📢 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.

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. 😱😱😱

A few thoughts about a new🔥 landmark study🔥by @AICooperGroup and @graeme_day: rdcu.be/dIP3H
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.

Designing molecular crystals using ionic interactions.🤯
Very daring and ambitious, beautifully executed! Congratulations to @AICooperGroup, @graeme_day & Co. What's next?

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... onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… @shreyamrig @m_a_bhide @Kristian_Mears @UCLChemistry

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! 🔥

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: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs……. Very cool, very relevant! Congratulations!
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 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

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

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)

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
