Joe, Jeremy, Eric and George recently back from QAMTS 2022 in Alberta, Canada. Congratulations to Eric and @GeorgeTrenins, who both won a PCCP Presentation Prize!

Excited that Eric and Jeremy's paper on heavy-atom tunnelling in nitrene spin-crossover reactions has now been published in Angewandte Chemie onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Heavy-Atom Quantum Tunnelling in Spin Crossovers of Nitrenes: Instanton simulations based on two classical trajectories provide excellent agreement with experiment and predict quantum effects even at room temperature Richardson Group ETHZ ETH Zurich #OpenAccess onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Congratulations to Eric Heller on successfully defending his doctoral thesis!

Glad to see the collaboration with Evangelos Miliordos and Richardson Group ETHZ on the selective oxidation of methane to methanol published in JPCL (pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…)

Check out our instanton rate theory for reactions through conical intersections Chemical Science. Competition between tunnelling and the geometric-phase effect leads to instantons that either bypass or wind around the CI (pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…) Richardson Group ETHZ #MyFirstChemSci

If you're interested in the broader context of our work on tunnelling rates through conical intersections, take a look at this news article in Chemistry World (chemistryworld.com/news/instanton…) Richardson Group ETHZ

To all the statistical mechanics out there, a reminder that the 23nd annual Berkeley Stat Mech Meeting will occur Jan 12-14 College of Chemistry. Check out the website for more information. Registration is open sign up now! berkeleystatmech.org/home-2/

Excited to see Eric's Eric Heller preprint in which he has devised a way to calculate rates in nonequilibrium systems by extending instanton theory away from equilibrium. Check out how an active field theory nucleates a stable phase below arxiv.org/abs/2403.18794 College of Chemistry

Honoured to receive the Sigrid-Peyerimhoff – Promotionspreis from @AGTheoChem (agtc.univie.ac.at/?page_id=70) at this year’s STC (stc2024.de). Grateful for the inspiring environment Richardson Group ETHZ D-CHAB. #compchem #theochem

Excited to see Imaad's paper with @GeorgeTrenins, Richardson Group ETHZ and me on the deactivation of singlet oxygen in water published in Nature Communications (nature.com/articles/s4146…), where we predict immense tunnelling at room temperature. Check out the summary at richardson.ethz.ch/news/2024/05/i…

First winner of the 2024 Sigrid-Peyerimhoff-Award by @AGTheoChem, Eric Heller nicely illustrates his work on tunneling in nonadiabatic reactions with analogy to his former PhD location #STC2024
