This grand theory is also applicable to being a professor
I am reminded of my Grand Theory of Italian politics, according to which one of the most prized qualities in a leader is non rompere i coglioni (a test that Meloni and Draghi pass, but Renzi and Salvini don't, making the former much more successful and popular than the latter).

Alex combining symmetry, MLIPs and evolutionary searches to complete the rotational defects in MoS2 is out in @pccp.rsc.org. doi.org/10.1039/D5CP.... Funded by @fwf-at.bsky.social through TU-Dx and @taco-oxides.bsky.social
Completing the hierarchy of rotational defects in monolayer MoS2 through symmetry-aware evolutionary search
Monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) shows a plethora of defect configurations, which constitutes the basis for tailoring material properties through defect engineering. Detailed characterization of ...

I have a "negative personal opinion" on Trump (and his entire posse). I guess no MRS for the foreseeable future. Canada, can you up your game?
French researcher, going to a conference in Houston, was forbidden entry to US; his work and personal electronics were both confiscated.
Why? Because a “random search” of his cell phone revealed a negative personal opinion on Trump and the Trump administration. www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

Etats-Unis : un chercheur français refoulé pour avoir exprimé « une opinion personnelle sur la politique menée par l’administration Trump »
Le ministre de la recherche a dit sa « préoccupation », mercredi, après cette décision des autorités américaines. Le chercheur du CNRS aurait subi un contrôle aléatoire à son arrivée, avant que son or...

Happy #QuantumDay to all who celebrate!
Max Planck submitted work on blackbody radiation to the German Physical Society #OTD in 1900.
His novel “quantum hypothesis” suggested that matter emits and absorbs light with frequency f only in discrete chunks of energy E=hf. 🧪 ⚛️ (1/n)

Neural network enabled molecular dynamics study of ${\mathrm{HfO}}_{2}$ phase transitions
The advances of machine-learned force fields have opened up molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for compounds for which ab initio MD is too resource intensive and phenomena for which classical force f...

I once discovered new interesting papers every week on twitter. That's long gone. Let's find the same energy here. X can keep the pornbots.
I'm looking forward to engaging on #chemsky. Missed #chemtwitter!
