We have a big delegation from Levkin group at IX EFMC-ASMC congress in Zagreb, Croatia this year ☺️ Max, Julius and Janne are showing their progress in miniaturizing chemical synthesis! Check their posters👏 #EFMCASMC23

Julius Höpfner is showing his research on high-throughput on-chip solid-state synthesis on a students retreat🤓 Screening of multi-component reactions on DMA is promising due to miniaturised and automated combinatorial workflow. One glass slide = up to 10.000 compounds! 🧪

Are you in Heidelberg this Saturday, 01.07? Come and cheer for us on a dragon boat race🐲 We're seriously committed to beating last year's record 😎 More info: wsc-heidelberg.de/drachenboo… See you there! Photo: shout out to our strong team on a final training last Saturday 🙌

📢 Today's sizzling event at the institute: Our BBQ is in full swing! 🔥🍔🌭 📸 Colleagues connecting, bonds strengthening, and laughter echoing—this BBQ is a true community-building feast! 🤝🥳 🔥Let's keep the good times rolling! 🌞🏢

Visit our stand today to see cool spiders, 3D-printed polymers and a roller coaster 😇 #KIT_TdoT

Let us all be as sociable as bacteria building bridges over a hydrophobic lubricant-infused surface 😇 Our colleague Wenxi Lei studied this phenomenon to see if we can manipulate the shapes of bacteria-built bridges by the patterned surface🤓 @AdvSciNews What we found!⬇️

✨Introducing our remarkable ionic elastomer! It combines cross-linked poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) networks with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), utilizing PEG's long chains to dissolve electrolytes, enhance stability, minimize leakage, and improve mechanical properties. Wow!🙌

Monday - a perfect time to show you more of our 3D-printing projects 😎 Today is a thread about #superhydrophobic materials! They offer ✅water repellency, ✅self-cleaning, ✅anti-biofouling, ✅and superoleophobic characteristics. Looks fancy, right? ⬇️for more:

If you're curious about the science behind the ❤️ and 🍆 tweets, make sure to check out our paper in Advanced Materials @AdvSciNews : "Assembly of Multi-Spheroid Cellular Architectures by Programmable Droplet Merging" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… The follow-up paper is coming soon!🤗

Check out our liquid dispenser in action! 😃 The dispenser is core to our DMA miniturization technology. In this video, @JanneWiedmann is using it for her chemical extraction, which we tweeted about last week. #science #research @KITKarlsruhe @TrajanScience (Certus Flex)
