Happy new year with great new chemistry! We just disclosed a procedure for spiropyran exchange: doi.org/10.1002/anie.2024195… Our new method accelerates spiropyran photoswitch development and helps to boost the performance of dual color photoinitiators in xolography @xolo3D

Nice to finally see this amazing work out👌 Already the video of team @xolo3D at zero gravity - dreadlocks floating all over the place - was lovely: xitter.cf/xolo3d/status/17037606… And I only regret to not have been with you guys… When is the next campaign?

Congrats to @FilippoGiovann7 on your second impressive achievement in your doctoral work soon to be Ph-inishe-D😉 Personally, I admire the fact that you acquired each and every STM image in all of your work yourself👌
Moiré magic!🌀Tuning of the electric field induced by the STM tip at the tunneling junction induces reversible phase transformations of epitaxial molecular crystals, allowing the control their superstructures. Open access now in 👉 @acsnano: doi.org/10.1021/acsnano.4c12…

Materials are more than „just“ quantifyable performance parameters - they bestow character and feel upon an object and allow for its physical experience. This is where materials meet perception and arts and thus I am truly looking forward to this event!
🧪🖼️#CSMB_MEETS_ARTS We are thrilled to host an exhibition showcasing works by Dr. Sabine Wrabetz (#CatLab @fhi_mpg_de)! 📅Wed, May 29, 4:00 pm 📍Foyer, CSMB, @HumboldtUni DJ Collin van Dey spins tunes🎛️ & refreshments are served 🥜🥂! ➡️ Register now: csmb.hu-berlin.de/events/art…
