What does a Nobel-worthy reaction look like in motion? Watch “Soai’s Asymmetric Autocatalytic Dance”, a playful take on how a tiny chiral imbalance amplifies itself into near-perfect homochirality. #NobelPrize #Chirality youtube.com/watch?v=0POl3V-y…

Congratulations to Sabrina for successfully defending her excellent doctoral thesis about novel phosphine-ligands and catalysts (SabPhos)!

Congratulations to Max for successfully defending his excellent doctoral thesis about prebiotic phosphorylation reactions with prebiotically formed imidazolidine-4-thiones!

Congratulations to the Merck-Banyu Lectureship Award recipients Kenzo Yamatsugu and Masakazu Nambo visiting @LMU_Muenchen. Great talks about Chemical Catalysis Enabling Synthetic Intervention in Cellular Epigenome & Transformations of Organosulfones!

Congratulations to Simone for successfully defending her excellent doctoral thesis about autocatalytic transformations! Look at the hat, a little Oktoberfest!
