Hi #NMRchat, anyone experiencing Bruker System Maintenance when trying to log in on the website? My colleague and I have been experiencing this for some days already. @brukercorporation.bsky.social, is there any update? :)

Hi #NMRchat, it's been a while! I'm trying to use baseopt on an Avance III/TS 3.8, but get an error that the 'getGroupDelay' parameter is invalid. Any tips?

Hi Bluesky (and possibly @w-u-r.bsky.social), we spotted a weird jumping tiny pebble(?). Is it some kind of cocoon?

125 MHz NMR spectrum of quinine acquired from only 5.5 µL (552 nmol) of sample - about 200x less analyte than typically required. Even at this scale, it shows state-of-the-art resolution and dispersion for benchtop NMR. Q Magnetics at ACS Spring 2026, Booth #1325. #ASCSpring2026 #NMRchat #Chemsky

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo
Photograph from 1911 taken by Herbert Ponting whilst with Scott's Antarctic Expedition

The monochrome photo is taken from within a cave. The walls of the cave are made of ice. The cave entrance is in the mid distance with two figures standing looking out towards a distant ship. Between them and the ship there is first a 'beach' of ice before the sea itself. The ship could be up to 800 metres away

What makes the photo so special is that where the figures are at the cave entrance there is a band of very white snow and ice (contrasting with the comparatively dark inside of the cave) that creates a stark framework in which the men and the ship are captured. It is made even more dramatic by the fact that the cave entrance is at least 30 metres high and is in the shape of a distorted elipse with the tail sloping off to the right at the top of the elipse

The photo being in monochrome in a largely white environment makes the photographers skill all the more laudable

A waxwing landed in our street, which is a pretty rare bird in the Netherlands. So while an avid group of twitchers was birdwatching, we were watching homo sapiens subsp. telephotolus in their natural habitat this weekend.

SIR MIX-O-LOTL
facebook post from brookfield zoo chicago with a picture of an axolotl and the caption:

“And the votes are in...

Please give a warm welcome to our newly named axolotl: Sir Mix-O-Lotl. Thank you to everyone who cast their vote in our naming contest. Stop by The Living Coast to say hi to Sir Mix-O-Lot on your next visit!
Brookfield Zoo Chicago recently took in 20 rescued axolotls that were illegally imported at O'Hare International Airport and seized by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officers. These salamanders were imported from Indonesia and needed professional care to survive. Axolotls are listed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List).
You can symbolically adopt Sir Mix-O-Lot to support the care, education, and conservation of this critically endangered species at https://bit.ly/4mFQXlh.”
