Natural vs artificial: a hot topic for chemists since... when? When it comes to flavors, it's 1851 -the birth of artificial flavors. We told this story and many more in Episode 6 of our podcast “Homo Umamis” (in ITA). A nice listen for cleaning out thelab! spoti.fi/3RfkJRF

Today, together with all the other invitees and participants of #CICAPfest , I am doing my best to "do my part in this difficult country". #Graziepiero

Grande folla per "un viaggio nel paranormale religioso" #CICAPFest2023

#Superstizioni e pratiche #folkloristiche spiegate con #metodoscientifico e un pizzico di ironia da Il chimico sulla tavola (Chiara Biagini e Matteo Capone) #CICAP #CICAPFest #CICAPFest23 #Padova #scienza #divulgazionescientifica #curiosità #divulgazione

Iniziata la CICAP FEST "COMEDY CLUB" con Francesco Lancia ad aprire la serata di #stand-up comedy più attesa #CICAP #CICAPFest23 #comicita

Last Saturday we had the pleasure to discuss about the science of folklore in the incredible frame of #CICAPfest, the event hosted by CICAP to enhance and celebrate skeptical thinking. Honoured to be part of this as a science communicator!

Il mio nuovo libro/fumetto è in preordine! (qui il video completo di presentazione youtube.com/watch?v=Wrf8lM…) Feltrinelli Editore Tito Faraci @luca_bertele

Absolutely thrilled to be part of this amazing collaborative work - out now in Science Magazine! VilleKaila Stockholm University EMBO EMBO Fellows science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Stupidity is important in scientific research. This is a very important message. Myself, I often say to students “You should know enough to start your research but never enough to know the outcome. Learn as you go.” ▫️ Prof. Martin Schwartz (Yale Univ.) discusses this in his

Deciphering the molecular origin of enzymes' enatioselectivity for organic synthesis is crucial! Our last computational work with @HysterLab on ACS Catalysis proposes a new enantio-induction scenario feasible for flexible molecules in wide pockets! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

How can we efficiently learn ML potentials for atomistic systems with few and expensive reference data? Here we explored a transfer learning approach via a combination of pre-trained graph neural networks & kernel ridge regression openreview.net/forum?id=Enzew… #NeurIPS2023 #ML4science

Che quella di #ozempic e #wegovy fosse una storia grossa si era capito da un po', ma la notizia dell'assegnazione del premio "Breakthrouh of the Year" a questi medicinali da parte della rivista Science ha colto un po' tutti di sorpresa /1

Non c'è solo la scienza a essere ancora troppo maschile, anche la divulgazione della scienza lo è

On PCCP you can just find our last work 😎 We propos a new computational tool to study the Infrared features of Photosystem2 reaction center. What a journey! Thanks to alla the people that made this possible! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

🏅PREMIO PRIMO LEVI 2023: i finalisti!🏅 Questo pomeriggio vi facciamo conoscere Matteo Capone (Università degli Studi dell'Aquila), ed il suo lavoro candidato al #PremioLevi2023 Video: youtu.be/n7QH2uYhDiw

Thrilled to share my nature paper is a finalist for the 2023 Primo Levi Award by the Società Chimica Italiana! In the video I try to explain in a simple way (quite a difficult task😅) the breakthrough of our research carried on at Università degli Studi dell'Aquila! youtu.be/n7QH2uYhDiw?fe…

Pronti per la #EuropeanResearchersNight? Venite a trovarci a #Modena per un viaggio immersivo nelle molecole o uno speed-date quantistico con i nostri ricercatori e ricercatrici!🌟Vi aspettiamo per una notte di innovazione e scoperte! #ERN2024 #NotteCNR @cnrsocial_ UNIMORE

I’m not usually one for the classic “thrilled to announce” posts, but… I’m deeply grateful for this honor, which it’s a small but meaningful victory in the ongoing battle with that annoying imposter syndrome!😉

Exciting news! First publication since joining CNR Istituto Nanoscienze in Modena! Using multiscale QM/MM simulations, we uncovered the crucial role of conformational and protonation heterogeneity in Channelrhodopsin-2 photocycle branching. Check it out! #Optogenetics sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Light meets life at the molecular level 🌞🧬 The CECAM Workshop Frontiers in Simulation of Photoresponsive Biological Systems is underway in Siena! Exciting talks and big questions on how photoactive biomolecules work — and how we can harness them. cecam.org/workshop-detai…
