International PhD scholarship round for 2026 is open at ANU. Aspiring scholars with Masters degree, or equivalent (eg Australia/NZ Hons), interested in computational chemistry, quantum information, molecular spins, vibronic coupling, or something in that vein - get in touch!
I really don't get the capitalisation choice in any of his tweets. It's not even hitting the right emphasis words (eg ANY). I guess someone's PhD thesis Will be On this stuff.

A new ‘molecular GPS’ method can help scientists see drug-binding interactions more clearly. Dr Martyna Judd says that understanding drug-protein interactions better can help optimise drug design and prevent side effects. science.anu.edu.au/news-events/...
Could the invention of ‘molecular GPS’ help us develop better medicines?
Just like how GPS triangulates your location using satellites, scientists can now place labels at different positions around the surface of a protein to visualise drug-binding interactions more clearl...

nothing would make me happier than US science returning to the amazing and transformational legacy of success and dominance but if that's not possible, we need other places with the vision to take over as the pacesetter humanity's long term success demands no less

Prof Rachel Oliver@profrachelgan.bsky.social · last yr.Has anyone invented an AI that can accurately plan complicated, multi-day, multi-destination train trips? This would be so much more useful to academics than the current functionality of doing a bad job of undergraduate assignments.

A fluorobenzene-bound dysprosium half-sandwich dication single-molecule magnet
Dysprosium single-molecule magnets (SMMs) with two mutually trans-anionic ligands have shown large crystal field (CF) splitting, giving record effective energy barriers to magnetic reversal (Ueff) and hysteresis temperatures (TH). However, these complexes tend to be bent, imposing a transverse field that red
