The cover is out ! Supriya's work describing quantitavely through EELS, the levels of damage the imidazole linker undergoes as electron dose on MOF increases. Extremely useful info for lithography application. @ChemMater @ACSNanotation @MOF_papers

Our paper on MOF e-beam damage mechanisms is now out with artwork from @supriya_ghosh19 on the cover! Of course, @prashantksk help was involved... no other way around

Chirality is everywhere, from bodies to plants to optoelectronic devices. Got a glimpse of this work in Nick's talk at chirality conference. Nice to see TMV virus that affects vegetable growth feeling afraid of chiral Cu-S nanoparticles 🍥🍥🍥

Our news - Chiral NP effectively destroys virus capsids by cutting its capsid protein in half. Plants are cured after infection. In superb collaboration with Chuanlai Xu, Andrè de Moura and Petr Kral, NPs will be engineered to deal with other viruses, too

I like taking pretty electron microscope images so ended up being one of the finalists for Science as Art competition at MRS fall meeting #F22MRS Hit ✅ on the app for photo " #12 Hybrid Neural Networks" Btw insta page where I post these colored images

Is the research i do just a piece of paper, which can be stacked away in a corner or archived on the net? What is the real impact of scientific work? I do not like the idea of chasing papers, awards, titles. This just seems futile ... Maybe I am getting jaded.

Herb garden for this summer has crossed the critical nucleation barrier. Dreaming of fresh basil pesto and mint mojitos now.

I heard this in a lecture by @gmgrason that you cannot pack hexagons on a spherical surface without distorting them ... Saw this in a fruit where the hexagons and pentagons packed together on a spherical surface >> #biomimic #symmetry @UMBiointerfaces @UMengineering
