I am now (also) on @bluesky (rahmlab.bsky.social). In hopes that the scientific community will again meet under one roof. Too many in science have left X, and for good reasons. Long live (reasonable) #contentmoderation and civil discourse. Death to the #bots. 👻 4X.

(Super)Conducting Radical Pancakes! Bold predictions of structure, chemical bonding and conductivity, by @rahmlab at Chalmers University of Technology #openaccess 🔓 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Prediction of One‐Dimensional Metallicity and π‐Band Superconductivity in Rhodizonate Radical...

Equidistant stacking of radicals is typically unstable due to symmetry-lowering distortions. We predict that such arrangements can be stabilized by multicentered covalent (“pancake”) bonding and...

Could there be 👽 life in Venus’s clouds? Up to six missions are planned to explore our hot neighbor. In our latest #astrobiology paper, we ask: Could carbon-free heteropolymers be the backbone of life in sulfuric-acid–rich clouds? Check it out! 🔗 cambridge.org/core/journals/…

The idea of a Boltzmann brain, a 🧠 spontaneously appearing someplace believing it is you granted the universe is large enough, is bogus. In contrast, here is evidence for the Boltzmann hut, a series of branches randomly assembling to form a hut. #Thermodynamics #chemtwitter

During the holidays, I revisited an idea I bring up (usually after a few drinks): A Theory of Food Evolution! 🥖🍕 Just like species evolve, so does food. Which food risks extinction, and what food evolution will happens in zero gravity? #FoodForThought rahmlab.com/2025/01/04/a-the…
