A discarded robot in Hackney

This robot must have some stories to tell #Londonmaxxing

A timely and eloquent essay, well worth reading by anyone in science.

If you've got something really big - 100,000 atoms, a million atoms? I'd really like to try it out.

Great! I have tickets for tomorrow

Finally made it to #CCSC2026! Amazing talks this morning (day 3) from @vlderinger.bsky.social @mahrossi.bsky.social @molecularxtal.bsky.social 🤩 great to be here

Funnily, that’s the year I took my first DFT class!

Apple offer an engraving when you buy online. It was all I could come up with…

And a little 🦞 too!

"Now What?" by John J Hopfield is a beautiful read for researchers at all career stages, and especially so for those who wish not to simply solve problems, but rather identify and solve a PROBLEM -- a kind of the deepest question.

Solar capacity is expected to triple based on new projects in the pipeline.

Total global solar capacity, including all projects in construction and planned, is expected to reach almost 3 terawatts, with 80% concentrated in just 15 countries.

Very nice! I read this first as "4D" and was hoping for some superspace symmetry, but "4d" is okay too

👋New preprint: "Interplay of Redox Non-Innocence and Symmetry Breaking in a 4d Coordination Framework"

🧪We’ve made Mo(pyz)₂I₂, the 4d cousin of the Cr(pyz)₂X₂ family — with redox-active ligands, symmetry breaking, semiconducting transport, and very strong magnetic interactions.
