@GroupHelms But honestly, most HT people realize that at a certain point, more data != more understanding. It gets tells you what's interesting and then you do old fashioned targeted science and theory to understand what's going on

[Emory Chan @EmoryChanNano]

@GroupHelms What is the issue? Sometimes the follow on data helps to respond to reviewers, sometimes those experiments are the next paper.

Congrats to Molecular Foundry users @tomoyahondabio and @YasuoYoshikuni for their new publication in @NatureComms!

[Tomoya Honda @tomoyahondabio]

Excited to share my latest work on synthetic biology and host–microbe interactions, now published in Nature Communications!

New review on Photon Avalanching Nanoparticles out in Accounts of Chemical Research! https://t.co/xkqBd6wtNz

Part of a special issue on #UCNPs (upconverting nanoparticles).

Honored to be invited to write this perspective on automated nanoparticle synthesis as part of a collection commemorating the 25th anniversary of @NanoLetters! https://t.co/HZ2KTLjcRT

See 🧵 for my lessons from the past 25 years, include 1 from Finding Nemo📷 (cited ofc)

[Emory Chan @EmoryChanNano]

@NanoLetters What will happen to automated and ML-guided nanocrystal science in the next 25 years? Precedent suggests that, like lasers and computers, AI and automation will find their role in unexpected and also mundane ways. But the greatest impacts will be found in focusing on the science!

[Emory Chan @EmoryChanNano]

Honored to have our work with @a_skripka on #photonAvalanchingNanoparticles with intrinsic optical bistability be selected as one of @BerkeleyLab's top stories of 2025. Read the original article here: https://t.co/xyHhKDisfZ

[Berkeley Lab @BerkeleyLab]

2025 was filled with remarkable breakthroughs at our Lab, from developing new materials and exploring the universe to making strides in #AI, #microelectronics, and #quantum science. Plus, we celebrated our 17th Nobel Prize! 🏅 Explore our top stories ➡️ https://t.co/4oDynT4QIq

For a more digestible summary of our recent @NatComputSci article, here's the research brief that @SamMBlau and I wrote... complete with a #BehindThePaper tidbit that thankfully has less drama than a VH1 Behind the Music episode (https://t.co/Pgb9luMKfi link is free)
