#Adsorption and AIChE Area 2E (Adsorption and Ion Exchange) Friends: it's time to nominate our honoree for 2026: mailchi.mp/bd663ee2ff45/a… @ChEnected #chemicalengineers #AIChE

Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi have been awarded the 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry for the development of a new type of molecular architecture. In 1989, chemistry laureate Richard Robson tested utilising the inherent properties of atoms in a new way. He combined positively charged copper ions with a four-armed molecule; this had a chemical group that was attracted to copper ions at the end of each arm. When they were combined, they bonded to form a well-ordered, spacious crystal. It was like a diamond filled with innumerable cavities.

@IntAdsSoc members... it's the time of year to renew memberships: mailchi.mp/519f37ba1d4c/i… And if you haven't heard... some mutual friends might have received a prize today: nobelprize.org/prizes/chemist…

The Area 2E Honoree this year is @FHandanTezel; join us to celebrate her work on Monday Nov 3 at 1230 EDT aiche.confex.com/aiche/2025/mee…

Finally out: Flat-Histogram Monte Carlo Simulation of Water Adsorption in Metal–Organic Frameworks Most challenging simulations I've ever run, with the bonus of very interesting physical insight re: adsorption of water in superhydrophobic materials. doi.org/10.1021/acs.jp…

@darren_broom @taddeima @KnebelAlexander @3P_INSTRUMENTS One found a figure with N2 (77K), H2 (77K), and CO2 (298K) isotherms plotted vs P/P0 x-axis. Ultimately, authors admitted that P0=1atm for all three. Be a good citizen, don't do this. 2/2

@darren_broom @taddeima @KnebelAlexander @3P_INSTRUMENTS This (H2 @ 77K plotted vs P/P0) is infuriating... I used to email authors about these mistakes - mostly to shame them. But it's done so frequently that we just "fix" the isotherms assuming P0=1atm. 1/2

Direct air capture (DAC) is a major new technology for removing carbon from the air. NIST has developed a new testing system for DAC plants that aid in the fight against global warming. Learn more: nist.gov/news-events/ne…

AIChE abstracts are due tomorrow April 8! @theIranianAlien, @KaihangS, and I are organizing the CoMSEF/Area 1a faculty candidate session - applicants please remember to email us a one-page research statement and CV in addition to the abstract. Feel free to DM if any questions!

#Adsorption friends: the abstract deadline for the #AIChE Annual Meeting is April 8. Area 2E Announcement and Session List: mailchi.mp/8ba265c8c519/a… @IntAdsSoc

Engines from NASA Apollo missions to the moon fell into the ocean and remained there for decades. But once the engines were retrieved, two NIST researchers at the time studied pieces – and learned how to preserve them for history. Learn more: nist.gov/blogs/taking-m… 📸: @NASA
