The BoostCrop team, made up of researchers from @warwickchem @unibirmingham @UvA_Amsterdam @HFML_FELIX @BristolUni @URD_ABI @bristoluniversity @amu @bfrde @syntec awarded 2025 Faraday Horizon Prize https://t.co/HDhaLjB0fR #RSCPrizes @HorizonEU

[Chemical Science @ChemicalScience]

As part of our series looking back at previous #ChemSciPicks, this research from @BoostCrop @URD_ABI @MarioBarbatti explored the light-to-heat conversion abilities of barbituric absorbers, with implications for #agriculture.

Thanks, @Tosin_T_Abiola from @StavrosTeam & @BoostCrop, for the excellent talk to our group in Marseille yesterday!
@jotoldo, @mrncasal, @max_jr, @SaikatM1986, the entire team, and I learned a lot.

In our latest #ChemSciPicks, phenolic-based barbituric absorbers of UV radiation are prepared, which show promising light-to-heat conversion capabilities and could be useful as molecular heaters for agriculture @BoostCrop @URD_ABI @MarioBarbatti 👉 https://t.co/MRW2r3Lbg4

Referee report on a @BoostCrop paper led by @StavrosTeam: "The study is a fine representation of what I have been expecting from the photodynamics community for many years. (...) I am impressed by the connection between chemical physics, synthesis, toxicology, and #compchem."🎇

Hello @LatinXChem! I am a postdoc at @univamu, working with computational photochemistry with @mrncasal and @MarioBarbatti.
I am excited to share part of our work in the @BoostCrop project: "Photochemistry of new nature-inspired cinnamate-based sunscreens" #LatinXChemTheo #The096
