When ACS shut down its mobile app, a lot of us lost the easiest way to keep up with some of the literature. Generic RSS readers are flaky, strip out images, and force you to bounce between publishers — while new chemistry papers are coming out at a firehose pace.

All most of us want is to open one app, scroll the latest ASAPs, and actually see the graphical abstracts first — because chemists read in structures, not walls of text.

So we built ChemASAP 🧪⚡

Open one app and see the newest ASAP and early-view papers (publisher agnostic), with their graphical abstracts front and center.

• Pulls crisp TOC / graphical abstracts automatically – even when a publisher's RSS feed breaks or leaves them out
• Works across publishers in one clean feed (ACS, Nature, Wiley, RSC, Cell Press/Chem, Science, and more — not locked to one house)
• Treats @ChemRxiv as a first-class journal right alongside peer-reviewed ASAPs
• Toggle only the journals you care about, tap straight to full text, or share a paper in one tap
• No account, no sign-up

100% Free for everyone.

So far, its been our go-to app for keeping track of the literature in real-time.

I came out of Twitter hiatus just for this post 😂

ETH fell, long live EPFL

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

@g_laudadio Amazing work! Also really beautiful figures!

Many years ago, when Twitter was still a hub for science discussion, I used to joke that I would stop using Twitter when I reached 6666 followers. I didn't think it would happen but it seems like here we are

50% of these 6666 are probably bots though... + I don't use Twitter now

@ArdemisPrime @MicrobiomDigest @unil @MicrobiomDigest I dropped you a DM to see if there was a way to attend your talks in CH!

[Daryl Yee @dryeeseeks]

@ArdemisPrime @MicrobiomDigest @unil Whoa! Thanks for sharing

Our review on Ice Lithography is now out in Adv. Funct. Mater.! Excellent work led by @anpan_han and his team at DTU. Glad to have played a small role in this :)

And our second paper is now out in Advanced Materials!

tldr: we use a repeated infusion-precipitation process to enable the fabrication of ceramics and metals with low shrinkages and high material densities (1/9)
