Last day at Universität Basel with our beloved postdoc Chris Whitehead (soon to be Prof. Chris). Good luck with your new adventure in New York. Special thanks to DJ. @jonathan_deroo for the amazing playlist and PCC Unibas for organizing the summer party.

Had a really cool time in Lisbon attending 10th EuChemS Chemistry Congress. Outstanding scientific exchange, neat career kickstart guidance by American Chemical Society, interaction with lots of amazing people and a poster prize as a cherry on top. EuChemS

Congratulations to the Chemistry PhDs Football Team for winning the Science Cup 🥳🏆 #PCC #winningteam #Chemistry #Unibasel

Finally, the thread (you didn't know) you have been waiting for 🥳 "How can we use X-ray scattering to learn about the way the atoms sit in a #small #nanoparticle?" - lets use the Pair Distribution Function #PDF ! It's all about the neighbors 1/6 /Rebecca Pittkowski

Tip for PhD Success: Do nothing today. It’s Sunday.

The #Chemistry team again came strong during the inter-faculty #futsal tournament and defeated the Biozentrum, Psychology and Physics before ceding the place to the Medicine team in the finals! Congratulation on winning the runner-up prize sponsored by Syngenta. #Unibas

Beamtime day-3 😅 #BNL #NSLSII #NewYork

Beamtimes are always exciting, this one is a bit more special when it is the last one from your Ph.D. Had a cool time looking at lots of samples from Group of Prof. Parac-Vogt - Bioinorganic Chemistry and other collaborators. Thanks Dr. Nada and Carlotta. DESY (Deutsch) De Roo Lab

#ASAP: Detailed investigation of the pre-crystallization phase of zirconium oxide nanocrystals using X-ray total scattering and small angle scattering. By De Roo Lab @kirsten_mj @b_abk6 Billinge Group #OpenAccess 🔓 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Combing X-ray PDF, SAXS, NMR, and TEM, Rohan Pokratath and an international team investigated the nucleation and growth of zirconia nanocrystals, read more in the link below⬇️

Rohan Pokratath is talking about zirconia nanocrystal synthesis and mechanisms now #UKColloids2023

Interested in #electrocalysis? High Entropy Alloys? #Xrays? Come work with us in Center for High Entropy Alloy Catalysis @ UCPH - we have an open #PhDposition at Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen at University of Copenhagen in beautiful #Copenhagen. Application via the link below until 06.08. candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationIni…

Grateful for an amazing experience at the #UKColloids2023! 🙌 It was a fantastic opportunity to learn from industry experts, engage in thought-provoking discussions, and connect with like-minded professionals. A heartfelt thanks to Swiss-crystallography SCI – Where Science Meets Business💡 for their funding.

It’s a big day for the De Roo lab as we have our first Ph.D. graduate from the lab. Rohan successfully defended his Ph.D. today. Congratulations Dr. Rohan Pokratath 🥳🎉🍾

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2023 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Moungi G. Bawendi, Louis E. Brus and Alexei I. Ekimov “for the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots.”

On the train back towards Hamburg after an exciting SPS-XRPD Workshop. Thanks to Excelsus Structural Solutions and co-organizers for an amazing event at the Novartis Campus in Basel. We are grateful for the opportunity to present the PXRD/PDF capabilities P02.1 DESY DESY (English).
