Great time last week down at Diamond Light Source with Liam Perera and Charles Cockell looking at cold perchlorate solutions! @UKAstrobiology #astrobiology #Mars

Read about our latest work online at the Irish Independent 🪐 also got a nice mention on Newstalk Breakfast this morning 🔬💫☄️ ProtoSigns DCU Research DCU Science and Health DCU School of Chemical Sciences DCU Life Sciences Institute independent.ie/irish-news/iri…

Effect of Temperature on Calcium-Based Chemical Garden Growth by Pamela Knoll and Corentin C. Loron #OpenAccess onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/sy…

📸 All it takes is one shot: Oliver Steinbock of FSU Chemistry & Biochemistry used patterns formed by a salt solution to train a machine learning algorithm. Now it can identify the chemical composition of different salts from just a photo. Published in PNASNews. news.fsu.edu/news/science-t…

New paper in PNASNews on "Composition of dried drop stains from photos" . In a nutshell: we took 7500 images of 42 different salts, trained ML, and can now predict composition from single unknown photos. Below are KNO3 and NaNO3 examples. #FSU #Chemistry pnas.org/doi/epdf/10.10…

Nature picked up our PNASNews video of drying salt drops in their best science image section nature.com/immersive/d415… ... scroll down, it's currently near the bottom of the page📸🧂💧

Predicting the unpredictable? AI could help demystify seemingly random salt crystallisation patterns. chemistryworld.com/news/ai-traine…

Some forms of corrosion proceed by surface waves. Our new model captures these waves and the associated height loss, revealing a viscous cycle of wave initiation from exposed intermetallic particles, material loss, and exposure of initially buried IMPs. doi.org/10.1002/advs.2…

This work was a collab between #FSU, #SLU, #UVA and will allow realistic multi-scale explorations into corrosion prediction, mitigation strategies, and alloy design. Stay tuned for extended models with detailed descriptions of the underlying electrochemistry of this cool Mg alloy

and yes, I meant "vicious", not "viscous cycle"😅👿🔥

#FSUResearch earns international attention ➡️ German magazine wissenschaft.de covered work from Oliver Steinbock that used artificial intelligence to identify the chemical composition of salts from images. Read more — auf Deutsch — here. FSU Global 🇩🇪🧂🔬 wissenschaft.de/technik-digita…

Stewart Gault Stewart Gault represents The UKCA at #AbGradE with his work on Biophysical methods in Astrobiology.

Excited to announce that the UKCA cohort has landed in #EANA2024, made possible by European Astrobiology Institute IWF Graz. Can't wait to share our latest findings and connect with fellow researchers and innovators. See you there!

Amazing talks by the UKCA's @SeanHMcMahon and Charles Cockell, and Hannah Pollak from the Valentina Erastova Group on #astrobiology, #claymodelling and #falsepositives at #EANA2024

Alumnus update: Zach McQueen a former undergrad researcher in our lab is now a postdoctoral researcher at NASA Goddard studying the atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan. Very proud of your accomplishments! 🔭🚀🪐

Using robotics and machine learning, FSU Chemistry & Biochemistry researchers developed a tool that can identify the chemical composition of dried salt solutions from an image with 99% accuracy. Published in Digital Discovery. news.fsu.edu/news/science-t…

We show that water hardness can be detected from simple photos using AI and large image libraries. As the limescale stains are faint, we amplify the effect of the Ca/Mg ions by reporter salts such as NaHCO3. Check out our paper in ES&T doi.org/10.1021/acs.es…

🤔 What if classic probability puzzles could be encoded in chemistry? We mapped the Monty Hall problem into a deterministic chemical reaction network using mass-action kinetics. Curious? ... then check out our latest paper with Wen Zhu Lab in PCCP doi.org/10.1039/D5CP01…
