Check out our paper from @Hermanslab , where we realized a very simple way to drive systems chemically: to repurpose a catalytic cycle as a chemical reaction cycle, now published in @J_A_C_S

Participated in #ISMSC2025 in Kyoto. It was a great opportunity to meet old and new friends, particularly in Japan. Also, learned a lot about latest works of supramolecular & systems chemistry. Huge thanks to the organizers!

Joined the Functional Nanomachines Workshop hosted by @foresightinst in San Francisco. Thanks for the organizers, it was a great experience!

Attended #mach5. Thanks to organizers Prof. Credi @RainerHerges @CorraStef @Mass_Curcio and people interacting with me, amazing conference!

This approach will enable design of chemically driven systems based on wealth of knowledge accumulated in the field of catalysis, thereby significantly lowering the barrier for designing new systems as well as increasing the systems’ diversity.

Specifically, we realized transient self-assembly of aldehyde monomer by driving this system with aldehyde-catalyzed hydrolysis of ester fuel. The magnitude of conversion to assembling species as well as the size and number of assembled structures could be controlled by pH.

In contrast to previous reaction cycles that combine multiple reactions and therefore often experience unwanted cross-reactivity, our current approach uses inherently compatible reactions since they have been taken from a known catalytic cycle.

One of big challenges in the field of nonequilibrium systems' chemistry is to develop new reaction cycles, which supply chemical energy. We realized a simple and general approach to this challenge, which is to repurpose a known catalytic cycle as a chemical reaction cycle.

Trip to Iceland🌋🐴🏔️

Happy to have contributed to this work of chemically driven endergonic adaptation🎉It may not be obvious, but this system is based on a Brownian ratchet-like mechanism. Thanks to all the team, kudos to @ShaymaaSh4 for leading the project.

Had a great time at @EuChemS_Congres #ECC9, lots of inspiring encounters and discussions. Thanks to organizers and people I met. The second picture is unexpected encounter with topologies on visiting @BookOfKellsTCD at Trinity College Dublin. Also marvelous.

Arrived at Dublin for @EuChemS_Congres 🇮🇪Looking forward to encountering cool people and inspiring research!

A lot of memorable encounters, great event. Thanks to the organizers! @rschulmanphd @rafalklajn.

RT @JonBeves: @EPenocchio showed that although “power strokes” are fundamentally flawed that they should be considered as a design feature….

Happy to be selected among the finalists! Looking forward to presenting our works at .@EuChemS_Congres EYCA final session.

Chemistry Today May. I liked the article about fluorescent probe for super-resolution microscopy. Theoretical limit of optical microscopy could be surpassed by adding some "plus X" that was not included in theory. Seems established field (2014 Nobel Prize), but still impressed.

Reading a chapter by Dr Sergey Semenov @LabSemenov in "Out-of-Equilibrium (Supra)molecular Systems and Materials". Really helpful for learning design rules of chemical reaction networks that show emergent properties like oscillations and pattern formation.
