I have a question for #chemsky and #chemchat: I often see published PXRD patterns which do not fit to the theoretical pattern of a new structure. If the diffraction data don't support the structure, what does that say about the rest of the characterization?

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Jeg er simpelthen nødt til at sige det her:
Man har i tyve år (reelt nærmere 35) svunget sparekniven over Forsvaret, uden skelen til de operative konsekvenser. Det er et politisk svigt, og et eklatant ledelsesmæssigt svigt fra Forsvarets top.

“Realiteten kan jo have været, at man har siddet med en samlet tilstandsrapport over forsvarsområdet, hvor antallet af fejl og mangler har været så enormt stort, så det har været umuligt at fikse det hele.”

Fun to see a U.S. activist rehash the Wrangel Island debate: Wrangel, near Chukotka, has a messy history. It was settled by Canadians and Americans before a 1924 Soviet takeover became one of the only direct violent encounters ever between the U.S. and the USSR. nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/ru...

When the Scherrer equation predicts crystallite sizes of less than one proposed unit cell, you can probably not call it a crystal.

A reminder that the Israeli government does not allow any international journalist into Gaza. That’s how they have killed more journalists than most conflicts combined since WWII while claiming that all the journalists they’ve killed were actually enemy combatants.
