When solvents are also reactants: how methanol directs the reaction of lime with carbon dioxide to the vaterite polymorph of calcium carbonate (rather than the more stable calcite polymorph). pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs… #CaCO3 @BraggRoyceLeeds @RoyceInstitute @EPSRC_CMAC
A great meeting bringing together colleagues old and new, for the first time in years. A big thank you to the organising team!

🌐This week we welcomed over 120 scientists from across our international community for our Spectroscopy Group User Meeting 2024.
🤝Thank you to everyone who joined us to showcase the recent scientific results and the latest developments across the Spectroscopy Group.
We are looking for a surface scientist at postdoctoral level to work with us on steel surface chemistry for future transport applications: green ammonia fuel, sustainable engine lubrication, suppression of deposits. jobs.leeds.ac.uk/vacancy.asp…

Read @ChemistryWorld article by @AngeliMehta on RUEDI national facility. Interview with Prof. Browning & @SLMSchroeder chemistryworld.com/news/124-…
Really pleased to contribute to the development of this national facility. An extremely important investment for the field of ultrafast chemical dynamics. @RoyceInstitute @BraggRoyceLeeds @EPSRC_CMAC @UniversityLeeds @RUEDI_UK chemistryworld.com/news/124-…
Over the last few days I have seen multiple examples of manipulated/'invented' XRD data in the literature. Such papers must be retracted. There is precedent - see dx.doi.org/10.1038/NCHEM.283…

Making good use of the excellent infrastructure of the ID31 end station at the @esrfsynchrotron.
PhD position available. We've got funding for a cool surface science PhD project, looking at how replacing diesel by ammonia to achieve net zero impacts on the operation of combustion engines.
Looking for a PhD opportunity in a timely, future-proof research field? Green ammonia is a net-zero fuel that is a serious contender for replacing fossil fuels for the transport of goods. We've teamed up with an industrial partner for this project.

Congratulations to our team member Paul Edwards
who has today been awarded a PhD degree for his work on Brønsted interactions in organic crystal structures, using XPS at @RoyceInstitute and @BraggRoyceLeeds, and NEXAFS at @DiamondLightSou. @DiamondILO

Interested in how state-of-the-art analytical science can guide your product formulation strategy? Join us in London at @SCIupdate on 23-24 January. soci.org/events/formulation-… @RoyceInstitute @EPSRC_CMAC @BraggRoyceLeeds @DiamondILO
18-19 Jan 2024, Plymouth, UK. Join the @UKXFEL science team and catch a glimpse of what the future holds for experimental condensed matter physics, including AI and Quantum Computing. eventbrite.co.uk/e/uk-xfel-t…
No, that's not what this debate is about. AI/ML is important. We all want predictive, fast synthesis of materials with targeted properties. This is about maintaining minimum principles of science. When claims in a paper seem not supported by the analysis, one worries.

Abstract: "the A-Lab realized 41 novel compounds from a set of 58 targets". @Robert_Palgrave shows at least 6 'novel' compounds are likely not the claimed new structures (cif files). Cool synthesis platform, but implementation and science flaws. @Nature, retract-rewrite-resubmit?
Congratulations to our team member @JamesBucag who has today been awarded a PhD degree for "Fundamental Studies of Corrosion on Soft Metal/Lubricant Interfaces Using X-ray Spectroscopy". Major analytical work performed in the @RoyceInstitute XPS facility at @BraggRoyceLeeds.
How to integrate synchrotron-based advanced characterisation in your PAT strategy. Quantitative insight into a 3-step multi-component manufacturing process involving a solid, two liquid and a gas phase. @EPSRC_CMAC @BraggRoyceLeeds @cP3CDT @moltoproduct doi.org/10.1021/acs.iecr.3c0…
At the @UKXFEL Townhall meeting at the University of Strathclyde. Discussing ultrafast dynamics of matter probed with attosecond pulses. Timely for today's @NobelPrize for Physics announcement! Bright future for condensed matter and materials science. @BraggRoyceLeeds
