1/3 The most pervasive toxic behavior in science (and especially theory) is posing: pretending at deep or extensive understanding, or that difficult things are "obvious" or "trivial" for you, or that you have understand something for a long time that others are just learning.

Survivorship bias is a common logical error, involving drawing conclusions based on those who have ‘survived’ a process — and are thus more visible than those who did not go.nature.com/3EPxQk1

Very excited to share our recent work on 3D printing of structurally colored objects. Same color from all view angles ! doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

Top!

One of the longest projects I've worked on has been completed and can now be read in Adv Opt Mater: doi.org/10.1002/adom.2… 🙌 Huge thanks to Henning, Florian Bouville, @BodoWilts, Leonid Braginsky, David Bless, Valery Shklover, Alba Sicher and André R Studart!

Our article on stretchable, color-changing silicones received enough downloads to be a #topdownloadedarticle in Advanced Materials ! I highly appreciate the interest in our research ! Ahmad Rafsanjani Erik Poloni

We are excited to present HARLEM, an open material to study spacecraft thermal protection during atmospheric rentry: doi.org/10.1038/s41598…. Many thanks to the whole HEFDiG group (instagram.com/hefdig/) for the massive teamwork! Uni Stuttgart IRS, Uni Stuttgart

The work of Yuki and Pierre (the third of soft magnetic carpet trio) where we created soft pressure sensors is out. Magnetic hairs not only allow for sensitive pressure sensing but also detect the direction of the pressure, which is challenging. André R Studart, NCCR Bio-Inspired Materials
