This is the source of a new mineral in may collection - brucite, Mg(OH)₂. There is Mg bisglycinate dihydrate inside too, but nobody perfect.

📢"Crystallography, being ubiquitous in many areas of daily life, deserves special attention in education." 😀✨Introducing it to high school students helps build skills for modern science, technology, and innovation. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... @pubs.acs.org #crystallography #education #K12 #outreach
A bottle of a "Chelated Magnesium" food supplement on a few bricks.
Wow, I found brutally honest advertisement of a food supplement. Because to achieve 21% of Mg in magnesium biglycinate one indeed need to add few bricks (often contains MgO). (Theoretical max is 14.1% for anhydrous, really 11.7% for dihydrate)

Congratulations to Sam Lewis from @europeanxfel.bsky.social for winning the CCDC Chemical Crystallography Prize for Younger Scientists at #BCA2026!🎊
Sam delivered an impressive talk on exploring small‑molecule serial photocrystallography: a fantastic way to close the meeting!

Congrats to DiffUSE lead Stephanie Wankowicz @stephanieaw.bsky.social, on winning the inaugural Sheldrick Award! Her work on entropic flexibility and reproducibility in structural biology is core to what we're building. #crystallography #structuralbiology #openscience

Despite containing an EGF domain and forming homopolymers like urinary ZP module protein #uromodulin (PDB 6TQK), the ZPD filament resembles more closely the ZP3/ZP1 heteropolymer, whose structure we recently determined by #crystallography (PDB 8RKI, 8BQU).

📣A couple of highlights from yesterday at the #BCA2026!
💠A moving session remembering George Sheldrick: an outstanding crystallographer and a truly remarkable person.
💠The complementary techniques session including a talk from Emma Hawking, Research Scientist at the CCDC.

A SPINE style goniometer base with a loop, one normal and one is lager version.
Hey, @mitegen.com , I understand that “we can make custom orders”, but dimensions were in millimeters and not in inches!

Crystals of the tetra(something-ium) hexachloro-lead under microscope
Ah, sweet abandonolysis - my method of choice. Just leave your crystals under the microscope over a weekend and - disorder is gone, solvent is gone.
(just stupid Bruker software that cannot handle properly Ag data still here)

Lecture hall with a big screen showing a graph and a presenter stood at the front.
A thought‑provoking industrial plenary at the #BCA2026 today from John Helliwell of @manchester.ac.uk.
Our standout moment was when he said, “We lead the world in FAIR data through the CCDC.” 🙌

Humans of the past, I have an important message for you from future - on 15th April 2044 the design of the cap of the SPINE sample holder will be changed (thingy aka goniometer bases).
Indeed, dimensions were not completed.
