I can attest that @EricRWeinstein is a brilliant mathematical physicist. I recently did a deep dive into his Geometric Unity theory and I think it has the potential to unify all forces of nature in a beautiful & novel way; explain dark matter; and give a new explanation of dark

Most of you will not remember the epic failure that was @EricRWeinstein's seminar at Chicago in 2021 when Greg Kaplan invited Eric to expose him as a complete fraud. The seminar plainly showed that Eric has no idea about physics and is equally clueless about economics.

☄️ #3I/ATLAS comet update! On 3 October, our ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) turned its eyes towards interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS as it passed close to Mars. Together with Mars Express, ExoMars TGO had the closest view of the comet of all of our spacecraft. It looked towards the

Happy to see that two of our recent total syntheses are among the top three Most Read Articles @J_A_C_S; Among the top five, three are from Emory @EmoryChem @emorycollege @EmoryUniversity and four are total synthesis papers @TotalSynthesis! Cheers! https://t.co/o6cQqetTaZ

Cooling of this sample induces a phase transition that causes the crystal to disintegrate or maybe even leap off the mount. It happens around 150 K, while the crystal remains stable above that. I mounted multiple crystals and observed the same behavior each time!

A little late, but excited to share our recent article out in JACS! We show an expedient synthesis of bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes using two sequential diazo reactions. This work would not hav been possible without Duc Ly. Enjoy! https://t.co/EosamaaqLM

The Trump Administration has cancelled the research grant of America's foremost mathematician, in case you had any lingering doubt as to whether or not they were committed to actually advancing science.

The National Weather Service agency that should have been responsible for giving warnings ahead of the floods in Texas that have killed at least 50 people (including 15 children) had gone through massive job cuts in the months prior to the disaster.

Experimental charge density maps of metal–ligand complexes can appear to contradict MO theory: at first glance orbitals seem to avoid donor atoms. Like a lock and key, the electron-deficient regions align with lone pairs to form attractive electrostatic interactions.

I find it interesting prime numbers are an emergent property of nature: you don't expect them to appear by adding one to itself! Also, molecules have integer spin, a useful test whether a chemist’s proposed structure is correct: whether it has an even or odd number of electrons.

Few people know about this brutal deforestation technique called “correntão”, where tractors with huge chains raze the land cutting trees, destroying long standing ecosystems on a whim. If we don’t give value to nature, we’ll turn Earth into a desert 😕 https://t.co/lGYmESoWSb

The Sahara desert gets a massive amount of solar energy daily! It could be used to extract water from the atmosphere and water the desert! Terraforming the Sahara and building homes is easier than on Mars! @elonmusk should invest in this, it would make our planet more habitable
