Congrats !
Come work with us at Nature Chemistry! We're hiring a locum editor to handle our chembio content in London or Pune.
In our first paper of 2026, @aliceieong.bsky.social puts NHC organocatalyst in action with mechanical force in ACS Catalysis!
🔨 NHC generated by milling a new betaine mechanophore to catalyse transesterification and polymerisation reactions.

A good news !
Today, we make further steps in our renewed EU-UK strategic partnership.
We have concluded the negotiations for the UK’s association to Erasmus+ in 2027.
Bringing back Erasmus+ for our young people, opening the door to new shared experiences and lasting friendships.
Organelles do NOT have a single uniform pH.
And if you think they must, because “protons diffuse fast,” this paper is for you.
A thread on why that assumption is wrong; and what we found instead. 🧵 1/n

Look
if you had one ring
with one Pd in it,
and pull everything onto one thread
in one moment.
would you break it
or just let it slip?
