For all who are interested in #symmetry, #crystals and properties of #solids, I have a reading suggestion:

News from the space group diagram project!
Thanks to Eduardo Carrillo Aravena's tremendous support of the project, the diagrams for all hexagonal space groups are now complete as well!
You can find the the diagrams here:

Beyond the Google map the #MOF Universe now has an interactive 3D companion. It renders all 444 research locations on a rotating globe with colour-coded pins, and a built-in search.

In addition to my post yesterday, I discovered a fantastic tool for space group symmetry:
Jmol Space Group Symmetry Visualiser
All space groups can be displayed in 3D and not just the symmetry elements and general position, but all Wyckoff positions!

I used the semester break to make some progress on the space group diagram project: now all space group diagrams of the trigonal crystal system (space groups no. 143 - 167) are complete!
They are available as PNG, PDF, and PPT at:

Enjoy!
The #MOF Universe got a massive update with many additional information. We asked also for potential collaboration intentions - so have a look!
Many thanks to everyone who took part in the survey and to the COST Initiative @EU4MOFs for funding my work!

I have been observing for some time that Springer Nature does not have a passion for publishing, but only a passion for profit.

“Springer Nature Portfolio has launched a “Discover” series of journals that seem to deliberately and systematically mimic the MDPI brand.”

Interested in #MOFs and #water in confinement? In the following publication we tried to derive the amount of differently ordered water species depending on the filling degree of the pores of MOF-74 analogues with the help of #IR spectroscopy.

I created a world map of #MOF reserach groups. More information in the following blog post:

Hey #ChemTwitter - Do you know of any groups from Russia working on #MOFs other than Vladislav A. Blatov (topology), Matvey V. Fedin (ESR spectroscopy), and Vladimir P. Fedin (CPs)?
I recently had the honour and pleasure of creating a cover image for my former colleague Michael Fischer. The cover illustrates how water displaces adsorbed 5-FU from zeolite pores.
Interested in the whole story? Read the paper (it's open access): pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

📢 We're looking for a postdoc to further develop and validate a novel optical method for plastic sorting for recycling.
🙏 Sharing much appreciated
📅 Apply by Aug 19 via the KU Leuven portal: kuleuven.be/personeel/jobsit…
#hiring #postdoc #plastic #recycling
Definitely a must-have! I am sure that my students will love the classroom demonstration of the Nanofab edition :-) @Kickstarter kickstarter.com/projects/hla…
A further milestone concerning the 230 space group diagrams project is accomplished: Now, also all diagrams for the space groups belonging to the tetragonal crystal system are complete.

ChatGPT for crystallographers!? Very interesting article and the corresponding web application is superb!
CrystaLLM source code, weights and datasets have been released! We've also updated the preprint with benchmarking results, an SI, & more.
Code: github.com/lantunes/CrystaLL…
Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2307.04340
In collaboration with @keeeto2000 & @rgraucrespo
I hope the loneliness at bluesky will soon be over - from now on, no more invitations are needed! Join #chembluesky !

I think it is the 4th or 5th time I started the fameous donut tutorial from Blender Guru @andrewpprice, but this time I finished it and I'm pretty happy with the result!
