The group will be attending the CCP-NC Machine Learning for NMR Crystallography Workshop in Manchester (May 2025). See you there! 

Joe passed his PhD viva (April 2025) !!! Congrats Joe! 

Daniel visited Brijith Thomas and Asif Equbal at NYUAD (April 2025) to share ideas and he gave a seminar on "What we can see with NMR that chemists traditionally do not (want to see): Applications to nanomaterials and MOFs".

The book on Modern NMR Crystallography: Concepts and Applications (2025), edited by David L. Bryce and published by the RSC, which includes a chapter on Dynamic Nuclear Polarization for Solid-state NMR Spectroscopy by Daniel and Fred Mentink-Vigier is now online here and is available for purchase from all good bookshops...
