BREAKING: the 2024 Noble Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to E. F. Tom for the synthesis of a cubane using chemicals from a hardware store. In a shed. This is a huge win for brown chemistry, which will now replace green chemistry as the best way to pad grant applications.
Hey @NurdRage, I was thinking about your Pyrimethamine synthesis project and I was wondering whether the trimethyl orthoformate (which is very tedious to make) could possibly be substituted by tetraethyl orthosilicate? That should work as a dehydrating agent too.
The very classic Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction, which you might have seen in @NileRed2's Youtube channel icon. This one was set up by some students at the Makerspace I work for, and I think it turned out very well!

Information about the spotted substance and eluent are not required. The app will be released under a CC-BY-SA 3.0 (open source) once it's in an useable state. @doyale2

A friend of mine is working on an app for scanning and interpreting TLC plates. For some automatic detection features he needs a set of TLC pictures. Please reply with pictures of TLCs you ran with info about the stationary phase and the stain (including UV), if you want to help!
This is good. More scientists need to follow suit now. Leeches such as @ElsevierConnect and @ThiemeIntl need to be shown that they aren't providing "services that are essential to a well-functioning research [...] ecosystem" but rather cost science decades of progress.

A reviewer rejected my paper, and instead suggested me to familiarize myself with the following readings. I could not find them anywhere. After a control in GPT-2, my fears where confirmed. Those sources where 99% fake...generated by AI. lnkd.in/ejEbk5hj
Got number 41 today, 29 to go. I wonder if I will ever be able to afford the complete base series...
Hey @discord, is there any chance to get a clarification on the ToS changes regarding "dangerous activities"? I help with running several hobby science/chemistry centered communities, where activities might look dangerous to the untrained eye but in reality might not be. Thanks!
Of course we don't allow outright illegal content but it would be a bit concerning if someone with no training in the respective field gets to decide whether something is dangerous or not. Would really appreciate an answer as we are really uncertain atm.
@discord apparently you guys only see this if i @ the name directly. Could you please take a look at this?

There’s an opportunity to give your opinion on new regulations to ‘high risk’ chemicals in the EU. The survey is quite long, but is open to all countries and closes soon on Feb 20th.

if i can post this the new restrictions don't work
