Time flies while you're having fun! And while many encounters of the past few months will remaim wonderful offline memories, I would like to ✨️highlight✨️ some wonderful researchers:
Im aktuellen @sciam berichtet @elisecutts über die Forschung von @CmTonauer zu exotischen Eisformen. Sie erzeugt im Labor Eis wie es im Weltall oder auf Monden von Saturn und Jupiter vorkommt. #AlienIce#wasser#chemie

Interesting plain language introduction to a recent paper on ice XII-XIV by the Innsbruck team, Tonauer, Hauschild, & co-workers. Surprised to know about textures of ices – I need more experiences to feel textural differences of ordered ice by hand!❄️
The scientists identified Saturn’s moon #Enceladus as the most compelling target. Plumes spew through its icy crust, rich in organic compounds, some of which are key for life. And its underground ocean seems to hold a powerful source of chemical energy that could fuel living organisms 🦠
ALT Five different views of Enceladus over two rows (three in the top row, two in the bottom row). The views show a scarred surface. They are mostly light blue but some of them have red patches. The lower right view glows brightly red.
My PhD journey @uniinnsbruck has come to an end - thanks to everybody who has supported me on my way (also props to my dear fellow group members for this awesome Dr.'s hat 👩🔬👩🎓😍

Pure #cubic#ice without hexagonal stacking faults first proposed in 1943, but experimentally realized in 2020. Present calorimetry study clarifies difference in enthalpy between cubic & hexagonal ice to be -37.7 J mol-1 at 226 K. @CmTonauer@uniinnsbruckgo.acs.org/5Dv
#HappyBirthday Rosalind Franklin! The British chemist's work was central to the understanding of molecular structures. To this day, many are still fascinated by her contribution to the double-helix structure in DNA. Learn more here: ow.ly/mMoI50PgkBF#PhysicsWorld
Scientists of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) team observed a towering plume of water vapour more than 6,000 miles long spewing from the surface of Saturn’s moon, Enceladus.

Enthalpy Change from Pure Cubic Ice Ic to Hexagonal Ice Ih
C. M. Tonauer, K. Yamashita, et al. JPC Lett.
I enjoyed reading the very detailed discussions between the authors and reviewers disclosed in the Transparent Peer-Review Report. Nice work.
