar for joining us and providing their valued feedback.

New research from Warwick and @OfficialUoM has found that perfect graphene crystals are permeable to protons - and that protons are strongly accelerated around nanoscale wrinkles and ripples in the crystal. Read the full story:
