looks super exciting, looking forward to seeing it accepted somewhere soon :-)

Our work @angewandtechemie.bsky.social explores solar energy storage in NBD/QC dimers. We discovered an interplay between structure, fluorescence, and switching. The best system reached an efficiency of 2.9% a record for what we have developed so far onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2025 receives record number of 17,058 proposals This year’s annual MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships call has attracted considerable interest from the research community with 17,058 proposals submitted.

Applications for MCSA are up 64%! 50% now come from outside the EU. Trump effect?

The European Research market just got a hell of a lot more crowded.

EU should turn on the tap

Excited state computational analysis using TheoDORE, revealed a higher percentage of charge transfer character in S0S1 in TIPS-PY compared to PY which can enhance the coupling of the triplet-pair state with the excited singlet-state, thereby increasing the efficiency of singlet generation.

A new green-emitting annihilator (TIPS-PY) display a record red-to-green TTA-UC quantum yield. The efficiency was achieved due to features of the TIPS-PY: 1) retaining a high fluorescence QY 2) reduced triplet energy to 1.29 eV and 3) a high efficiency of singlet generation after triplet coupling

Excited to share the publication of “Enhancing the Statistical Probability Factor in Triplet-Triplet Annihilation Photon Upconversion via TIPS Functionalization” in @chemicalscience.rsc.org

"Spain’s wind and solar growth has reduced the influence of expensive fossil generators on the electricity price by 75% since 2019.... As a result, Spain’s wholesale electricity price was 32% lower than the EU average in the first half of 2025." 🔌💡

Fake microscopy images generated by AI are indistinguishable from the real thing Materials scientists warn that raw data and replication studies are needed to tackle the looming threat of near-undetectable AI fraud

Nanomaterials researchers are warning of the threat posed to their discipline by fake microscopy images generated by AI.

Frequency Targeting In #superconducting quantum processors isn’t just a design detail — it’s a scaling bottleneck. Frequency crowding → higher gate error rates. Here we show how we work with this at con-science.se
