We discovered something cool! We can make a bunch of different Al-MOFs from a single starting material, Aluminum Formate (ALF). This is because it has a built-in modulator. We also did it using aluminum waste! @unbresearch.bsky.social @chemistryunb.bsky.social pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Robust and sustainable synthesis of Al-based MOFs form waste aluminium

Aluminium MOFs have gained researchers attention for their applications in gas sequestration, water harvesting, drug delivery and chemical storage. Current synthetic methods, however, rely on a variet...

Big thx to Andrew Fisher from @unbresearch.bsky.social #ComputerScience for walking us through their work on #CascadeLearning to the #QuNB group!

Even after 20+ years in physics, the following concepts regularly pay me a visit to play games on my mind: temperature, entanglement, information, action….. today it was *action*. Anybody with a level of understanding beyond _it simply works_ is welcome to hook me up for a coffee!

I don’t remember where I saw this, it was recent, it was probably here. A young academic mom with a ~40° baby asking what universities could do to support young academic parents. A suggestion: provide babysitting services when your kids wake up with a fever!

You have to appreciate the bravery of the mathematical physicist making a case for quantum gravity in a quantum chemistry lab! #qunb #quantum

SciPost is a decade old! 🎉 Looking back, we feel immense gratitude for your engagement and support, without which none of this would have been possible. You are our authors, Fellows, referees, readers, advisors, and sponsors: our everything. We hope you're ready for more; we certainly are.

Featuring our own Caleb Fyffe (transfer learning mutual information indices in proteins), Oluwanifemi Akintola (#compchem DFT exploration in High Entropy Alloys) and Khanh Phung (machine learning electrochem sensor cleaning).

One aspect i like about the current peer reviewing model for conferences is that reviewers can point out their level of confidence and/or familiarity with the subject.

Congrats to (soon-to-be-Dr) Mostafa Javaheri for successfully defending his PhD thesis today! As a true Janos, he defended his work between quantum and bio-chemistry. Well done!

Come join us @uwinnipeg.bsky.social Chemistry! Tenure-track Assistant Professor in Biochemistry. Submit by April 20 for full consideration. Please share widely and DM or email me if you would like more info. #chemjobs #facultychemjobs

What’s the connection between hearing loss, social isolation and dementia onset? A group of doctors brought this question to Dr. Ted McDonald, director of UNB's DataNB institute, and together they dove into the data to find out. Read more about what they discovered: blogs.unb.ca/newsroom/202...

New research sheds light on complex relationship of hearing loss, social isolation and dementia onset

New research by a University of New Brunswick researcher has deepened our understanding of the relationship between hearing loss, social isolation and dementia.

Our paper on “occupancies vs embeddings” received an accolade from the editors at Theor. Acc. Chem @springernature.com . The question we asked over the last few years was: “if a graph neural network learns from DFT potentials, does it _get_ there is an underlying density”? The answer is: maybe yes?

Michael Schuurman from @uottawa.ca /NRC showing how ultrafast spectroscopy can help us better understand isomerization processes in the a/diabatic picture in today’s department seminar.

Awesome to have NRC/@uottawa.ca Michael Schuurman visiting the QuNB lab, here introducing us to a/diabatic couplings. Looking forward to the seminar tomorrow !@chemistryunb.bsky.social

I’m starting to realize the main reason I don’t get replies to my e-mails is not that people are ghosting me, it is that my own e-mails are buried under a pile of other unsent *drafts* stuck in my outbox ….

Today’s seminar in the @chemistryunb.bsky.social department featured our postdoc Omid Tarkhaneh, talking about their PhD work on machine learning HOMO-LUMO gaps using ensemble learning. #compchem

Here’s for a happy winter break for those who had 10+ things on their December list “to finish *absolutely* before the break”, and were able to bring it down to 8+ tonight…. (That is: if we consider an all-nighter to still be part of tonight …. Otherwize: 9+…). #Happy-end-of-2025!! 🥂

Great piece on housing, very relevant to #nbpoli and #cdnpoli given the rise of investment-owners (the great housing grab) and the growing affordability crisis. Plenty of suggestions for provincial and municipal leaders. @jaimepalomera.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
