A late Christmas gift - our new paper on using dynamic covalent pericyclic reactions to control host-guest chemistry in water has just been accepted in @commschem.nature.com. Massive congrats @mariusgaedke.bsky.social @anjaramstrom.bsky.social @daisypooler.bsky.social

Controlling cyclodextrin host-guest complexation in water with dynamic pericyclic chemistry - Communications Chemistry
Water-soluble macrocycles are useful in drug delivery and other applications, yet controlling their host–guest interactions under physiological conditions remains challenging. Here, the authors employ...

For this organic charge carrier, conductivity is more than just a phase! @paul-mcgonigal.bsky.social and team devised a clever new material that keeps ions flowing in more-ordered states of matter, thanks to diffused charges and a lil ordered chaos:

This molecule conducts charge like a liquid, even when it’s a solid
Loose ion pairing helps this organic electrolyte maintain conductivity through phase changes

great to see @fschaufelberger.bsky.social present our recent work on our lanthanide chelate rotaxane emitters pioneered by @anjaramstrom.bsky.social! 📡💡 and a sneak peek into the main work of my postdoc too 😉 #MASC2025

I'm advertising a funded opportunity for a postdoc to join the Fielden Research Group for 24 months: www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DPC150/r...

We're looking for a researcher with expertise in supramolecular and/or colloid chemistry to help kick start our ERC-funded project into dynamic emulsions. 😃

my last day at @uni-of-warwick.bsky.social today! a trip that was short but sweet. I'm looking forward to be coming back here more often in the future 😇 it's so pretty and autumnal here, I am fully prepared for all of the trees in Stockholm to be completely bare once I'm back there

back again at @uni-of-warwick.bsky.social to help get the new students started in the @fschaufelberger.bsky.social lab! 🤩🧪⚛️

AI can now generate fake microscopy images that are nearly impossible to detect. A serious threat to scientific integrity—and we’re not prepared for it.

had to walk past/through FIVE (not an exaggeration) separate dance troupes this morning at 8:30 on my way to the lab. the students are well and truly back... and there are some rather odd fresher's celebrations happening at KTH

This week in Science, researchers report an artificial molecular motor that can twist a molecular thread to form a mechanically interlocked molecule. The approach creates opportunities to fabricate mechanically interlocked molecules with precise structural control.
