Due shoutout to Alice Su, the frontline star of this remarkable work! 👏👏

Stefano Canossa @stecanossa.bsky.social · 4h

Incredible how so simple building blocks can form such a sophisticated, beautiful system... not to mention what we are still figuring out about it! Hopefully just the beginning of an exciting partnership with @jules-oppenheim.bsky.social and
@mirceadinca.bsky.social 🚀

Our first paper since the #MOF #NobelPrize and first collaboration with @stecanossa.bsky.social!

Alice performed one of the most detailed studies of MOF ion conductivity, rationalizing trends in cation type, charge carrier conc., and vacancy sites based on structure.

Identifying and Characterising Flexible Crystals

Mechanically flexible single crystals are emerging as a useful class of materials due to their unique combination of crystallinity and molecular-scale responses to applied mechanical stress. In this t...

I'm really lost with the ま/真 prefix in Japanese. It has its own conjugation pattern with exceptions 😭
Also, I don't understand how it works with い-adjectives.
In the sentence 「顔が真っ赤！」 (from my lesson), 赤い has lost its い and 真っ赤 is not an い-adjective. Why doesn't it need だ then?

That's so awesome Ken! 🌟

Stefano Canossa @stecanossa.bsky.social · 2d

That's the burden of a dual-space awareness: you probably unconsciously felt how uncomfortable their diffraction would be. Although sometimes the crystal is so pretty, the diffraction so elegant... and then the average structure is a purgatory.

omg that is a gemstone! 🤩

I'm so glad (right now, only now) that I did not start writing soon enough because of many other circumstances. 🙃

I saw that, scrolling your feed, but I had the impression that you just "revived" your profile or something and saw your low followers/following count 😄

If you saw enough of my FT galleries you'll know defects and disorder make for prettier total scattering patterns 😌 Looks great!! 👏👏

Love the "3D knitting", so much more elegant and cute than the ugly "interpenetration" 💯

At the time we did not know each other at all. His care for messaging every author personally strongly validated my belief in the importance of genuine and positive interactions with scientists: not obsessing on 'superstars', but rather trying to make the emerging ones feel the importance they have

Jumping on this great idea, here's my 1st #MOF paper: a dive into solvent and temperature driven structure change in IRMOF-9 single crystals 💎

As it's part of a special issue for Omar's Wolf prize, I still remember the emotion of an unexpected e-mail from him thanking me for the contribution 🥹
