📢 Are you passionate about science?🔬 We are looking for a #PhD candidate at Forschungszentrum Jülich to develop cutting-edge NMR hyperpolarization methods! The Helmholtz Association is an ideal place to learn and do world-leading research👩‍🔬👨‍🔬 #NMRchat #research @helmholtz_en

@fabferrage @euromar2024 I'm looking forward to it!

The real question is: who’s going to the Shuttle NMR at @euromar2024 meeting?

Thrilled to announce: this July I will start an independent Helmholtz research group at @fz_juelich to work on new methods and applications of #hyperpolarization for NMR and MRI🥳 Thank you everyone who has supported me🙏 PhD + Postdoc positions available, stay tuned! #NMRchat

The Journal of Open Hardware is back!!!! (and it's diamond open access) We're now accepting submissions, and we're always looking for referees. #OpenScience #OpenHardware #OpenAccess jopenhardware.org

If you solidify a target molecule with a PHIP-polarized source molecule, the polarization diffuses from source to target. Surprisingly,this even works when the source+target are ground together as dry powders. Thrilled PHIP-SSD is now published!🥳 #NMRchat doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

time sensitive: proposal for a NEW Gordon Research Conference on Mag Res and QIS, please co-sign petition by June 1 forms.gle/1XPjtTV81cNSWt… #nmrchat

@TSchubeis They may be exchangeable protons that are displaced by deuterium when you add the D2O

hey #NMR #NMRchat I measured a small molecule 1H in CH3CN (red) and after adding 10% D2O to the sample (blue), there are quite some changes that I do not understand, for example: why do the three marked (*) peaks disappear? they do not seem to belong to my molecule

@codigoDciclismo @JohanBruyneel @BenjiNaesen @faustocoppi60 All good points, valid for many stages (esp. with road furniture, gravel, tight corners), but I don't think it was a good strategy on a slow safe stage, to protect a leader guaranteed to lose the pink jersey regardless. Better to get riders in a break and force UAE to chase

@jameseills @JohanBruyneel @BenjiNaesen @faustocoppi60 ...being in the front line to respond to attacks, etc. Cycling isn't a speed sport; it's a sport of speeds. And leading doesn't necessarily mean "expending energy." You can be setting a pace of "letting the kilometers pass." (2 of 2)

"Ok Pippo, now you can drop back to the peloton. We gave X commentators enough material to talk about Ineos tactics for today." #Girod

@JohanBruyneel @BenjiNaesen @faustocoppi60 But nobody's explaining why their analysis of Ineos tactics Giro stage 2 was wrong. You're complaining about @BenjiNaesen expressing an opinion when he's not ex-pro, but you're not challenging the opinion itself. His analysis seems to be spot on 👌

Of course you’re allowed to have opinions. Everyone has opinions and that’s great. When you have an opinion and you pretend to be an expert and act as if you know it all and don’t accept that your opinion is not the correct one sometimes, that’s when it starts to be an issue. And for the record: if you’ve never raced a bike, you will never be able to feel what it feels like in the middle of a big war inside a 180 rider peloton where everyone is fighting for a little spot on the road. Consequently, your comments on a lot of situations will not be accurate or realistic.

@VKoerian @BenjiNaesen @faustocoppi60 This 👆

@BenjiNaesen @faustocoppi60 Yeah still, I can't stand the selfrighteousness of people who almost ran this sport into the ground in the '90ies and '00ies.

@Doc_GMS It was very fun despite the on-off rain, but I did not enjoy the cobbles. I will be avoiding those in the future!

@jameseills Great effort! Was it as fun as it looks?

Easter weekend with a couple of friends doing the amateur Ronde van Vlaanderen - 160km filled with mud, cobbles and climbs. Started the day with a new pair of white socks..😃

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret There is a great picture of Scholz, von der Leyen, Michel, Macron, and Meloni sitting around Viktor Orban, in a meeting in which he was persuaded to drop Hungary's veto of a €50b aid package to Ukraine. What do you think was said to persuade Orban to change his position?

🚨QUESTIONS REQUEST🚨 We're recording on Monday afternoon this week. What would you like to ask @RoryStewartUK + @campbellclaret ? Domestic or international, timely or timeless - reply with your questions below👇

@TovarishBarskiy @ma_sabba A good reference for this is "Polarization transfer experiments in high-resolution NMR spectroscopy". doi.org/10.1016/0079-6…

@ma_sabba Hmm I had a very naive understanding that INEPT can produce max a ratio of gammas. What is n in this picture? Are these discussion (about maximal enhancement in INEPT) published anywhere?

UPDATE: acquired tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)silane (AX36). Successfully implemented a sequence designed to reach the symmetry-constrained bounds on polarization transfer of (20419054425/4294967296)*(γI/γS) ≈ 24. I have won. But at what cost?

By observing adiabatic transitions 'live', state transformations can be seen in real-time. It's like taking a video of the experiment instead of photos😃 We track the magnetization of hyperpolarized molecules subjected to simple pulse sequences. #NMRchat arxiv.org/abs/2402.10766

@nmrqip This is a brilliant review article! Thanks for writing and sharing

Everything you ever wanted to know about NMR quantum computing but were afraid to ask: now in press at Progress in NMR Spectroscopy arxiv.org/abs/2402.01308

@ma_sabba I'll chip in a fiver

might do my NMR bros a solid and submit a bid. just need half a billion dollars

@HadeerElhabashy Red flags are: email is written in an odd font, they start "Dear Professor", absurd salutations like "Thank you esteemed scientific colleague", and vague topics absolutely unrelated to my expertise like "Fertilizer Chemistry". I love them, each one is a joy to read

Getting tons of fake journal invites in my email inbox makes it hard to tell the real ones apart. They all just end up in the bin. Any tips for spotting the real deals?

New paper online📢 We show that at high molar polarization, a sample's internal magnetic field (~μT) disrupts polarization transfer sequences. This limits polarization (image) but can be fixed by dipolar decoupling. Congrats to Laurynas and all! #NMRchat arxiv.org/abs/2401.07243

@Popher I just learned that Breaking the Girl turns 33 this year and it's ruined my weekend
