I had another fun opportunity talking about #MOFs this time on the Swedish kids news program Lilla Aktuellt with my colleague Mathias Nero! #NobelPrize

So excited about this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry! I’m grateful to these pioneers, along with other scientists, for developing the fascinating field of MOFs, and for the inspiration they have provided me and a new generation of chemists. What exciting times! #MOFs #NobelPrize

Definitely the most surprised I've been upon acquiring a powder X-ray diffraction pattern, and then looking at the beatiful crystals in an electron microscope! 🔍💎

Using advanced electron crystallography techniques, researchers at Stockholm University have succeeded in determining the structure of the red pigment carmine. It turns out that the substance, used today in products such as candy and paint, has a complex porous structure.

Carmine is a red pigment used since antiquity to color textiles, in paintings by Rembrandt and Van Gogh, and today as a food coloring agent (E120).

Very excited that @esvenssongrape.bsky.social finally reveals the crystal structure of carmine by #3DED!

Brilliantly Red: The Structure of Carmine

Carmine is a red pigment made from dried cochineal, a scale insect that has been a source of brilliant scarlet reds in clothing and art for more than two millennia, with records dating back to 700 BC....

Really enjoyed reading your article! Thanks for the highly inspirational work. Curious to see how the various ions and water molecules are arranged. I want to forward your shoutout to the inventor of SU-102 @esvenssongrape.bsky.social

Exicted about our new work on the really unusual (and highly informative) water capture properties of the SU-102 MOFs. A shoutout to @keninge.bsky.social and his group for ongoing work with this awesome series! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

High-capacity water sorbent cycles without hysteresis under dry conditions - Nature Communications

There is a lack of water sorbents capable of cycling water vapor under dry conditions without hysteresis or decomposition. Here, the authors demonstrate that the anionic MOF SU-102 exhibits high-capac...
