Interested in the magnetism of noncentrosymmetric rare-earth + transition-metal quaternary sulfides? Check out our latest article in @ChemMater Interplay of 3d and 4f Magnetism in Chiral Y6FeSi2S14 and Tb6FeSi2S14 Chalcogenides | Chemistry of Materials https://t.co/ISopYxzayo
pubs.acs.org
The family of chiral, noncentrosymmetric, quaternary sulfides R6(TM)x(E)2Q14 (R = rare-earth metal; TM = transition metal; E = Si, Ge, Sn, Al, or Ga; and Q = S or Se) presents an exciting opportunity...

Grateful for the blessings that have come our way in Aggieland the past decade and for the kindness and support of the Aggies. In 2025, we will start a new chapter @ETH_DCHAB @ETH_en @psich_en -excited to join two storied institutions and looking forward to what comes next
Welcome @ETH_DCHAB : Sarbajit Banerjee @SarbajitBanerj1 , currently Professor at Texas A&M University in College Station, USA, is appointed as Full Professor of Battery Materials in the Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences! https://t.co/4xtfmHYLf5

If you havenāt seen it yet, check out our recent work on the synthesis of an unusual all-inorganic helical material out now in @NatureMaterials! @UCIChemistry @UCIPhysSci
Helical motifs in dense inorganic solids have remained exceedingly scarce. Now a type of 1D van der Waals helical crystal, GaSeI, is presented that manifests the rare quasi-periodic Boerdijk-Coxeter helix motif. @MaxxSolidChem @UCIrvine

Remember the summer when we were all crazy about #LK99? Our paper that helped debunking it is now published in @PhysRevB . check it out here: https://t.co/IpCBZLaUNC
journals.aps.org
Doped lead apatite (LK-99) has been proposed as a candidate ambient temperature and pressure superconductor, a dramatic claim requiring careful investigation from experiment and theory. Here, the...

Hard disagree here. The problem is not a lack in precision of the analysis but a lack in proof that any predicted new material has actually been made. AI could very well made up materials that donāt exist. So far based on the analysis here, proof that these can be made is lacking

On the flipside of the hype: "Kohli also says... there are no current plans to release the GNoME model. He cites safety considerationsāthe software could theoretically be used to dream up dangerous materials, he says." I'm sorry, but this ain't it. At all. 1/3

This exciting paper shows AI design of materials, robotic synthesis. 10s of new compounds in 17 days. But did they? This paper has very serious problems in materials characterisation. In my view it should never have got near publication. Hold on tight let's take a look š±
š Exciting News! Our A-Lab has revolutionized inorganic materials discovery! Combining ab-initio calculations, historical data from literature, and robotic testing, we're rapidly uncovering new compounds. š¤ https://t.co/wRFu5slz68

Harry Gray is the greatest chemical mind of our time. He has consistently rooted for the underdog (black, women, gays) to a level that is UNTHINKABLE for people of his generation. If you arenāt celebrating this man, youāve missed the point entirely.
