Soft magnetic hysteresis in a dysprosium amide–alkene complex up to 100 kelvin - Nature
A dysprosium amide–alkene complex shows soft magnetic hysteresis loops up to 100 kelvin, arising from the high charge density of the amide ligands and the structural role of the pendant alkene.

So I’ve finished working at the Uni of Florence and will move home to Adelaide and look for jobs outside of academia - I don’t know what the future holds but this feels right for now. Thanks to the Perfetti Group and LAMM for the past year 😊 Stay tuned there’s still exciting science to come! 👀

For all the EPR-loving SMM-hunters who never have their two interests united! Enjoy the very sharp Dy spectra 😁 Huge team effort especially with Vijay Parmar to get this over the line once we’d both left Manchester, and cool to make 32 papers when I turned 32 last week!

My first paper to share on Bluesky! Really nice paper with Jack Baldwin with some lanthanide phosphide complexes and their pNMR spectra in solid state and in solution, including 31P of coordinated P!

The world doesn't immediately fall apart at the 1.5 °C limit, but experts say we are "reaching the end of what we thought was a safe zone for humanity". www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Earth breaches 1.5 °C climate limit for the first time: what does it mean?
The threshold has been exceeded for only one year so far, but humanity is nearing the end of what many thought was a ‘safe zone’ as climate change worsens.

🌍 Book recommendation - Voyagers by Lauren Fuge - a reckoning with the toll we have taken on our planet. Challenging myths of infinite growth and human supremacy, “we don’t own this world; we belong to it.” A call for bravery, resistance, and collective action to rewrite the story of our species.🌱
