Wait so even post-Brexit, the EU does business in English? Yes it’s pathetic I don’t know the answer to that question😭 Were French and German words banned too?

Well, well... who wants to be cited at the beginning of one of my papers next year? #NobelPrize

The first three references in my tutorial review, respectively citing the foundational works by Robson, Kitagawa, and Yaghi in the field of MOFs.

Another person who would surely have been in contention is Gérard Férey, who sadly passed away in 2017. His MIL-53 and MIL-101 structures continue to wonder and show new applications.

Column | Food critic Tom Sietsema is stepping down — and dropping his anonymity

After a quarter-century of reviewing restaurants, donning disguises and turning down photos, The Post’s food critic is ready for his next course.

I know the Post has been a sinking ship for a while now but the news that Tom Sietsema's leaving feels very sad

Quantum mechanics of a macroscopic variable, published by today’s laureates in @science.org in 1988. In addition to the science, it’s remarkably lucid writing

www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🧪

ARE MACROSCOPIC DEGREES OF FREEDOM GOVERNED BY quantum mechanics? Our everyday experience tells us that a classical description appears to be entirely adequate. The trajectory of the center of mass of a billiard ball is predicted wonderfully well by classical mechanics. Even the Brownian motion
of a tiny speck of dust in a drop of water is a purely classical phenomenon. Until recently, quantum mechanics manifested itself at the macroscopic level only through such collective phenomena as
superconductivity, flux quantization, or the Josephson effect. However, these "macroscopic" effects actually arise from the coherent superposition of a large number of microscopic variables each
governed by quantum mechanics. Thus, for example, the current through a Josephson tunnel junction and the phase difference across it are normally treated as classical variables.

The phosphine molecule, PH3, has been proposed as a biosignature in rocky planets. In @science.org, Burgasser et al. report phosphine in a brown dwarf atmosphere. "We therefore caution against the use of phosphine as a biosignature". #stellarastro #exoplanet ☄️
