Chocolate spectroscopy!
To demonstrate spectroscopy to my first-year chemistry class, especially transmittance, I passed around a bag with three types of chocolate bars during the lecture. The students were allowed to take one piece each.

So extremely much fun to have Andrew Goodwin visiting Stockholm for the day!

I went away a week to ECM and while I wasn't looking, the group decided to double in size!
We now welcome new PhD students Nida and Qingqing and master student Katerina. During the autumn, we are also happy to host the internship students Simon and Mathias.

Refinements are always beautiful (well, almost), but this mixed NTE/PTE* sample probably gives the most appealing set of diffraction that I have ever come across! 🔥 ❄️
*Positive thermal expansion in one direction; negative thermal expansion in the other two

Capillary alignment doesn't always work as planned...

Had a great time at #MC17 organised by @rsc.org! Fun to catch up with friends and colleages, see the wonderful posters and talk, and present our work in progress.
I always enjoy returning to 🏴 and of course, no Edinburgh visit is complete without a climb up Arthur's seat!

I've done plenty of variable-pressure diffraction and (possibly) even more under variable temperature. But this weekend, I got to experience the joys of doing them both at the same time at Diamond. 💎
Please admire our (not entirely random) walk through the PT space...

Though I would generally describe myself as a crystallographer, adding some spectroscopy every so often can be a lot of fun!

Campus tulips are out!
And of course worth pointing out that they are planted in a Frieze pattern🌷

So fun to have Arkadiy visiting and talk about the fantastic work his group is doing.
A very good reminder that the average crystal structure really only give you parts of the story.

As always very pleased with my UK visit, including some wonderfully beautiful PEARL data with a dessert from POLARIS
