After almost 2.5 years, we say good bye to Trung. Thank you, Trung, for all the wonderful times, for sharing your chemistry knowledge with us, and for organizing so many fun socializing events including legendary group karaoke nights! We wish you all the best and will miss you! ❤️ @chem.uzh.ch
JuricekLab Group Trip 2026 Gotthard Pass • Airolo • Zug ⛰️🥾 A huge thank you to Paula and Georg for organizing such an amazing group trip, from the beautiful 7 Lakes hike, to the 3-Minute Thesis workshop, and the fun scavenger hunt hike! 💚🙏 @paulawdr.bsky.social @chem.uzh.ch @chemsky.bsky.social
🔬 Experiments, discoveries and the magic of chemistry everywhere 💥⚡️🔥
🥤 What is the secret behind the world's most iconic drink? Let's look at the chemistry of Coca-Cola together. Maybe the most powerful ingredient was never in the bottle... 😉 #CocaCola #Chemistry #Branding #GCMS #ScienceCommunication #chemsky @chemsky.bsky.social
See it with your own eyes! 👀 How your sunscreen really works! ☀️🧴 👇Using just a simple highlighter, we made UV protection visible.👇 #Chemistry #Sunscreen #UVProtection #SPF #SunProtectingFactor @chem.uzh.ch
Daniel, Marvin and Maruan sending greetings from Beijing, where they participate at the largest conference in our field - ISNA. Enjoy guys, and come back with lots of new ideas 🙂🙌 #ISNA #ISNA26 @chem.uzh.ch @chemsky.bsky.social #chemsky #pisky
Welcome back Cyrill! 🤗 After completing his bachelor thesis, he decided to come back for more and pursue his master thesis with us. Apart from his shared passion for chemistry, he also shares another common interest with Paula... Can you guess which one? 👀 #chemsky #pisky @michaljuricek.bsky.social
🍦Ever tried making your own ice cream? You had all the right ingredients, but it still turned out icy instead of creamy. The secret isn't just what you put into it. It’s how fast you freeze it. #LiquidNitrogen #IceCream #FrozenBanana #FoodScience #ChemistryUnwrapped

🤲 What kind of chirality matters to chemists? With @michelrickhaus.bsky.social and @tomsolomek.bsky.social, we revisit the topic of chirality in our new Perspective just published in @chimiajournal.bsky.social www.chimia.ch/chimia/artic... dedicated to chemistry undergraduates✨
Good things come in threes. Earlier this year, Paula published her first paper from her #PhD, now received the CMSZH Travel Award for the best talk at #ChemPosium, and was awarded a UZH Candoc Grant. What a hat-trick! Huge congratulations, Paula! 👏👏👏 @paulawdr.bsky.social @chem.uzh.ch #ChemSky
Molecules can take the high road too, and end up more twisted than they should. In our latest work, kinetic steering funnels the reaction into a single, twisted product, even though several products are possible. chemrxiv.org/doi/full/10.... Big thanks to all co-authors!
Fantastic OC colloq with @michaljuricek.bsky.social from UZH! “Dominos in Reverse” was a brilliant story – fantastic science, beautifully clear slides, and a lively discussion afterwards. Rounded off by a lovely dinner with Ingo Krossing, @werzlab.bsky.social and @jessenlab.bsky.social.

🖥️➡️📱 Remember when monitors occupied half your desk? Today, you carry one in your pocket — with pixels smaller than the width of a human hair. In our latest video, we show how to build a simple OLED device. ⚛️⚡ @michaljuricek.bsky.social @chem.uzh.ch @chemsky.bsky.social #ChemSky
🧪 Can we take caffeine out without killing the flavor? ☕ Decaf might be the perfect drink when we want to avoid a racing heart ❤️⚡, but decaffeination is far more sophisticated than it sounds. @chem.uzh.ch @michaljuricek.bsky.social @juriceklab.bsky.social #CoffeeScience #CaffeineFree
A word of encouragement or a hug can go a long way. It helps us get through journeys where the end is so far away that we cannot even see it. The support of others makes all the difference. So give it if you can, and ask for it if you need it. ❤️ @paulawdr.bsky.social @paulinepfister.bsky.social
↘️ Dominoes usually fall, but in chemistry domino reactions can build. ↗️ Our latest work on π-radical cascades is out for read: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/GWHRX5... @paulawdr.bsky.social @tomsolomek.bsky.social @chem.uzh.ch @angewandtechemie.bsky.social @chemsky.bsky.social #PiSky #ChemSky
The paper of Paula and Leoš is out in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social 🔥💪👏 Congratulations to all co-authors!! Great to see this work out 🥳🥳 @paulawdr.bsky.social @tomsolomek.bsky.social @michaljuricek.bsky.social @chem.uzh.ch
Michal Juríček@michaljuricek.bsky.social · 4mo ago🔥Hot from the owen!🔥 What intermediates matter in the peri-fusion of zigzag edges? Big thanks to @paulawdr.bsky.social, Leoš Valenta, Sabine Richert, @tomsolomek.bsky.social and all co-authors for a great collaboration! @angewandtechemie.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/UHMQHI...
🧼🤫 Soap’s dirty little secret? It’s made from fat. 🙃 That might sound strange, but it’s exactly why soap works so well. ⚗️ #chemsky #Fat #Chemistry #SoapScience #Saponification #Micelles @michaljuricek.bsky.social @juriceklab.bsky.social @chemsky.bsky.social
👻💊🔦🎯 Medicines without side effects? Yes! Chemistry can make drugs active only where they’re needed. How? With photocages acting like invisibility cloaks and near-infrared light as the trigger. Curious? Check out the work of @pstacko.bsky.social www.stacko.group @chem.uzh.ch
Welcome Maya! 🤗 After graduating from high school this year, she decided to join our lab for a couple of months! 💐 Maya will be working under the supervision of Daniel on some exciting fluorophores! ✨ #pisky #chemsky #chemistry @michaljuricek.bsky.social
🪼🔆 Can we GLOW like a jellyfish? YES! We just need the right chemistry.🧪 @chem.uzh.ch @michaljuricek.bsky.social @juriceklab.bsky.social
🧪😱 For many, chemistry is almost a synonym for HORROR. But once you discover how much fun it can be, everything changes. The excitement is real and it’s contagious.💥 Yesterday, I had the pleasure of giving a public talk at SciencePavilion, where I shared what chemistry means to me. @chem.uzh.ch
