After five years of collaboration on #VeRidium, we finally managed to meet in person! Great times with @Katherine.Mirica in Munich, new release coming this spring!

Super happy at first, getting a contemporary book on "dielectric materials for capacitive energy storage", @routledge (Taylor&Francis). But then you read gibberish sentences like "capacitor just energized moment" and you hope that nobody pays 160€ for the hardback edition. Not recommended.

Electrochemistry, phase widths, and the synthesis of Ni3Se2 by @BertoldRasche. Ganz wunderbar! @jungefeste.bsky.social @iaac @uni-freiburg.de

Bike tour in the Breisgau before Christmas. Stunningly beautiful! Can you find the church sticking out of the fog?

Great Thanksgiving 🦃 and networking 🕸️ event with an amazingly productive and creative Work-Brunch. Always fun to get together with the gang, and congrats to the new awardees @lisavondung.bsky.social @friedrichlab.bsky.social. with @hellmichgroup.bsky.social but missing @esteslab.bsky.social

She did it! Congratulations to a new Frau Doktor, aka a successful PhD defense, and an awesome defense party!

Study on the structural, optical, vibrational and dielectric properties of Cr2+-doped SnFe2O4 spinel ferrites Herein, we have examined the effects of Cr2+ doping on the structural, optical, microstructural, and dielectric properties of SnFe2O4 spinel ferrites prepared by the conventional solid-state route. X-...

Very strange or wrong stuff just out in @rscadvances.rsc.org: Mix SnO, CrO and FeO3 [sic!], heat on air (!) to get a Cr2+ doped spinel. I must have missed the experimental proof of Cr(II) in doi.org/10.1039/D5RA05190H. Wouldn't it be nice to just buy CrO! But cool dielectric responses...

Congratulations Ali on a successful PhD defense! 👨‍🔬🎉🎩

Liquid Ammonia—Revisiting an Old Friend with New Purpose Liquid ammonia was investigated extensively as a solvent in the 20th century and was invaluable in the reduction of elements. Its recent fame lies in its great potential for green energy, particularl...

Bert loves ammonia:

Good times, as usual! Thanks for hosting @haenisch-group.bsky.social ! @fabiandankert.bsky.social : Gürkchen! @tambolab.bsky.social : Tzzz Tzzz Tzzz!

Bert has been enjoying the summer, but of course, still busy with research. Currently supervising some crystal picking for temperature dependent measurements to identify ferro- to paraelectric phase transitions...

Sapperlott und Weehaw! Liebig reunion meets Bert! Happy birthday @chemieverband.bsky.social . With @lisavondung.bsky.social @itsmehasi.bsky.social @dbkonrad.bsky.social @townrowresearch.bsky.social

27th Steinheimer Gespräche! This time in Frankfurt! Excited to meet the whole gang again! Thanks @chemieverband.bsky.social

Dozententagung in Braunschweig! Meeting all the cool kids again! 🎉🎉🎉

Congratulations Ram! First paper published, and many more to come ;)

Bert is excited about his first visit to Hannover to the annual conference of the German crystallographic society. Great people, awesome talks, just the coffee could be way stronger...

Bert's made friends with @jungefeste.bsky.social at #HaeKo25. Good times!

Bert's on his way to Hemdsärmelkolloquium, this year in Innsbruck! Early layover in Zürich. Excited!

Bert's got a new favorite diffractometer! Already doing his first measurements for phase analysis. Maybe some novel cuprates!?

Bert's first time in Freiburg. It's super sunny! He brought some furnaces and lab equipment along. First reactions may start soon..

Hello world! Happy 2025! And meet Bert!

We're nominated 🎉 for the XR Science Award 2024 with #VeRidium! Join us at "The Digital Week" in Dortmund! divr.de/divr-award-en/
@fubcp with @sebastianhabig @katherinemirica

Live demo of our VR environment at the #TURNconference, Nov. 14/15th, @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social #VeRidium #VReducation

OK, pool office is set up. t = -5 h until the 2024 Cottrell conference starts. Thanks to RCSA for hosting us in Tucson again! Very much looking forward!

Getting ready for tomorrow's "long night of sciences" 🔭🧪🧬🧫🔬 join us for a VR experience at @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social from 5pm to midnight!

Big step for VeRidium, our VR science education environment: We're online in the App Lab (for free!). Weehaw! Check it out, use it in lectures, get involved!

Join us for a virtual reality science session at "Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften" at FU Berlin on June 22nd! Hang out between layers of copper, play with tungsten or explore magnesium from within. And don't worry: It's all virtual, no atoms will be harmed! medien.cedis.fu-berlin.de/thiele/VeRid...

Electronic Correlations in Multiferroic Van der Waals CuCrP2S6: Insights from X-ray Spectroscopy and DFT The electronic structure of high-quality van der Waals multiferroic CuCrP2S6 crystals was investigated by applying photoelectron spectroscopy methods in combination with DFT analysis. Using X-ray phot...
