😐 @chemistryworld.com in these days is seriously trying to having me run out of office space 👾

#MEDPore2025 #tiling nr. 15 (Bahia palace, Marrakech): I guess this counts as solid solution... or stacking disorder #Crystallography #BraggYourPattern

I love every part of this story (and title) 😌 I wish I could share a beer and some sheets of paper with him at some point...

Wow this is exciting and sth I'm looking into with porous materials as well 🤩 If crystals scatter enough, lab instruments provide good data for X-ray #3DTotalScattering, especially with a nice HPC detector and when compensating the bad coherence of a microfocus beam. Congrats to the team @au.dk!👏

#MEDPore2025 #tiling nr. 14 (Bahia palace, Marrakech): back to multicolour 🟡🟢⚪🔵⚫ #crystallography #BraggYourPattern

'Atomic lattice'... not a lattice. 1D structure? I guess they mean '1D-extended connectivity'. Any other common misuse of terminology in #MaterialsScience? Asking for a friend writing an article on crystal structure analysis 😶‍🌫️ #crystallography #IUCr #IUPAC

What's better than discussing porous materials in a stunning location? ☀️🌍🧪 Not much! We had an incredible week of inspiring talks and great company at #MedPore2025 in Marrakesh. 🇲🇦 Looking forward to the next edition! #chemsky #MOFs #COFs

Where did we leave off... #MEDPore2025 #tiling nr. 13 (Bahia palace, Marrakech): simple structure, but with such an elegant terracotta-emerald colour match 😌 #crystallography #BraggYourPattern

This is a daily battle for a silent majority of us, and the awarded grants and professorships we see around keep fuelling the guilt of the envy-happiness dissonance we feel when our friends succeed... with often no idea of how much privilege or hard work has been behind. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

Very exciting to see our "Retrospective Review on Reticular Materials" online, packing lots of interesting stats to understand how far the field has come, and to envision its even brighter future! #MOFs #COFs privileged to have worked with such a fantastic team 🌟

Taking a day off from posting more #tiling treasures found while attending #MEDPore2025; meanwhile enjoy this shot containing up to 5 different contiguous mosaic structures! 🤩 #crystallography #BraggYourPattern

Love that this moment was recorded.

For those following this little #tiling tourism adventure: I have a few more to go... 😊 Thanks for engaging and interacting, some even posting some relevant pictures from past trips! That's really great 🌟

#MEDPore2025 #tiling nr. 10 (Bahia palace, Marrakech): can I call this 'mesotiling'? I believe so... Another elegant P4m #crystallography #BraggYourPattern

Just out online in @natrevchem.nature.com - my article on the #elementsets project. Read all about the journey from crazy and naive late night thought bubble to 1.5 million better student lessons on the periodic table here: rdcu.be/el2F4. #ozchem #outreach

I am sure it's just one of many pattern "mines" of the world, Granada being another wonderful one... Does anyone know more? Quote the original post below with your answer: Let's make a pattern-hunting wishlist 😌

Stefano (@stecanossa.bsky.social‬) is currently at a conference in Marrakesh, finding so many amazing patterns in the built environment there, we are very envious. Is Marrakesh the most famous place to find patterns all around you?? #BraggYourPattern

My walk to work this week at #MEDPore2025 in Marrakech. Amongst other things, it's been great to meet & chat more to @stecanossa.bsky.social, who also has a similar walk to work.
