Prizes must recognize machine contributions to discovery

The future of science will be written by humans and machines together. Awards should reflect that reality.

All the patients in the waiting room who had a full day of 'prep' staring daggers as they watch other people drink coffee 😂

Ryotatsu Yanagimoto and coauthors introduce a programmable nonlinear photonic chip. By projecting light patterns onto a waveguide, they reconfigure how light interacts with light—opening the door to software-defined quantum, sensing, and communication optics. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Programmable on-chip nonlinear photonics - Nature

An optical slab waveguide with highly programmable nonlinear functionality is described, enabling the demonstration of versatile control over broadband second-harmonic generation across the spectral, spatial and spatio-spectral domains.

Also, NIST scientists are some of the best in the world. It is a great loss to all of us when they aren't doing the things that they are incredible at. Send out warm thoughts to all the folks at NIST and the rest of our federal employees during this shutdown.

Alright MOF-mavens and Nobel fans ... This might be one of my favorite things to ever come out of my collaborations with NIST. They put together a hilarious video on MOFs and their potential use in environmental sensors.

Listen. It's quite obvious I'm running some sort of racket here. There is just no way I should be associated with these incredible chemists!! 😂

First of all, I just really appreciated him, Katherine Mirica, @omarfarha.bsky.social and @matthartings.bsky.social so graciously sharing their time for project that was just getting off the ground. (2/I got a couple more in me)

Six of the nine Nobel Prize winners this year work in the U.S.
Three of the six were born outside the U.S., which is the pattern most years. No country has benefited more from welcoming immigrants from around the world.

Sorry, Shawn. But it's MOF and not MIF. Clearly an organic award </sarcasm>

Speaking of which ... zeolites have MOFs beat by a long-shot in terms of applications and probably should have won a Nobel years ago.

Imagine that all you needed for a building was brick and mortar, you mixed them together, and they assemble themselves into enormous buildings with rooms and hallways. It is really very whimsical when it comes right down to it, regardless of any application.

MOFs are great for a lot of reasons. But the basic chemistry drive of it all ... How do we build really cool and unique shapes and structures with these tiny building blocks? MOFs and zeolites are such great examples of molecular architecture (in the literal sense of that word).

A Chemistry Nobel for the invention of MOFs! Here’s a great article on what these materials are and why they’re now being used to eg harvest water and suck up carbon dioxide. Congrats to Kitagawa, Robson and Yaghi! #ChemNobel

Well my jr/sr lab students (who are all working on MOFs this semester) will all be very thrilled.
Although, they had a paper due last night. This news could have filled some space in what they needed to write.
