We built nuclear weapons, went to the moon, and now Facebook spent a similar amount to manipulate people into buying things and compete with google on search. Feels like we’ve run out of big ambitions.

Back in November, Google announced 2.2 milllion new materials.

Today, a paper in Chemistry of Materials from Ram Seshadri and Tony Cheetham dismantles that claim

@StawskiWojtek Diffuse scattering or serial crystallography seems fun

[Robert Palgrave @Robert_Palgrave]

We have now completed our analysis of new materials reported in the Google Deepmind / Berkeley autonomous lab paper. My own initial analysis is in the quote tweet.

Happy to have worked with @SchoopLab to jointly put together a comprehensive analysis, now available on @ChemRxiv.

This thread is my personal view after having looked at the detail of each of the materials reported 🧵

@EMarino_nano @nanobrumberg Ohh, I am not saying it's ideal, but I think it is too easy to get sloppy

[DanielBalazs @DMBalazs]

@EMarino_nano @nanobrumberg I have seen older professors giving seminars, and starting at slide 275 of THE slide deck and finishing at 52 an hour (a few jumps) later...

The results of the Round Robin initiated by Brian "Lookingatnothing" Pauw is finally out, and has some very interesting conclusions https://t.co/tnteQL6rva

Time to make 2023 updates to my annual “opinions about solar” thread.

If you like these, the second edition of my book, Solar Power Finance Without The Jargon, comes out very soon (just sent final proofs to publisher!)

But if we wanted to be *really* honest, there is one person that was not recognized with the award and that is Chris Murray. The hot-injection paper is easily the most influential paper in our field and stemmed largely from Chris' hard work and imagination. Had to be said.

3D printing based on (almost) only NCs, the solid is so dense that ligand removal is possible!

@cenmag I cannot access any article for several days now, including the login page. Did you block non-US access for some reason?

NEW: THREAD: Ronan Farrow’s expose on Musk is out. It’s a MUST READ. Here are some stand-out moments.

Musk deliberately throttled Starlink - the communications system Ukraine was relying on in battle. He held it hostage for $400M at critical points in the war. 1/
