What an incredible week! Spent time with my postdoc supervisor Norbert Stock, attended the Nobel Lectures, co-organized a MOF symposium, attended the Nobel Reception & Student Nobel Night Cap, and co-organized a visit by Prof. Omar Yaghi. So happy to have met so many figures in MOF history!

SAVE THE DATE! The 11th European Crystallography School (ECS11) takes place June 28–July 4, 2026, in Stockholm, Sweden. Topics: single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction & 3D electron diffraction.
Learn from leading experts through lectures and hands-on workshops!

Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2025 The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi “for the development of metal–organic frameworks.”

Delighted to see our paper on SU-102 for capturing pharmaceutical pollutants from wastewater included in the @nature.com collection on #MOF papers in celebration of the #NobelPrize!

So excited about this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry! I’m grateful to these pioneers, along with other scientists, for developing the fascinating field of MOFs, and for the inspiration they have provided me and a new generation of chemists. What exciting times! #MOFs #NobelPrize

Definitely the most surprised I've been upon acquiring a powder X-ray diffraction pattern, and then looking at the beatiful crystals in an electron microscope! 🔍💎

Using advanced electron crystallography techniques, researchers at Stockholm University have succeeded in determining the structure of the red pigment carmine. It turns out that the substance, used today in products such as candy and paint, has a complex porous structure.

Brilliantly Red: The Structure of Carmine Carmine is a red pigment made from dried cochineal, a scale insect that has been a source of brilliant scarlet reds in clothing and art for more than two millennia, with records dating back to 700 BC....

Carmine is a red pigment used since antiquity to color textiles, in paintings by Rembrandt and Van Gogh, and today as a food coloring agent (E120).

Very excited that @esvenssongrape.bsky.social finally reveals the crystal structure of carmine by #3DED!

Really enjoyed reading your inspirational paper!

Really enjoyed reading your article! Thanks for the highly inspirational work. Curious to see how the various ions and water molecules are arranged. I want to forward your shoutout to the inventor of SU-102 @esvenssongrape.bsky.social

High-capacity water sorbent cycles without hysteresis under dry conditions - Nature Communications There is a lack of water sorbents capable of cycling water vapor under dry conditions without hysteresis or decomposition. Here, the authors demonstrate that the anionic MOF SU-102 exhibits high-capac...

Exicted about our new work on the really unusual (and highly informative) water capture properties of the SU-102 MOFs. A shoutout to @keninge.bsky.social and his group for ongoing work with this awesome series! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It is so nice to receive such a warm welcome from one of my favorite humans and scientists! I appreciate the starter pack!
