Mixed-Valent Ce Disrupts Magnetic Ordering in CeFe$_2$Ga$_8$
Mixed valency in intermetallics with lanthanide cations is well established as a pathway to unusual charge transport, complex magnetism, and superconductivity. In this work, we report a comprehensive ...

Preferential Site Ordering Alters the Magnetic Behavior of Sm3Ru4Sn13–xGex (x = 0–2)
An important aspect of materials research is the ability to tune different physical properties through controlled crystallographic site substitution. The Remeika phase Ln3M4X13 (Ln = Lanthanide, M = T...

Genuinely alarming development in the NSF FY26 budget request to Congress. It proposes to end the NSF CAREER program entirely. If this program ends, junior researchers will have limited options for funding. Please contact your elected officials to let them know #savensf

I had a fantastic time at the Quantum Foundry workshop at UC Santa Barbara. Thank you to Ram Seshadri and Stephen Wilson for the invite. I gave a talk and my student Jacob was able to present a poster on his work.

Writing a grant is like a rollercoaster because you feel the excitement of a fun and interesting idea coming together, but the fear that other people won’t feel the same way.

Anyone doing basics science knows that we're barely making ends meet with the grants, particularly if your primarily nsf funded. The budget hasn't increased with student and postdoc salary (primarily cost of grants). Meeting it 1/3 kills all science everywhere

Excellence in scientific research is what actually made America great. We all have a responsibility to oppose this. The NSF should have a higher budget and more personnel, not less.

This is so cool. I wonder if we can do signs like this for inorganic and solid state chemistry too. There’s no reason we can’t use signs for mirror planes, screw axes, or inversion centers to make them easier for hard-of-hearing people to understand.

Per an NIH source:
“Discussions with colleagues have suggested that if the universities all come together and raise hell about the delays to funding caused by not holding meetings, that might move the needle. From every state. There are well-funded universities in red states that will be impacted.”
