New online! A radical way to ethylene
A radical way to ethylene
Nature Catalysis, Published online: 24 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s41929-025-01382-xA catalytic system is reported that efficiently converts acetylene impurities into polymer-grade ethylene feedstock by generating hydrogen radicals from water using light as the power source. This system is suggested as a viable sustainable method for ethylene purification.

ATP‐Regulated Formation of Transient Peptide Amphiphiles Superstructures
This work reports the formation of peptide amphiphile bundled superstructures through ATP-driven charge screening. The transient nature of these hierarchical self-assembled nanostructures is regulate....

Latest co-authored article is out @nature.com reporting on a very cool stereospecific self-assembly into chiral snub cubes. Tremendous work lead by Huang Wu, with Fraser Stoddart lead. Fraser, thanks for everything, you will be missed.

Fraser was an inspiration as scientist, mentor and person. Will be deeply missed by many - I will be always grateful for all of his time, advice and help.
Colleagues, Students, Postdocs, Collaborators and Friends of Sir Fraser Stoddart: I am writing with the sad news that Fraser passed away suddenly on 31 Dec (Australia time) while on holiday with family. No details yet on any services. He is irreplaceable.

1. I feel like this is such obvious advice that it gets taken for granted & consequently no one says this to young scientists but READ PAPERS, read all the papers. As you move up in your career you will have less & less time to do this. Read everything that appeals to you not just in your field

Hi #chemsky! Glad to join and see so many familiar faces and names over here. Will be posting about news from our research group - follow if you are interested in chemistry (organic dyes, supramolecular chemistry and/or photocatalysis)! Happy #fluorescencefriday!
