DZT 34 in Vienna. Oksana persented her poster, Alex gave his talk and we all had nice dicussions with the other participants. The German Zeolite Conference is always fun, every year again and is always a great success. Thanks to everyone.
Oksana’s pre-print is online and went out to review. Keep fingers crossed for a positive feedback! Precise control over gas transporting channels in zeolitic imidazolate framework glasses

An interview with Süddeutsche Zeitung about porous water “Wie man Wasser mit Löchern herstellt” (GER). A great experience, as communicating science is one of the most important things in a world full of desinformation.
A full success on the MOF 2022 conference! 5 Posters, 1 session to chair, and 1 invited talk was delivered by us. On the picture below you can see Oksana explaining her poster at the poster party
