BREAKING: the 2024 Noble Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to E. F. Tom for the synthesis of a cubane using chemicals from a hardware store. In a shed. This is a huge win for brown chemistry, which will now replace green chemistry as the best way to pad grant applications.

Asking because it seems to be somehat available at least within the EU, and it has similar properties as a drying agent.

[doyale @doyale2]

Hey @NurdRage, I was thinking about your Pyrimethamine synthesis project and I was wondering whether the trimethyl orthoformate (which is very tedious to make) could possibly be substituted by tetraethyl orthosilicate? That should work as a dehydrating agent too.

[doyale @doyale2]

@VictorKiryak Whether this would actually work in practice is a totally different question and i shall not be held reliable for any harm done while attempting to do this

[doyale @doyale2]

@VictorKiryak Not very elegant, but undergrad friendly.

The very classic Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction, which you might have seen in @NileRed2's Youtube channel icon. This one was set up by some students at the Makerspace I work for, and I think it turned out very well!

@TufegdzicSrdjan @That_Chemist The aim is for it to work automatically wiht as little user input as possible, while also working with non-ideal TLC pictures

[doyale @doyale2]

@ghabdallah1221 @That_Chemist Thank you!

[doyale @doyale2]

@thewatchglass @That_Chemist Our focus is on automatic detection of as many factors as possible (to keep user input minimal) combined with ruggedness. for example our code has no problem when working with slanted lanes, which is something most other imaging software struffles with. I'll look at this one tho!

[doyale @doyale2]

@Alejandro_Chem @That_Chemist Sent, thanks again!

[doyale @doyale2]

@Alejandro_Chem @That_Chemist That would be very much appreciated, even if uncurated, every sample helps to improve our automatic selection methods!

Information about the spotted substance and eluent are not required. The app will be released under a CC-BY-SA 3.0 (open source) once it's in an useable state. @doyale2

[That Chemist @That_Chemist]

A friend of mine is working on an app for scanning and interpreting TLC plates. For some automatic detection features he needs a set of TLC pictures. Please reply with pictures of TLCs you ran with info about the stationary phase and the stain (including UV), if you want to help!

This is good. More scientists need to follow suit now. Leeches such as @ElsevierConnect and @ThiemeIntl need to be shown that they aren't providing "services that are essential to a well-functioning research [...] ecosystem" but rather cost science decades of progress.

[doyale @doyale2]

@NurdRage I do have some, (part of a book series) but unfortunately they are all in german. I can still send the references though if you're interested.

A reviewer rejected my paper, and instead suggested me to familiarize myself with the following readings. I could not find them anywhere. After a control in GPT-2, my fears where confirmed. Those sources where 99% fake...generated by AI. https://t.co/ynx2igLObW
