See y'all in Texas

This may be the best way to publish republication studies - the EIC of a journal agrees, ahead of time, to publish the results of a replication study regardless of finding. Science needs replication, but I'd also note that non-replication doesn't automatically equal retraction

Looking forward to renewing acquaintances with the #chemical #engineering community these next 2 days

Submitted our USDA SBIR Grant proposal today. It, like the last 3 proposals submitted, pretty much went like this: images.app.goo.gl/hFTny3yYokz9Xv…

Back in November, Google announced 2.2 milllion new materials. Today, a paper in Chemistry of Materials from Ram Seshadri and Tony Cheetham dismantles that claim pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Absolutely hilarious and making the best of life's lemons

Yesterday, Chetham and Seshadri published a critical analysis in Chemistry of Materials of the Google AI/ML computational materials discovery published in nature in November. As usual, structurally driven thinking from these two, and well worth your time to read. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

1/ I just finished a 2.5 week trip through China today, my first visit in about a decade. I was there for family reasons, but it also happened to be my first time in the country as a tech industry observer My amateur travel journal on the China tech market -

To use the Montreal subway, you tap a paper ticket against the turnstile and it opens. But how does it work? And how can the ticket be so cheap that it's disposable? I opened up the tiny NFC chip inside to find out more... 1/15

Pretty fantastic view of a paper subway ticket

$850M is a large number and may be a large commitment for Air Liquide, but that's not nearly as large an investment as Exxon will need to make to produce the H2 for which this air separation unit is needed.

Workers discovered the bomb during excavation work ahead of building a water electrolysis plant to make green hydrogen. An Orlen predecessor company began construction of a coal-to-synthetic oil plant at the site in 1939—the same year German troops occupied Czechia.
