We are thrilled to share our latest publication on @Angewangte
In this paper we explored for the first time the negative photochromism styryl cyanines in solution and solid state

Congrats to all the people invoilved!

💡can we control proton transport in soft materials using light?

In our new paper in Small from @pacella_gianni we show that this is possible using merocyanine metastable-state photoacid #polymers.

Finally out the first paper from my PhD project!
Take a look at how a small modification can completely change the photochromism of molecular photoswitches.
Huge thanks to the whole team, none of this would have been possible without you!

@esrfsynchrotron @IUCr So sad to hear about the loss of Sine Larsen. She was director of research while I was at the ESRF and I remember her high competence. Always positive and with a smile.

Happy 30 years of science 🎉🔬

#OnThisDay 30 years ago, on 1st October 1994, @esrfsynchrotron opened its doors to its first users.

Three decades later, with a record of discoveries in its history, the ESRF is proud to celebrate 30 years of science and user operation!

The beginning of a new adventure.

Yesterday we had the kick off of our new EU funded project MERGE, where we will join forces in the coming 3 years to develop eco-friendly and cost effective single ion catalysts for waste biomass valorization.

Yesterday Lieke got her master diploma in chemistry with a cum laude.
She worked with us on self-healing polymers for battery applications.

Congratulations

Just finished a run at the #Diamomd light source #synchrotorn.
We had a great time in the UK, where in this top facility we managed to measure a huge variety of samples!
Big thanks to the team of I22, they are simply amazing! ⚗️💎

We now know how polymeric coatings form!
Check out our latest paper on drying waterborne polyurethane formulations.

Congrats to @GaborErsek

Based on measurements performed at @esrfsynchrotron
