👻💊🔦🎯 Medicines without side effects? Yes!
Chemistry can make drugs active only where they’re needed.
How? With photocages acting like invisibility cloaks and near-infrared light as the trigger.

🪼🔆 Can we GLOW like a jellyfish?
YES! We just need the right chemistry.🧪

🧪😱 For many, chemistry is almost a synonym for HORROR.
But once you discover how much fun it can be, everything changes. The excitement is real and it’s contagious.💥
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of giving a public talk at SciencePavilion, where I shared what chemistry means to me.

👀🦐 Which world is more COLORFUL: ours or the one seen through the eyes of a mantis shrimp?
In this video, we discuss that having more receptors doesn’t necessarily mean seeing more colors. And color isn’t just about what we see. It’s about how molecules interact with light.

Welcome in Zurich Arturo! 🫶🏼 Coming from warm Madrid from the group of Nazario Martín, he decided to do a three month internship with us, learning about radicals ✨ Happy you are with us! 🤗 #chemsky #pisky @michaljuricek.bsky.social
In her talk at the CMSZH Graduate School Retreat, Pauline shared exciting insights into how the challenge of making organic magnetic switches might be overcome. For her outstanding presentation, she received the Travel Award for Best Talk.
Congratulations, Pauline! 👏🎉

Congratulations, Moheb! Wear the tattoo with pride 💪🙂👏
Spent the evening yesterday celebrating Pauline's latest publication. A job well done - congrats!! 🤩🥳♥️ #chemsky #pisky @michaljuricek.bsky.social @chem.uzh.ch
🧲 Can a single molecule act like a tiny magnetic switch? Yes!
We report a carbon-based molecule that reversibly switches between magnetic and non-magnetic states at the single-molecule level.

Congratulations Tara on your successful Bachelor's defence on Friday. Even though you've only been here for couple of weeks, you became part of the group so quickly. We will miss you and all the best for your future 💕✨ #chemistry #student #graduation #pisky #chemsky @michaljuricek.bsky.social
Thank you, Judy, for visiting us, great talk and a wonderful day and evening, it was a delight having you!
Enjoy Geneva with @michelrickhaus.bsky.social and see you soon :)

🧅💧 NO ONION, NO CRY — Can chemistry stop onion tears?
Yes!
When you cut an onion, alliinase and LFS turn amino acid sulfoxides into syn-propanethial-S-oxide — the tear-maker. 🔬🥲
Suppress LFS, and you get tear-free onions with full flavor. 🙌👩🍳🧪

A fully funded PhD position is available in my future research group at the University of Bern (start between May and September 2026). We are developing polycyclic aromatics for semiconductors, sensors & more! Please spread the word! More information here: tinyurl.com/4n9ere6h
🧐 Monoradical or diradical — that is the question!
🧩 In our new ChemRxiv preprint, we look underneath the cascades of reactive carbon π-radicals that can host more than one unpaired electron.
