Really happy to see this out! We synthesize graphene nanoribbons with zigzag edges and embedded porphyrins—creating a hybrid π–d electron system. While it may have some cool applications, I just can't get over how beautiful this molecule is. Look at the lateral strain Modulation! rdcu.be/eBRkM

Zigzag graphene nanoribbons with periodic porphyrin edge extensions

Nature Chemistry - Graphene nanoribbons with zigzag edges are key candidates for spintronic applications due to their tunable bandgaps and spin-polarized edge states. Now it has been shown that...

Accelerator physicist Helen Edwards was born #OTD in 1936. She was the lead scientist overseeing the design, construction, and operation of the Tevatron particle accelerator at Fermilab. Numerous discoveries have been made with the Tevatron, including the top quark in 1995. 🧪 👩‍🔬 ⚛️ Image: Fermilab

A color photo of Helen Edwards writing something on a poster-sized piece of paper with "The Last Magnet Installed In the Energy Saver" written across the top in calligraphic letters. Edwards is wearing a denim shirt and a blue jean jacket. There are pens in her breast pocket. She is smiling and looking sown at the poster. Edwards has a halo of short, curly hair. Two mean stand in the background, one in a dark suit and red tie, the other in a brown work jacket.

Hello––Is A River Alive? is published in the US & Canada on 20 May. I am coming on tour––dates & locations below––& would love to speak of the book’s ideas, people & rivers to as many folk as possible while I'm out there. Please let anyone know who you think might want to come to an event. Cheers!

anyway, I would need a lot more evidence to believe that 90% of college students in early 2023 were using ChatGPT for homework, and if we are going to berate the Youth for intellectual laziness, let's at least make sure we apply some amount of rigor to the data we're using to do it, please

The story of biochemist Muriel Bristol aka "a lady tasting tea"! Milk or tea first? Does it matter? Can you tell? The null hypothesis was designed with that question in mind. The story is in Steeped, too. Conversations around tea also led to De Hevesy's development of isotopic tracing (Nobel 1943)

Scientific experiments run today are based on research practices that evolved out of a British tea-tasting experiment in the 1920s.

1+1=2? Not always! Topology matters to boost the Reverse Intersystem Crossing in extended #INVEST compounds. Thanks to Gaetano Ricci, Yoann Olivier, and Alessandro Landi for this nice work published in Advanced Optical Materials #theochem #compchem #OLEDs #theochemsky #compchemsky #chemsky

Enhancing Reverse Intersystem Crossing with Extended Inverted Singlet–Triplet (X−INVEST) Systems

Extended systems with an inverted singlet–triplet gap (X-INVEST) are designed by merging two INVEST cores in a Uthrene-like architecture. The energy proximity characterizing the four lowest excited s....

People are going to be protesting in front of Sen. McCormick office in downtown Pittsburgh to urge him to stand with Ukraine and against the White House's disrespectful behavior towards our allies. I will be speaking there. Monday at noon! Come if you can! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A small human (6?) with a Bluey backpack and an oversized pink baseball cap steps off a school bus and walks straight into her mum's outstretched arms. A big warm hug and an excited recounting of the day follows as they wander home.(1)

I lost my job at the National Science Foundation yesterday, along with 167 of my colleagues, including some dear friends. This was the best job I've ever had, and I thought it would be my last. The PI community has been sympathetic and supportive, without exception. I will miss working for you.

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A man (18?) and a woman (20s?) are walking down the street. As they pass a pharmacy she throws up her hands: "You HECKLED a poetry recital. WHO DOES THAT?!" He shrugs: "I dunno. Uhm. Me... Sorry?" and laugh-yelps when she thumps him in the ribs. (1)

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines. The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds. It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

Spent a few days feeling bad because I thought the grant I was applying for one could add up to 10 achievements, and I didn't have that many. Then while uploading my "achievements" realized the maximum is just three... Well clearly reading comprehension isn't one of mine.
