Also, so many welcoming and excited members/teachers within the crystallographic community, that arrange workshops, share knowledge and ideas, and bring new members to this fantastic field. 💎

Erik Svensson Grape - awardee - Struchkov Prize 2026

I am incredibly honored to recieve this prize!

Greatly looking forward to attending @iucr2026.bsky.social

I have many people to thank for all the learning and exciting research over these past years. First and foremost though, is my crystallography mentor and great friend
@keninge.bsky.social

Det är likadant med universitetslokaler... 🥲

Like "transmissionselektronmikroskopi"... ⚡️

Yeah, I feel like there are a fair amount of three-word compounds in Swedish that look quite silly. 😅✌️

The fact that more than twice the input makes it through, impressive!

Also, "2q" and (especially) transmittance for a PXRD pattern is some of the most cursed science things I've seen... 🫡

Damn, I need to ramp up my detector settings! 🙌

Registration for the 11th European Crystallography School (ECS11) is now open! Topics: single crystal XRD, powder XRD and 3D electron diffraction. Details can be found at ecs11.org and registration at docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F.... We hope to see you in Stockholm!

Registration for the 11th ECA crystallography school is now open!

It will be held in Stockholm on the 28th of June to the 4th of July and will give practical experience of solving and refining data from both powder, single crystal and electron diffraction.

This is why you can't afford RAM anymore

Damn, the data buffé that follows! 🥳👌👌👌

What the... that is sooo many 😂🙌🙌🙌🫡

😡 #chemchat

Yeah, saw that too, just seems like a weird concious choice! Thanks for sharing either way! 🙌 It would be cool to plot something like mining relative to abundance in the earth crust!

Cool indeed! Just bugs me that it's iron ore and not equivalents of iron... (for iron only). 🤠

Came here to post this! 😂👏

The youths these days... 😮‍💨

What in the... crazy when default Excel "processing" would do a better job. 🤯

Congrats Stefano! Looking forward to seeing all the great things you'll be working on - they are lucky to have you! 🥇

Nobel Day is here!
The work on Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2025. Research on MOFs has been going on at Stockholm University for twenty years.

Woah! 😍

Signal Absent Despite Abundant Sample Spectroscopy 🥲

When you collaborate with proper organic chemists. #chemchat #chemsky

Meanwhile, me at the brink of tears when my dreamed-up 1-step material synthesis doesn't work by the fifth attempt. 🥵

Crystallographic Evidence of Size-Dependent Bond Flexibility in Metal–Organic Framework Nanocrystals Size-dependent electronic, magnetic, and optical behavior suggests that metal–organic frameworks become softer materials as their particle sizes decrease, but direct evidence is lacking. Here, we rep...

And another one is out: a crystallographic and fundamental solid-state study of size-dependent properties in porous materials. A fun adventure that required quite a bit of coding - learned a lot in the process!
