Thank you very much @gomobel.bsky.social for highliting our work on @chemistryworld.com. Chiral acyl phosphates meet self-assembly..! Thanks also @claudiabonfio.bsky.social and @jeannecrassousiscr.bsky.social for the very nice comments about our work!!

Really cool stuff by @pappasgroup.bsky.social in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social – chiral chemical fuels drive molecules to self-assemble into different structures, depending on handedness 🧬 My latest for @chemistryworld.com 👉🏼 www.chemistryworld.com/news/chiral-... #ChemSky #RealTimeChem #Chemistry

Have you ever wanted to use computer vision to speed up your materials research, but weren’t sure where to start? High-throughput synthesis can generate huge libraries of new materials. However, characterization often lags behind, becoming the real bottleneck in discovery. [1/6]

Our new preprint 📑 about oscillating chemical reactions ⚗ just came out! arxiv.org/abs/2508.15273 We introduce tools 🛠️ that expand the scope of oscillators that can be analyzed, and use them to extract a lot of new qualitative and quantitative insights about oscillating chemical reactions! 1/3

Stoichiometric recipes for periodic oscillations in reaction networks

Oscillatory chemical reactions are functional components in a variety of biological contexts. In chemistry, the construction and identification of even rudimentary oscillators remain elusive and lack ...

I just found that geckos🦎 don't rely (if not for an estimated 0.1%) on #VanderWaals interactions for their grip, but on 'contact electrification'... and that leaves me disappointed and thrilled at the same time 😶 #ChemSky

Role of contact electrification and electrostatic interactions in gecko adhesion | Journal of The Royal Society Interface

Geckos, which are capable of walking on walls and hanging from ceilings with the help of micro-/nano-scale hierarchical fibrils (setae) on their toe pads, have become the main prototype in the design ...
