This exciting paper shows AI design of materials, robotic synthesis. 10s of new compounds in 17 days. But did they? This paper has very serious problems in materials characterisation. In my view it should never have got near publication. Hold on tight let's take a look 😱

🚀 Exciting News! Our A-Lab has revolutionized inorganic materials discovery! Combining ab-initio calculations, historical data from literature, and robotic testing, we're rapidly uncovering new compounds. 🤖 nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Finally, this just appeared in Nature, pointing out that another earlier claim of near-ambient SC in LuHN (totally different classes of materials) is irreproducible and false nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Absence of near-ambient superconductivity in LuH2±xNy

Nature - Nitrogen-doped lutetium hydrides LuH2±xNy synthesized using a high-pressure and high-temperature synthesis technique did not show near-ambient superconductivity at pressures below...

More #LK99 good/bad news. Good news is more results have been reported. Bad news is exactly the same. NTU, an excellent university which has sent its students as PhD students and postdocs to CMTC over the years, reports insulating resistivity increasing with decreasing T and...

I was invited to write a Comment article for @NatRevMater regarding our color pigment discovery. Our thanks to Dr. Charlotte Allard @c_allardf for this 'out of the blue' opportunity. The article can be accessed at rdcu.be/cVtFZ @OSU_Chemistry @OSUScience

To this day, most inorganic pigments have been discovered by chance. Read our Comment by @Mas_OregonState and Jun Li to understand the science behind their colours, and why pigments with desired colours are so difficult to engineer: rdcu.be/cVtFZ @OSU_Chemistry

The foundation and structure of our new Chemistry Building are nearly complete! Because sustainability and #EnergyEfficiency are priorities for the building, locally sourced exterior glass and solar shading will help control indoor temperatures. 🛠 chemistrybuilding.umd.edu 🛠

If you are interested in learning how to safely make large, good quality of any alkali metal chalcogenide you can use liquid ammonia. See our group's video on a step by step procedure. youtu.be/2SCKDt5hIUI
