chemistry coloring book in the lab

As some of you may know, I draw coloring books in my spare time for kids and adults. Last year, I did a series on Chemistry Nobel Prizes. ALL 117 of them :D

Now, for a series of very good reasons: F**k Amazon !!!

You can now buy them from Lulu bookstores: www.lulu.com/search?sortB...

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

🏆 #MOFs win the #Nobel Prize for #Chemistry! We at #Immaterial are #proud of this #achievement. It is a big moment for the #MOF community. We want to thank Prof. @davidfairen.bsky.social for believing in #MOFs and #m-MOFs. #Celebrating #molecular #architecture's role in solving #global #challenges.

Targeted classification of metal–organic frameworks in the Cambridge structural database (CSD) Large-scale targeted exploration of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with characteristics such as specific surface chemistry or metal-cluster family has not been investigated so far. These definitions ...

I went a bit too fast; the paper with the timeline is pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a... and Figure 8. But obviously, the first materials never had any porosity... but it's great to see all this very preliminary work in place!

My arcane and curious connection to metal-organic frameworks Fernando Gomollón-Bel uncovers a link between his hometown and the 2025 Nobel prize in chemistry

The connection between Nobel-prize winning MOFs and Mudéjar maybe goes beyond beautiful geometric structures – @davidfairen.bsky.social believes the first ever metal-organic framework could be a compound discovered in my hometown, Zaragoza, in 1973. www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/my-a...

Development of a Cambridge Structural Database Subset: A Collection of Metal–Organic Frameworks for Past, Present, and Future We report the generation and characterization of the most complete collection of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) maintained and updated, for the first time, by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC). To set up this subset, we asked the question “what is a MOF?” and implemented a number of “look-for-MOF” criteria embedded within a bespoke Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) Python API workflow to identify and extract information on 69 666 MOF materials. The CSD MOF subset is updated regularly with subsequent MOF additions to the CSD, bringing a unique record for all researchers working in the area of porous materials around the world, whether to perform high-throughput computational screening for materials discovery or to have a global view over the existing structures in a single resource. Using this resource, we then developed and used an array of computational tools to remove residual solvent molecules from the framework pores of all the MOFs identified and went on to analyze geometrical and physical properties of nondisordered structures.

A few years ago, when we started looking at how we could define a MOF, we implemented six arbitrary criteria (pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....). Interestingly, according to these rules, we tracked down the very first structure that resembles a MOF from.. 1973! See: www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/my-a...

Unusual Adsorption Behavior on Metal−Organic Frameworks Metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown adsorption behavior that is not observed in other microporous materials such as zeolites or activated carbons. This study used grand canonical Monte Carlo si...

I still think my first MOF paper was really interesting, and I learnt a lot. Even if not everyone liked the term unusual, it was, indeed, not something I expected (hence unusual, or novel, but not Nobel) pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1...

The 2025 chemistry Nobel goes to MOFs Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi win the prize for developing metal–organic frameworks

The 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry has been awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi “for the development of metal–organic frameworks.” Stay tuned for the full story to come! cen.acs.org/people/nobel...

#ChemNobel #Chem #Chemistry #chemsky 🧪

#NobelPrize week starts tomorrow & the #chemnobel is Wednesday… used to be so much Nobel chat on Tw*tter, but that is not replicated here, alas. Anyway, for the record, I think MOFs will win at some point (maybe this year maybe not). Balasubramanian & Klenerman a good bet for next-gen sequencing too

Fotografía donde aparecen varias mujeres operando los paneles de la computadora electrónica ENIAC. La foto pertenece al cartel de la película - documental "The Computers", de Kathy Kleiman, Kate McMahon y Jon Palfreman (2010).

Cuando la estudiante de informática Kathy Kleiman se topó con estas fotos, se preguntó quienes eran estas mujeres.

Las mostró en el Museo de la Computación de Boston. "Son modelos —le dijeron—. Ya sabes, como en los anuncios de frigoríficos."

La respuesta no le convenció.

Multiscale Profiling of Nanoscale Metal‐Organic Framework Biocompatibility and Immune Interactions A multi-scale, hierarchical ‘Safety-by-Design’ pipeline combining machine learning, ex vivo human blood assays, and in vivo models enables the systematic immunotoxicity and biocompatibility profiling....

doi.org/10.1002/adhm...

Both studies point to a clear future: design nanomedicines from the outset for safety, precision, and impact.

In Advanced Healthcare Materials, we present a validated pipeline for metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) that integrates human blood assays, and in vivo models to map immune responses and select the safest candidates for clinical use. This de-risks and accelerates translation.

discuss groundbreaking work from the Chan lab showing that nanoparticles don’t just “leak” into tumours — they are actively transported by specialised endothelial cells via macropinocytosis. This insight could reshape how targeted therapies are designed.

Thrilled to share two new publications from our team and collaborators — one challenging old assumptions in nanomedicine, the other providing a roadmap for safer translation.
