A crystal was just discovered that acts like a metal and a glass at the same time.
Molybdenum oxychloride, announced June 1, 2026.
Metals conduct electricity freely. Electrons move through them like water through a pipe.
Glasses are insulators. Electrons are frozen in place.
These two states have been mutually exclusive for the entire history of materials science.
Until now.
MoOCl₂ has a split personality at the quantum level:
• Along one axis: metallic. Electrons flow freely.
• Along the perpendicular axis: insulating. Electrons don't move at all.
This is called extreme optical anisotropy.
Why it matters:
• Smart contact lenses that can display information without power-hungry screens
• Ultrathin AR glasses that process light differently in different directions
• Photonic circuits that route light the way copper routes electricity
We've had one fundamental state for each material for 200 years of engineering.
Now we have both in one crystal.
Materials science just got a new category.

Si parla tanto di nomadi digitali che lavorano in giro per il mondo dalla barca a vela.. perché non provarci? Se volete, le opportunità son tutte qui.

This account has been destroyed by the demonetization and by the public execution explained below, reserved for me only.
This account cannot reach its followers, therefore there's no way some of them decide to support it by subscribing.
In some months (from 4 to 6), if this situation persists, I'll leave this platform.
I'm still posting AS I ALWAYS DID, and this demonstrates I was demonetized upon improvised rules applied to my case ONLY while hundreds or thousands of dear "aggregators" still upload, use fake watermarks and are still monetized.
I'm still posting as AS I ALWAYS DID and I added new posts for subcribers only, many more vs the previous periods.
This account needs support, but given what above, it won't come, and as a consequence, my activity has a countdown, now.
Thanks to the ones who are still subscribing, this message is manly for them.
🚨 | Charles Leclerc: "Are you happy for Lewis? Yes, but it's very complicated.”
“I've had four extremely complicated Grands Prix, so I cannot lie.”
“Obviously, it's a team sport: I'm happy for Ferrari and for Lewis, but on my side, I am extremely disappointed. This is a fourth consecutive complicated Grand Prix.”
Charles Leclerc on Lewis's first Ferrari win:
"Huge congratulation to Lewis, he has been on it since quite a bit and has been incredible. And a huge congrats to the team aswell. They have been pushing massively with upgrades and it's showing now. It's good to see it. I am just very disappointed on my side…"

Vi siete persi la notte di Le Mans? Nessun problema…ecco il riassunto di quello che è successo 🌛💨
E ora pronti per un’altra giornata a tutto motore. Si corre fino a oggi pomeriggio sullo storico circuito francese 🇫🇷🏁
📲 Guarda la 24 ore di Le Mans in diretta su discovery+, HBO Max ed Eurosport 1
L’orario di partenza della 24 Ore di Le Mans e l’orario di inizio delle qualifiche della F.1 a Barcellona sono davvero figli di una sfortunata coincidenza.
