Wie schon oft gesagt und geschrieben: Katherina Reiche tut immerzu so, als arbeite sie für niedrigere Strompreise. Sie spricht aber praktisch nur mit Unternehmen, die an hohen Strompreisen viel Geld verdienen. Und reguliert in deren Sinne. Verstehen Union, BDI und DIHK das?
In this #review, we discuss recent developments in the application of the #entaticstate principle in #bioinorganicchemistry and explore how the concept has been extended to bio-inspired chemistry.

Open data is the catalyst for collaboration! 🧪🔗
Science is a team sport. When we share our data FAIR, we enable #collaborations that extend beyond the confines of the laboratory. Be a catalyst for new breakthroughs – share your data! 🚀
#NFDI4Chem#OpenScience#Chemistry#FAIRdata
Every FAIR dataset contributes to a global library of chemistry. 📚🧪
Together, we’re building a knowledge database that never sleeps. Every dataset you share in accordance with FAIR principles makes chemistry more discoverable and usable for everyone – and for AI.
Help shape the future! 🚀
How are FAIR principles implemented in practice?
Our updated overview shows how FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) is implemented in RADAR — through concrete features and characteristics.

At our mini-symposium, 'Modernising Chemistry Education: RDM and Data Science in the Curriculum' at #ECC10 in Antwerp, we discussed with @psdi-uk.bsky.social and #ECTN how to teach data-driven research to students more effectively. Thank you all for a wonderful session!
#OpenScience#RDM#Education
And @nfdi4chem.de is also present @eurobic18.bsky.social with a booth! Come along to get information on #fairdata in chemistry! The tools are free to use, not only for german institutions, such as @radar-service.bsky.social !
FAIR in practice:
A dataset published via #RADAR4Chem is among the @nfdi4chem.de FAIR4Chem Award 2026 winners — and achieved a FUJI score of 92%, indicating a high level of FAIRness.
