SAVE THE DATE! 1 - 3 OCT 2025 at Utrecht! #TeamMassSpec #TeamCryoEM #TeamSPM Together with @hecklab , we will organize the next (3rd!) meeting in bringing mass spectrometry and imaging methods together, started by Coon Lab Stephan Rauschenbach back in 2022.

Sunrise in Dundee in the morning, arriving for the 2024 "BMSS Biomacromolecular Structure SIG" (British Mass Spectrometry Society) meeting. I think the hands-on + talks format is excellent. Very affordable. Thanks for inviting me - next time I bring the entire group.

🚨 Check out our latest work in Nature Nanotechnology in collaboration with the teams of Joaquin Fernández Rossier J Fernández Rossier at INL and Xinliang Feng Xinliang Feng at cfaed | TU Dresden 🇪🇺. 💡 rdcu.be/dYmGG #CarboQuant #SpinChains #TopologicalPhases Empa Werner Siemens-Stiftung

Our latest out on the arXiv.org: "Direct imaging of carbohydrate stereochemistry" together with Shuning Cai, Joakim Jestilä, and Adam Foster. arxiv.org/abs/2410.20897

🧵 Using nc-AFM, we've visualized #cyclodextrins (CDs) with submolecular resolution— molecules made of glucose units with the remarkable ability to "trap" other molecules. 1/10 (paper in Nat Comm: rdcu.be/dYWOL)

stm25.org STM conference is back - interesting. #STM #AFM #microscopy

Excited to share our latest paper revealing the atomic-resolution structure and conformations of glycans! Huge thanks to our amazing team Stephan Rauschenbach, Nanosurf Lab, Czech Advanced Technology and Research Institute, with key contributions from Marko Grabarics, Benjamin Mallada, and Shayan Edalatmanesh! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Very happy to share our newest preprint on self-assembly, rearrangement and disassembly of polymetallic {Cr6} horseshoes in vacuo and on surfaces, in collaboration wiht Kelvin Anggara! Many thanks to all co-authors from UoM Chemistry and Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Today we test our new pico ammeter from CGC Instruments (cgc-instruments.com/en/Products/Ex…). There are few instruments like this on the market. But they are crucial for monitoring molecular ion beams for instance for ESIBD. I hope for 0.1 pA resolution...

I have a PhD already. But interesting… maybe one more would not hurt. Which functional molecules might that be - mysterious. -> highly recommended.

Save the Date to your calendar! The 45th BMSS Annual Meeting will be held from 8-10 September 2025 in Edinburgh! 🗓️ 🎉 🏰 The Society looks forward to welcoming members, colleagues and friends old and new to Edinburgh in 2025. Stay Tuned for further details soon!

Thanks - The best picture of my teaching office ever. Top and center.

#DPG meeting in Regensburg. The program is out. Benjamin Mallada is in the infamous Friday lunchtime session. This is the coolest session of the surface section. We also have a few things in Biophysics. See you all in Regensburg in a few weeks.

Exciting collaboration Florian Glöcklhofer and HeeneyGroup on a novel conjugated macrocycle system! Our ESD-STM analysis delivered stunning images while providing powerful insights into mass distribution, 2D assembly and even isomer quantification! UoBChemistry

It looks so nice when it all works. …. Benjamin Mallada measured this. You can try to guess the molecule … it’s a classic.

From Taylor cone formation to gaseous ions, the complete ESI process has been modeled with continuous solution flow for the first time! Our very own Mahsa Dolatkhah has just published her MD simulations in our newest paper. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Two of our DPhil students, Jack and Sophie are organising a one-day open access symposium Worcester College, Oxford: Uncovering Hidden Biology in September 2025. Check out their website: uncoverhiddenbio.com for more information about attending! Uncovering Hidden Biology 2025 #uhb2025

#preprint on biorxiv. Ulrich Lorenz group at EPFL took Stephan Rauschenbach (Oxford Chemistry Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery, Oxford) protein samples (mass selected protein landed from the gas phase) and used laser flash melting📸 to return them to native conformation. #cryoEM #massspec biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
