Congratulations to Omar Yaghi, Susumu Kitagawa, and Richard Robson on receiving the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their pioneering work on metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). Their discoveries continue to inspire scientists worldwide. I’m grateful to contribute to this fascinating area of research.

Grateful to the Royal Society of Chemistry Switzerland for inviting me to visit CERN, a place where science and technology push their limits. A powerful reminder of Carl Sagan’s words: “Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.”

Wrapped up 24 intense hours at BESSY II, lots of data, and a truly valuable experience. Huge thanks to @stecanossa.bsky.social and @shuntokuda.bsky.social for the help, and to @simonkrause.bsky.social for all his support. Looking forward to data analysis 😊

Attended the Japanese–German Symposium on Frontiers in Future Materials Design at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research. Inspiring talks and ideas. Big thanks to the organizing team for a great event! #mpi #futurematerials

Had a great time at the International Max Planck Research School for Condensed Matter Science (IMPRS-CMS) Retreat with colleagues from different research areas at MPI-FKF. Glad to share a brief intro on MOFs. Thanks to the organizers! #MOFs #imprs #mpı

Glad to attend MOF School 2025 online this year. It was a week full of insightful lectures. The photo is from my first MOF School in Lake Como, a truly memorable experience and a turning point in my MOF journey.
Many thanks to the organizers for both inspiring events!

Many thanks to Prof.Dr. Robert Dinnebier, Dr. Sebastian Bette, Dr. Maxwell Terban, Prof. Dr. John Evans, Prof. Paolo Scardi, Dr. Martin Etter, Prof. Dr. Andreas Leineweber and all the instructors for their clear and supportive guidance.

We recently attended the Rietveld and Pair Distribution Function (PDF) Analysis Workshop in Stuttgart. This one week school gathered PhD students and postdocs from around the world for both theoretical lectures and hands-on sessions in crystal structure analysis, with a focus on TOPAS software.

The Novartis Pavilion visit gave me useful insights into diseases, treatments, and the future of biotechnology. Talking to people working with materials like zeolites made me think about how MOFs could play a role in similar areas in the future.

I would like to thank the Royal Society of Chemistry Switzerland for the kind invitation. It was a pleasure to meet researchers and professionals doing great work in their fields.

The first issue of the new year in the Max Planck Society’s magazine has highlighted our MaxMinds project on the cover with my mentee, Fatma Alma. Grateful to @maxplanckpress @mpifkf, Simon Krause, Michael Eppard, E. Yıldız, Z. Caglar, and the all team for their support!
