Could there be π½ life in Venusβs clouds?
Up to six missions are planned to explore our hot neighbor.
In our latest #astrobiology paper, we ask: Could carbon-free heteropolymers be the backbone of life in sulfuric-acidβrich clouds? Check it out!

Excited to see our work featured by Digital Discovery!
Tired of quantum noise ruining your chemistry sims?
Our new MREM method brings multireference insight to error mitigationβboosting accuracy for strongly correlated molecules on NISQ hardware.
Proud of this collaboration with @rahmlab.bsky.social

A Quest for the Worldβs Most Energetic Compound
In a recent article, Lara Harter and Guillaume Belanger-Chabot (both at UniversitΓ© Laval in Quebec) and I computationally investigate the feasibility of making dinitroacetylene (C2(NO2)2; see Fig 1β¦
π₯ How much energy can be squeezed into chemical bonds before reality objects? A part of my scientific journey has been focused on answering that question, by both modeling and making extremely energetic materials.
In this blog post, I reflect on that pursuit rahmlab.com/2025/07/23/a... #chemsky

The idea of a Boltzmann brain, a π§ spontaneously appearing someplace in space believing it is you granted the universe is large enough, is bogus. In contrast, here is evidence for the Boltzmann hut (Swedish: koja), a series of branches randomly assembling to form a hut. #thermodynamics #chemsky

New powder that captures carbon could be βquantum leapβ for industry
A βcovalent organic frameworkβ can be used to capture carbon to store it or convert it for industrial use
Example of nonsense #science reporting βJust half a pound of the stuff may remove as much carbon dioxide as a tree can, according to early tests. β. What!? Maybe if the #MOF is reused A LOT? #chemsky www.theguardian.com/environment/...

European Committee for Chemical Bonding
A society dedicated to advancing the science and research of chemical bonding theory in Europe. Founded with the aim of fostering scientific excellence and collaboration, ECCB serves as a hub for researchers, academics, and professionals in the field. Our activities include organizing conferences such as the European Symposium on Chemical Bonding (ESCB), awarding prizes and scholarships for groundbreaking research, and publishing special issues in scientific journals to highlight significant contributions in chemical bonding. Committed to non-profit and public-benefit principles, ECCB ensures that all funds are utilized solely for promoting scientific endeavors without personal gain. With its headquarters in Leipzig, ECCB is a vibrant community that welcomes members from across Europe, offering opportunities for professional growth, networking, and recognition in the field of chemical bonding theory.
Happy to have been elected board member of the European Committee for Chemical Bonding (ECCB)! Great community - I can recommend membership to those digging bonds. #chemsky #compchemsky #chembond www.eurchembond.com
