I am excited for the new role!!

The Vigyan Pratibha Regional Centre, IISER Bhopal, organized a two-day Cluster Camp on 17–18 September 2026 at PM SHRI Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 1, Bhopal, bringing together students and teachers from four participating schools: 📍 PM SHRI KV No. 3, Baghmughaliya 📍 PM SHRI KV Bangrasiya 📍 PM SHRI KV Bairagarh 📍 PM SHRI KV No. 1, Bhopal Over the two days, students engaged with Vigyan Pratibha Mathematics and Science Learning Units, participating in hands-on activities, observations, discussions, investigations, and collaborative problem-solving. The sessions provided students with opportunities to ask questions, make predictions, test their ideas, analyse their observations, and develop conceptual understanding through their own experiences. The camp also encouraged students to learn collaboratively and approach Science and Mathematics with curiosity and confidence. @EduMinOfIndia @HBCSE_TIFR @KVS_HQ #IISERBhopal #VigyanPratibha #ClusterCamp #ScienceEducation #MathematicsEducation #HandsOnLearning #ExperientialLearning #STEMEducation #ScienceAndMathematics #KendriyaVidyalaya

We’re happy to share our new work on “Triplet Energy Transfer-Mediated Intermolecular Paternò–Büchi Reaction for the Synthesis of CF3- Oxetanes” @JOC_OL (#OrgLett). Congrats to @YiningZhu1997, @AJF_Chem, E. Zhilin. @DCBPunibern, #OpenAccess, #chemistry 👉doi.org/10.1021/acs.orglett.…

Is it just me, or was the old @ChemicalScience journal interface much better? The new Latest Articles page feels less intuitive. Curious to hear what others think😲.

Hot off the press in @angew_chem SAM enzymes are nature’s radical toolkit for methylation, and this work translates that radical logic into copper chemistry. Congrats @emily12345doss & team on this beautiful chemistry. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…; @osuresearch @OSU_CBC

Our postdoc Rahul Giri (@grahul360) has been awarded the SNSF Postdoc.Mobility 2025, supporting his 2-year research at The Ohio State University. He joined us after his PhD with Prof. D. Katayev (@KatayevL) University of Bern. Excited for the chemistry ahead! @snsf_ch @OSU_CBC

Zhang lab kicked off the summer with our first volleyball game, clearly just a “warm-up” round. The first-years somehow snagged the win… beginner’s luck is strong this season 😄 Ready for the rematch!

Our perspective charts the potential of water as a programmable reaction medium using compatible catalysts, EDA complexes, engineered micelles and microdroplets. Congrats @yaming_tian Aqueous-phase organic photochemistry: Distinct modes and interfaces doi.org/10.1016/j.chempr.202…

⚡️Electrifying Pyridine Functionalization: Curious how electrochemistry enables selective C–H and C–X functionalization of pyridines? Read our review @ChemicalScience. Thank you @iiscbangalore @ANRFIndia 🔗doi.org/10.1039/D6SC00233A

Check out our @J_A_C_S ! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac… Mechanistic Continuum from Stepwise to Concerted PCET at a Synthetic Tricopper Cluster. Congrats to @Saikat_0602 @Myersprestonj @emily12345doss and Dr. Weiyao. We thank @NSF @OSU_CBC @osuresearch for the constant support.

Excellent work! Congrats to everyone!

🚀Ring-expansion of ketones with [1.1.1]propellane to access functionalized MCB-ketones and spirocyclic scaffolds is out @J_A_C_S. A great collaboration with @MykhailiukChem. Thank you, @ANRFIndia and @iiscbangalore, for the financial support. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

“This is my first time in India, it’s been mind-blowing. There’s a real sort of bubbling confidence and aspiration. It feels like this is India’s moment — and India knows it.” - Nobel Prize laureate David MacMillan at the Nobel Prize Dialogue India that took place earlier this week. Missed the event? Not to worry, you can watch the full dialogue here featuring Macmillan and fellow laureate James Robinson: youtube.com/live/Lb7NTvsXGnU…

Our recent work on Ligand to Metal Charge Transfer (LMCT) catalysis with Bi(III)-salts @ChemCommun. We have developed a cross-dehydrogenative acylation of heteroarenes with aldehydes. Congratulations to @ignitedmind02, @Akshay_chem1 and Rakesh. pubs.rsc.org/.../articleland…

Glad to be featured in @CHIMIA_journal for receiving the Helvetica Prize 2025 from @SwissChemistry. Grateful to @KatayevL and @DCBPunibern for their constant support and encouragement. Check out our @HelvChimActa paper here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics goes to John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis — “for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit.” Here's what I understand of their work (experts feel free to chime in) 🧵
