Here is the promised update! Now the EPA has released their statement we can reveal all the disgusting details of the ‘tar balls’.... ...which are actually human-generated waste of fat and grease! Here’s what UNSW Science and MWAC found… thread below! 🧵


Many thanks to Dave Leigh from The University of Manchester for visiting UCLA on Oct 24 to give the Fall 2024 Donald J. Cram Distinguished Lecture! We enjoyed his lecture and amazing magic tricks! @uclacollege chemistry.ucla.edu/news/2024-dona…


Thrilled to see our first contribution out in J. Am. Chem. Soc.! Taciano Antônio dos Santos Wanderley, Roberto, Órla & Ben developed a practical, broad-scope and selective strategy for alkene 1,2-syn-difunctionalization, combining 1,3-DCs with electrochemical radical activation🪡✂️ 📜🔗:pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

A pleasure to Preview recent work by Emanuele Penocchio, Dean Astumian, OFS☮️🇺🇦✝️ and Giulio Ragazzon for Chem. Life is defined by its compartments, find out how 'thinking inside the box' helps us to understand nonequilibrium systems here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

If you haven’t read Dave Leigh group piece on molecular editing of rotaxanes yet (surl.li/nyivhc), perhaps our highlight (surl.li/cbtjhf ) in ChemPlusChem - written with Jędrzej Perdek and Rafał Grzelczak - will encourage you to check it out. If ‘molecular


Check out how we made a minuscule motor rotate 24 times in one direction on its own! Huge thanks to all involved, especially Dave Leigh for making this work possible ACS Publications Huakui Liu Axel Troncossi Stefan Borsley Ben Roberts 🇪🇺 Alex Betts pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

An incredible honor to receive award! Thank you so much to the committee, friends, collaborators and Supramolecular Chemistry for recognizing my work. Thrilled to share this achievement with my friend Qing He. Look forward to meeting you all in ISMSC2025, Kyoto
