Linking vibrational energetics to carbon isotope separation in CO2 electrolysis #chemsky
Molecular engineering stabilizes the commensurate charge density wave state in 1T-TaS2/arginine hybrid superlattices #chemsky
Athina Anastasaki & ETH Zurich colleagues have developed what they say is the first low temperature chemical recycling of acrylic, taking place below 200°C & requiring no solvents or light irradiation, boosting the possibility of commercial scale-up.
Join Geraint Pumford from SOCOTEC for “Looking Ahead at Future PFAS Challenges.” Discover the evolving landscape and key analytical considerations for environmental testing.

Something different, a #ChemEd #Chemistry #ChemSky intro to mass spectrometry. It just gives a high level overview, focusing on the spectrum, the peaks (molecular ion, isotope & fragment peaks) & the types of data (not how it is generated) & the 'fun' of different definitions for mass.
Wake up and smell the coffee on #NationalCoffeeDay! Here are some of the compounds that give coffee its distinctive aroma: www.compoundchem.com/2015/02/17/c... ☕️

Robert Millikan, 115 years ago this month, showed that electricity was quantized into electrons (and gave a value for Avogadro's number) with his famous oil-drop experiment in Phys Rev 32 (1911), 349-97. #ChemSky #Chemchat 🧪 Read the long paper here: www.columbia.edu/~mm21/exp_fi...
Universidad Complutense de Madrid is hiring:
Predoctoral Researcher Position in Development of Nanomaterials
Double-clicking an atom in ChemDraw used to add a label. Now it adds a bond. This is EVIL. Why mess with muscle memory that's been going for years?! 🤬
By the way, it's now Option + click (Mac) or Alt + click (Windows).

Researchers made a swallowable battery from a rice paper–like material and body-compatible elements:

This afternoon we had the annual UCL Chemistry Ramsay Medal symposium during which the winner of the Ramsay Medal for the best graduating PhD student in the department is decided #chemsky
I got a guy arguing that alcohols and phenols are distinct functional groups, to the extent that calling a phenol an “alcohol” is incorrect. What say you, #chemsky?!
Does anyone have a virtual titration they like to use with students? I'm out for over a week coming up and I need my AP chem class to do one virtually for now so they don't stall out.
Biologists who focus on human cells can tend to think of bacterial metabolism as a bizarre riot, irrelevant to their own fields. But researchers report that an eight-membered sulfur ring, once thought to be a bacterial curiosity, is produced in mammalian cells too.

Big congrats to Dr. Elle Lewandowski, who successfully defended her dissertation this morning at #wsuchemistry. In a few weeks, she will begin her next chapter as a research scientist at BASF. #phddefense #chemsky
