2025 was a brilliant year for carbon-based #spinchains, see our @cp-matter.bsky.social Preview: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... wherein we suggest that isotropic spin chain measurements may also benefit from #Inozemtsev Hamiltonians when considering #Heisenberg or #Haldane-Shastry toy models
Carbon nanomaterials with atomic precision: Spin chains from Heisenberg to Haldane-Shastry
The zero-field, low-energy spectrum of recently realized isotropic spin chains could be explained by a family of exactly solvable models and is expect…

Just out: Topological classification of cycloadditions occurring on-surface and in the solid-state
Topological classification of cycloadditions occurring on-surface and in the solid-state
Communications Chemistry, Published online: 03 December 2025; doi:10.1038/s42004-025-01701-0Understanding cycloaddition mechanisms is beneficial for the creation of extended carbon nanostructures, yet traditional models often overlook symmetry-based mechanistic effects. Here, the authors employ topological classifiers to identify symmetry-forbidden pathways in polycyclic aromatic azomethine ylide cycloadditions, revealing that topologically-allowed endothermic reactions can guide nanographene engineering.

If you’re feeling blue and your ion pump doesn’t run smash and smash again We’re close to finding 50 #vacuum surface scientists in #Scisky! Who’s still missing? #Haikurday go.bsky.app/LKyQJm7o
Exciting, is there a 🦋 Automation Starter Pack? Our progress at @fairmat.bsky.social from the #on-surface synthesis #UHV side has been focused on #FAIRAutomation: autointerfacing with #NOMAD & #NOMADcamels, defining every 'bolt and nut' in #NeXuS & running LLMs–We hope to achieve autonomy by 2026🤞
A short teaser of our upcoming book preprint #Gestaltungsmetrik with art historian Horst Bredekamp wherein we attempt to define #holonomy in art, to imagine pot. underlying metric spaces. Thank you so much for the collab. on ribbon-based geodesics @alisonmartin57.bsky.social !
en route for matters-of-activity.de @palmalab.bsky.social
Thank you MK, for being an inspiring mentor and supporting my applications. I would've loved to have more opportunities to discuss—alas, time goes by unjustly fast. My condolences, dear Marci and family.
The Nobel Prize-winning chemist, Martin Karplus, has passed away. A pioneer in the theory and computation of the dynamics of macromolecules. 🧪 #ChemSky
Check out @capalma.bsky.social thoughts on our latest piece, and its pot. role in atomic scale phonon circutry, thermodynamic computing and holonomic vibrational computing
Our latest www.nature.com/articles/s41... marks piece no. 8 since our first NC piece 9y ago www.nature.com/articles/nco... –Therein we proposed that a molecule trapped in a 2D MOF pore could function as a thermal memory at the atomic scale–the smallest container storing thermodynamic states 1/n
Did you know many polymers and supramolecules can exhibit two distinct vibrational phases of matter? Organic topological vibrational phases manifest boundary modes at heavy boundaries and low temp., at conditions similar to extended SSH models. Simulations out now: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
