  1. @kristinHenry I have been patiently waiting for vector to be the #SciArtSeptember prompt!

    As demonstrated by the Bader group at #McMasterUniversity the gradient #vector field of the total electron density partitions molecules into #quantum atoms. And the gradient #vector field of its Laplacian identifies reactive sites of atoms that characterize their #chemistry.

  2. Things are heating up for my dreams of a color furnace! My color base batch (raw glass batch without the usual decolorants) arrived and we found a time that Mike could stop by and offer his sage color melting wisdom while I have both of the workstations rented for the weekend. The furnace is getting dialed in and this will be the first time it is getting used!

    I mixed the color base really well and we split it in half for two melts. I added black nickel oxide, sulfur, pine rosin, Barium Nitrate and red iron oxide to *hopefully turn my color base into a dark amber

    Sunday my tube puller in Philly, (and myself) have to work- but Monday we will pull tubes out of the color furnace! Soon I will get all the glass out of the existing crucible, flush it with compatible glass, then take that out and begin charging the brown batch!

    So exciting!

  7. Contractor Admits They, Not Imaginary Antifa Vandals, Wrecked the Reflecting Pool

    Shitty renovations—not antifa supersoldiers—are the reason that the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool’s liner began to crack and pool…

  8. Meet our group members! We continue with our PhD candidates. Today with the wonderful Rana Shojaei.

    "Hi, I'm Rana! I studied physics for both my bachelor's and master's degree. My favorite subjects were statistical physics and quantum mechanics. In my thesis I studied the evolution of social networks by introducing a dynamical model."

    Rana is our expert in counting things. What sounds easy at first proves to be an interesting challenge. She uses generating functions to analyze the structural diversity of molecules in dissolved organic matter (DOM) and of unlabeled graphs.

    Find out how this works in this paper:
    doi.org/10.1017/nws.2026.10025

    Other publications: doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.100.0

  9. 💡 Latest news from our novel nickel/magnesium oxide catalyst for carbon dioxide methanation, which was developed by Anna in our team:

    ⚗️ The catalyst has proven superior activity also in a dynamic methanation experiment relevant to Power-to-Gas scenarios powered by volatile green energy. These measurements have been performed in the lab of our collaboration partner, the Albert group at Hamburg University. Many thanks for a fruitful collaboration to our southern neighbors!

    🔗 doi.org/10.1039/d6cy00548a

    🧪 Meanwhile, we have looked deeper into the synthesis chemistry of the catalyst precursor. The hydrothermal crystallization and evolution of the nickel-to-magnesium ratio over precursor ageing, both very important for the high catalytic activity, have been monitored allowing a better control of the synthesis reaction.

    🔗 doi.org/10.1021/acs.inorgchem.

    🥳 Congrats to Anna for this new first-author paper, and -once again- also for receiving the publication prize of CAU’s MNF faculty for PhD candidates for her original paper on this exciting new catalyst (see our post from October 2025: fediscience.org/@SolidStateChe)!

  10. Chemical Thermodynamics by M.Kh. Karapetyants

    The book is primarily aimed at students in higher education specialising in chemistry, particularly future engineers. The author has avoided unnecessary abstraction and overly complex mathematics to ensure the material remains practical and accessible, while still providing a solid theoretical foundation. The content includes approximate laws that allow for quick, practical problem-solving, even when precise values are unavailable. The author integrates empirical thermodynamics with the periodic table to make thermodynamic concepts more comprehensible, particularly entropy, which students often find difficult to grasp.

    The book also addresses the importance of connecting thermodynamics with other branches of chemistry, such as general and inorganic chemistry, to enhance students’ understanding for later courses. The primary focus is on the thermodynamics of gaseous systems, with less emphasis on solutions and electrolytes. Numerous examples, mainly related to inorganic substances and chemical processing, help students apply theory to practical problems, with calculations that can be compared to experimental data. The book also includes many tables and figures derived from various sources to support these applications.

  12. Chemical Thermodynamics by M.Kh. Karapetyants

    The book is primarily aimed at students in higher education specialising in chemistry, particularly future engineers. The author has avoided unnecessary abstraction and overly complex mathematics to ensure the material remains practical and accessible, while still providing a solid theoretical foundation. The content includes approximate laws that allow for quick, practical problem-solving, even when precise values are unavailable. The author integrates empirical thermodynamics with the periodic table to make thermodynamic concepts more comprehensible, particularly entropy, which students often find difficult to grasp.

    The book also addresses the importance of connecting thermodynamics with other branches of chemistry, such as general and inorganic chemistry, to enhance students’ understanding for later courses. The primary focus is on the thermodynamics of gaseous systems, with less emphasis on solutions and electrolytes. Numerous examples, mainly related to inorganic substances and chemical processing, help students apply theory to practical problems, with calculations that can be compared to experimental data. The book also includes many tables and figures derived from various sources to support these applications.

  14. Chemical Thermodynamics by M.Kh. Karapetyants

    The book is primarily aimed at students in higher education specialising in chemistry, particularly future engineers. The author has avoided unnecessary abstraction and overly complex mathematics to ensure the material remains practical and accessible, while still providing a solid theoretical foundation. The content includes approximate laws that allow for quick, practical problem-solving, even when precise values are unavailable. The author integrates empirical thermodynamics with the periodic table to make thermodynamic concepts more comprehensible, particularly entropy, which students often find difficult to grasp.

    The book also addresses the importance of connecting thermodynamics with other branches of chemistry, such as general and inorganic chemistry, to enhance students’ understanding for later courses. The primary focus is on the thermodynamics of gaseous systems, with less emphasis on solutions and electrolytes. Numerous examples, mainly related to inorganic substances and chemical processing, help students apply theory to practical problems, with calculations that can be compared to experimental data. The book also includes many tables and figures derived from various sources to support these applications.

  35. 🎂🐈‍⬛ Happy Birthday, Marvin the Cosmic Cat.

    Humans may have solved the Navier–Stokes Millennium Problem.

    Marvin and his human had another question:
    “Yes, but what exactly is the liquid?”

    What followed involved viscosity, cream, treacle, glass, molecular forces, dissolved gases, capillary action — and an important distinction:

    Mathematical existence ≠ physical persistence of the model.

    A mathematical trajectory can remain perfectly valid while its translation into the behaviour of a real material requires another question:

    Does the material remain inside the model's applicability domain all the way there?

    Marvin explains. Naturally. 😼

  36. 🎂🐈‍⬛ Happy Birthday, Marvin the Cosmic Cat.

    Humans may have solved the Navier–Stokes Millennium Problem.

    Marvin and his human had another question:
    “Yes, but what exactly is the liquid?”

    What followed involved viscosity, cream, treacle, glass, molecular forces, dissolved gases, capillary action — and an important distinction:
