My latest animation shows how organic salts can keep the same ionic conductivity mechanism as they transform from liquid to solid. Supporting a paper by @paul-mcgonigal.bsky.social et al. published in @science.org

When liquids freeze, ions normally grind to a halt — but not in our new materials!

Our latest paper in @science.org shows how organic salts can keep the same ionic conductivity mechanism as they transform from liquid to solid.

🧪 Simplicity engineered for magnetism 🧲

📢 Preprint: Cr(pyrazine)₃ - maybe the simplest MOF with potential voids known. Built from Cr(III) + radical pyrazine linkers, this perovskite analogue shows magnetic interactions rivaling the strongest known in inorganic materials, stabilizing order above RT.

Check out more on my YouTube...I made this animation for Jonathan Clayden and Beatrice Collins et. al. at the University of Bristol. It shows a molecule motor driven by an enzyme oxidant and a chemical reductant.

G is for gamma linolenic acid, found in seed oils such as evening primrose .... a return to the 2025 #AlphabetofMolecules after a break to get some work done! thanks to @meghanazad.bsky.social‬ for the suggestion🙂

Anyone got a molecular suggestion for the letter H?
