I don’t think I’ve ever had more fun in the lab than when I was making MOFs myself (and trying to use them for small-molecule X-ray structure determination). So let me celebrate by posting a few of the MOF crystals I prepared:

Bright green transparent metal-organic framework crystals prepared with copper and a “multipronged” carboxylic acid ligand. The crystals formed blocky roughly rectangular pieces with some very large emerald-like chunks.

Pink/red transparent metal-organic framework crystals prepared with cobalt and a “multipronged” carboxylic acid ligand. The crystals formed as a mixture of long rectangular types and aggregated chunks.

Purple transparent metal-organic framework crystals prepared with cobalt and a “multipronged” carboxylic acid ligand. The crystals formed long slightly blocky needles.

Clear transparent metal-organic framework crystals prepared with zirconium and a “multipronged” carboxylic acid ligand. The crystals formed chunky hexagons.

Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy

‘Tour de force’ experiment probes quantum tunnelling in action

Probing photons inside a barrier also challenges a long-standing interpretation of quantum physics.

Fel.

Ett öppet och demokratiskt samhälle ska inte vara tolerant mot intoleranta, lika lite som man ska vara tolerant mot kriminella.

Det är ett falskt narrativ. Stöder man själv inte demokrati ska man inte tillåtas sprida sitt gift i det demokratiska samtalet.
