🧼"Why does soap make bubbles?"
✍️ “Why can I draw with coloured pencils?”
💥"How does a chemical explosion work?"
These are some of the questions that I answered during the Klokhuis questions day held at NEMO Science Museum on Saturday. Such a pleasure to work with these super enthusiastic children!

Exo-templating via pseudorotaxane formation reduces pathway complexity in the multicomponent self-assembly of M12L24 nanospheres - Nature Chemistry
Non-covalent and covalent chemistry can be controlled by using synthetic tools, such as templates. However, selective multicomponent self-assembly remains challenging because of the many kinetic inter...

Super happy that my postdoc work from the @reisnerlab.bsky.social has been published in @jacs.acspublications.org! Check out my paper on enantioselective organic synthesis using semiartificial photoelectrochemistry 🧪☀️💊https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacs.5c02250
Semiartificial Photoelectrochemistry for CO2-Mediated Enantioselective Organic Synthesis
Photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells are under intensive development for the synthesis of solar fuels, but CO2 reduction typically only results in simple building blocks such as HCOO–. Here, we demonstrat...
