CNRS LYON and Separative collaborated for a taster day in the within the framework of the PANACEA project, Showcasing solid-state NMR on Silica material.
The PANACEA Summer School, held from June 16th to 21st, 2024 on San Servolo Island, immersed 68 participants in Solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The program featured lectures on Quantum Mechanics, NMR Hamiltonians, DFT calculations, and practical sessions covering pulse programming and MAS NMR. The event fostered interactive discussions, round tables, and culminated in a gala dinner, celebrating advancements in NMR spectroscopy.
From May 27 to 31, 2024, the Spring Meeting of the European Materials Research Society (E-MRS), organized in collaboration with the Foundation Jean-Marie Lehn, took place at the Convention & Exhibition Centre in Strasbourg, France.
Two distinguished members of the PANACEA team, @Pierre Florian and @Mariana Sardo, attended the spring meeting.
PANACEA team from Aveiro visited the Department of Physical and Macromolecular Chemistry, Charles University in Prague in the scope of an ongoing collaboration with Prof. Mariya Shamzhy.
PANACEA was featured in a RICH EUROPE webinar on November 28th, presenting its transnational access opportunities for chemistry users across seven European sites. The event facilitated collaboration with other Horizon projects, promoting synergy and exploring additional transnational access opportunities within the research community.
In the heart of Florence, PANACEA's 2nd Annual User Meeting unfolded over two days, spotlighting Solid-state NMR research. Day 1 and day 2 delved into applications across domains. The event, held on November 15th and 16th, united a diverse community of researchers, fostering collaboration and innovation in research. Thanks to all contributors for making the PANACEA Annual User Meeting a success.
CNRS Lyon and Elkem collaborated on a taster day for the PANACEA project, showcasing solid-state NMR analysis on Elkem Silicone. Successful results suggest a potential for ongoing collaboration in the future.
On October 13th, the CNRS team in Lyon hosted physics and chemistry students as part of the "Fête de la Science," an event celebrating science. The visit included introductions to the CNMR laboratory, spectrometers, and hands-on workshops exploring NMR-related chemical reactions. The event aimed to bridge the gap between science and society, inspire students, and promote solid-state NMR education.
The uniqueness of this triple-channel low temperature solid-state DNP probe lies in separate radiofrequency channels for 1H and 19F Larmor frequency, thus enabling independent pulsing on both proton and fluorine nuclei.
The workshop "Solid-state NMR methods for studying quadrupolar nuclei” has been held at the Radboud University in Nijmegen from June 12th to June 16nd 2023.
Mesoporous silicas functionalised with primary and tertiary amines were prepared and dosed with 13CO2 under dry and wet conditions and the structure of CO2 species formed was monitored by ssNMR.
The workshop was held from the 31th of August to the 2nd of September at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (Switzerland) gathering 15 PhD students, post-docs and industrial scientists.
The University of Gothenburg is looking for a Postdoctor, highly motivated candidates to take up a postdoctoral position developing new methods in DNP-NMR.
It is of interest to gain an atomic-level insight into the nature, strength and location of zeolite acid sites to fathom their reactivity and catalytic behaviour.
The PANACEA Kick-off meeting took place in Lyon on October the 21th and 22th. The meeting was run in hybrid mode due to the travel restrictions connected to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dynamics can render an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) difficult to crystallise, making the development of a commercially relevant process challenging, while also complicating the process of structural characterisation.
In heterogeneous catalysis, it is crucial to be able to control the structure and morphology of nanoparticles as these features are directly tied with the catalytic activity.
