I need an explanation please

Hi! We have posted videos for many lectures from the 2025 VWSCC. ORCA workshop vids are here & talks by A. Jain, J. Simons, F. Baletto, T. Carrington, N. Hoffman, S. Lehtola, F. Shakib, G. Miscione, C. Matta, V. Erastova. Enjoy! #chemsky #compuchemsky @vwscc.bsky.social zenodo.org/communities/...

...and the salt research continues!

Culinarily savvy folks in the habit of generously salting their pasta water before bringing it to a boil may notice that the grains fall to the floor of the pan in a ring shape. Someone’s come up with a scientific explanation for that: cen.acs.org/food/food-sc... #ChemistsWhoCook

The Virtual Winter School on Computational Chemistry (vwscc.bsky.social) was amazing! We thank all the wonderful participants of our ORCA workshop (@faccts-orca.bsky.social & @orca-qc-official.bsky.social) and the organizers who made this great event possible! #VWSCC25 #ORCAqc #CompChem #ChemSky

@bernadsz.bsky.social Fantastic session at VWSCC! Does the new microsolvation tool necessarily leave the central molecule(s) rigid? (which is okay but I would like to know). Also can a mix of H2O and H3O+ be used?

Registration is closing after today (Friday) for the 11th Virtual Winter School on Computational Chemistry! Please join us for some terrific talks, all are welcome - registration is free, like the best things in life. #chemsky #compchem winterschool.cc

Students and postdocs-let us have your Single Figure Presentations for the 11th Virtual Winter School on Computational Chemistry, 27th- 31st Jan! You may get to present a 5-minute summary in one of our SFP sessions - a "scientific elevator pitch." Here's an example of an SFP. #bluechem

This news was posted just before finals and so for some strange reason it’s taken this long to share this great project we published on ammonium nitrate nanoparticles. #chemsky cooper.edu/engineering/...

New Research on How Ammonium Nitrate Forms Atmospheric Aerosols

A paper describing research led by Professor of Chemistry Robert Topper has been published online in the Journal of Physical Chemistry A. The first author of the paper is undergraduate chemical engine...

Hello #chemsky and #compchemsky ! This is Robert Topper, a computational / theoretical chemist from the Cooper Union in New York NY. Moving over from X, look forward to making new friends here! Oh, and join us for the Virtual Winter School on Computational Chemistry! #VWSCC2025 winterschool.cc

Hi! Glad to be here. I'll be posting about all things salt, as well as all about the Virtual Winter School on Computational Chemistry! You can register now at winterschool.cc. The VWSCC is completely free, and is held online 217-31 January 2025.
