Raffaella (@lnce_epfl ) gave a fantastic plenary talk, marking the start of #chains2024! I loved seeing the nanocrystals field being the stars of the Dutch national chemistry meeting!

[Raffaella Buonsanti @lnce_epfl]

Such a great #NWOChains2024! nice feedback after my first plenary, interesting discussions and talks, met new and old friends!! @MartaCFigueired @AntoniForner @ProtesescuGroup @ArjanHoutepen @BWeckhuysen and more..Thank you for the invitation! @NCCR_Catalysis @EPFL_CHEM_Tweet

Our Jennifer delivered a fantastic talk about her entire PhD research during #chains2024! Well done, Jennifer!

[Loredana Protesescu @ProtesescuGroup]

And….🥁🥁🥁🥁congratulation to Julia Kraft, our PhD student, for the best poster prize at #Chains2024!

Our crew at #chains2024 - poster sessions!

[Loredana Protesescu @ProtesescuGroup]

Together with @ArjanHoutepen , we organized a focus session on “quantum dots beyond the Nobel prize” during the #Chains2024. Thanks to @imec_int , @QDiSystems and @Daniel Vanmaekelbergh for their insightful thoughts shared with all of us.

I already knew that metal borides are fascinating nanomaterials. @DavidPortehault from CNRS Sorbonne, our guest this week, guided us through the chemistry and applications of MxBy and MxBySiz and his passion for these materials, a real playground! Thank you David!Truly inspiring!

@MaxxSolidChem Likewise, Maxx! Btw, I enjoyed your paper about helicity in solids! Great work!

[Loredana Protesescu @ProtesescuGroup]

Have a look at the “35 Challenges in Materials Science Being Tackled by PIs Under 35(ish) in 2024”. Our work is highlighted here!

Also delighted to share the co-authorship with so many talented scientists!

Our PhD student, Yun Hai, represented our group at @ZernikeInst PhD Symposium and he showed his amazing results for InSb QDs (here a preview for you as well:) )

[Loredana Protesescu @ProtesescuGroup]

@thermofisher visited us @ZernikeInst to talk about the cutting edge instrumentation they develop for electron microscopy. Dr. Sorin Lazăr showed us how to put an entire syncrontron technique into a microscope! Simple beautiful!

[Loredana Protesescu @ProtesescuGroup]

Our @ZernikeInst annual event dedicated to PhD students was so full of enthusiastic science. The highlight of our symposium was the fantastic lecture from Prof. Chih-Jen Shih from @ETH.

[Loredana Protesescu @ProtesescuGroup]

Beautiful chemistry and disruptive contribution from @talapinlab for quantum dots and novel materials!

[Talapinlab@uchicago @talapinlab]

This paper demonstrates for the first time that the molten salt can be a media to synthesize quantum dots. This paper also presents the first luminescent colloidal GaAs quantum dot. Redox chemistry is a powerful tool to achieve this nice materials! https://t.co/xGtdmbnnNr

[Loredana Protesescu @ProtesescuGroup]

What a week for AI and ML! @NobelPrize

[Loredana Protesescu @ProtesescuGroup]

@NienhausLab @brunoehrler Congrats to both of you!

[Loredana Protesescu @ProtesescuGroup]

Yesterday we had a special guest at @ZernikeInst. Christophe Coperet (@CoperetGroup) from @ETH thought us how powerful solid state NMR is across many disciplines and how to use it to design and understand functional materials and complex catalysis. For me, always an inspiration!
