A sprinting start to materials synthesis 🏎️🏁 So much for leaving materials to bake over the weekend. We captured the first moments of a solid-state reaction using in situ X-rays and they go FAST! Mere minutes to Li4Ti5O12 anode🔋 @advancedphoton https://t.co/pb6pA89XsT

🐚ACC isn't just amorphous CaCO₃🫟!? Its missing CO₃²⁻—replaced by Cl⁻ & NO₃⁻🧪. And only cleans up its composition as it crystallizes✨

@nozomi_ando @CornellChem Thanks for a fun visit!

Self care tip💅from UiO66? Take it slow to fully relax.
Using insitu Xrays🔦🩻 we see UiO66 shrinks when heated🔥 but only re-expands when cooled slowly🐢🧊. Cool too fast🏎️ & it gets trapped thanks to some twisted node dynamics! @SimonVornholt @J_A_C_S https://t.co/qYzS1rmxmD

🚨 We are hiring! We're looking for a new #chempostdoc to join our team at @StonyBrookChem, focusing on exploring the structure-function relationships in MOFs using insitu Xrays.

Behold, it's alive!🩺This dynamic 2D COF pulses with vitality, shifting from closed🔒 to half-open🔗to open🔓phases in mere seconds⏱️, all observed in real-time with lightning-fast in-situ X-rays🔦🩻 @AdvancedPhoton. Check out now in @NatureChemistry

What do synchrotron Xrays🔦🩻 and a webcam🎥 have in common?
We use both to study nanoparticle synthesis🍳!!! While Xrays see the atomic details, the webcam captures the bigger picture🖼️ AND we don't need to wait for beamtime📅💅 @BrySanMo @StonyBrookChem https://t.co/YGlQ42DnSj

📢 Reminder: Don't overlook those small "extra" diffraction peaks! 👀 These were key to resolving CO2 binding in our latest collaboration on MOFs for Direct Air Capture 🌱🌍 @stonybrookchem with @farhomies and @ProfDravid https://t.co/ycuoX1dsyh

First coordination polymers with glassy charge transport, now CPs with spin glassing! Congrats to Andrew, Ie-Rang, @KChapLab, @ZhihengyuChen, Agnish, and @suri_lab on this cool work now out in @J_A_C_S. Look at that memory effect 😍!

One year in and we've doubled our team to design catalysts for decarbonization

[CanadianLightSource @CanLightSource]

#OTB: Carbon capture is one strategy for mitigating the impacts of climate change. Researcher Karena Chapman and colleagues from @StonyBrookChem (New York) are using the Brockhouse beamline at CLS to study metal-organic frameworks as one potential “sponge” for soaking up CO2.

Greatful for @KochStephen and Michelle Millar for setting up the Franklin Award Lecture to bring inorganic chemistry trailblazers to @StonyBrookChem

[Jeff Lipshultz @jeflip]

Incredibly excited for today's Franklin Award Lecture honoring Julie Kovacs of @UWChemistry. The sixth installment of this lecture hosted by @KochStephen here at @StonyBrookChem! https://t.co/jL9Zs6jVS2

I'm back! Here to talk about the fantastic things we can learn about materials function from operando studies using high energy X-rays. @SydAnalytical

[Karena Chapman @KChapLab]

@ShustovaLab @UNISTMOON So great to see you down under. Safe travels.

[Karena Chapman @KChapLab]

@ShustovaLab @UNISTMOON @Pance_Naumov @GraceThaggard @BuddhimaMaldeni Great talk in a fantastic session.
