Molecular insight into the occurrence characteristics of confined shale oil with associated gas The occurrence state of shale oil in a nanoscale confined matrix of a shale reservoir significantly impacts reserve evaluation and exploitation. As an endogenous gas, associated gas markedly affects t...

New in #MSDE 🧪

A molecular dynamics study reveals how associated gas content and mineral type control the distribution and mobility of confined shale oil at the nanoscale — offering new insight into shale reservoir behaviour.

MSDE Strategic Plan Pillar 4: More Resources for Student Success More resources is good... if they go to the right place...

#MSDE wants to spend more on student success, but are they putting the money into places that will ACTUALLY deliver the success they claim they are looking for? Or is it more likely that this is all just more window-dressing? #edchat #edfunding

Audit: State education department failed to oversee local schools’ hiring, background checks State auditors found that the Maryland State Department of Education failed to adequately oversee hiring and background checks by local school systems to ensure that new hires were properly vetted and credentialed, among other problems.

Call me crazy, but I think there might be an error in this job post by #MSDE. Either that or we've annexed Albuquerque.

MSDE Strategic Plan Pillar 2: High-Quality & Diverse Teachers and Leaders Apparently, MSDE thinks people are breaking down the door to become educators.

Today, I'm taking a look at #MSDE Strategic Plan Pillar 2: hiring high-quality teachers and leaders. They might HIRE them, but there's certainly no plan to KEEP them once they're here.

MSDE's Strategic Plan Pillar 1: Early Childhood Education It sure would be nice if the changes were both statistically sound and didn't have to worry about capitalism ruining everything.

The expansion of pre-K to more Marylanders is great. Too bad that the impact will be partial at best #edchat #maryland #msde

Uh-oh, #MSDE. 👀

We were delighted to recently sponsor two poster prizes at the Molecular Engineering MRes final presentations at Imperial College London.

Congratulations to Julien Alary for winning best presentation and Viveka Sivakaran for winning best poster!

Understanding stable adsorption states in flexible soft porous coordination polymers through free energy profiles Soft porous coordination polymers (SPCPs) are flexible porous materials comprised of metal–organic polyhedrons (MOPs) connected by organic linkers, with potential in adsorption applications. We perfor...

👨‍🔬 Adsorption in soft porous coordination polymers

How do flexible linkers affect gas adsorption?

This recent paper uses molecular simulations to uncover stable adsorption states in SPCPs—key for gas storage and separation.

Nanostructured liquid-crystalline ion conductors based on linear carbonate moieties: effects of oligooxyethylene and alkylene spacers on self-assembled properties and ionic conductivities We here report rodlike liquid-crystalline (LC) molecules consisting of bicyclohexyl and linear carbonate moieties connected through flexible spacers for the development of nanostructured ion-conductiv...

🧪 Liquid-crystalline ion conductors
Self-assembling smectic phases + lithium salts = 2D ion highways ⚡️
A recent study designs nanostructured electrolytes using carbonate-based liquid crystals - promising for quasi-solid-state batteries.

Trump’s cut of COVID funding may minimally impact MCPS The impact on MCPS of the Trump administration's cut off final payments of COVID funding may be limited, but is still being determined.

It's concerning to me that there's such a gap in understanding between #MSDE and #MCPS on how the federal government's decisions will impact our budget. Wright and Taylor not being on the same page speaks to systemic communication issues: bethesdamagazine.com/2025/04/02/t...

Moore suggests rollbacks to Maryland’s public education plan are coming “We will pause the elements that need a closer look or require laying a stronger foundation for full implementation,” Moore said of the Blueprint for Maryland's Future.

#Maryland has a strong commitment to education but there are very tough times coming. I hate to see this happening, nonetheless. At least (for now) preschool for all isn’t on the chopping block. #ECE #MSDE #news #bluecrew

Are there any preparations happening at the state level in regards to the planned elimination of the federal department of education? If so, care to share them with the public? #DOE #DepartmentofEducation #MSDE #DESE #PDE #NYSED #AOE #VDOE #CDE #ODE

2023 Molecular Systems Design & Engineering outstanding peer reviewers We are celebrating some of the individuals making significant contributions to the chemical sciences through peer review.
