Excited to share our new paper in @pnas.org doi.org/10.1073/pnas...! Ice cubes often appear cloudy because, as water freezes, air bubbles get trapped and scatter light. But how does freezing rate affect the shape of the bubbles?

@standupforscience.bsky.social 🧪 Is there a #standupforscience2025 in Los Angeles? There was such an event mentioned on the website a few days ago (along with San Francisco) but it seems to have vanished. I was wondering if these CA events didn't get a permit. Thanks for your important work!

In the next edition of #CondensedMatterPioneers we would like to highlight the career of Pierre-Gilles de Gennes (1932-2007), a French physicist renowned for his extensive contributions to condensed matter physics, particularly in the study of soft matter.🧵

The way the media is so chill about a concentration camp starting today, and those being prepared in El Salvador, as if it's a pop concert is so chilling. 4 years from now they'll say they simply didn't know! 😡 Let's be clear! This is a concentration camp! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

Great lineup in this "Physical Review Letters collection of the year 2024" which represents a "distillation of some of the most important and interesting papers in physics and related areas." A great way to see some work in your area of research, but also more broadly. promo.aps.org/PRL2024

Canada didn’t want this fight. Canada didn’t start this fight. This fight makes absolute zero rational sense, between any two trading partners, let alone close friends and allies. Canada did everything we could to avoid this fight. But Canada doesn’t back down from a fight. #NotSorry #Tariffs

We are in the fight of our lives. But Canadians have been called to be heroic before and we have never been defeated. This is our time to defend our country. Le Canada est uni. Ce sera une période difficile, mais c’est l’occasion de bâtir notre nation et de célébrer notre solidarité. Vive le Canada

For the 4th year in a row, my all-sky camera has been taking an image of the sky above the Netherlands every 15 seconds. Combining these images reveal the length of the night changing throughout the year, the passage of clouds and the motion of the Moon and the Sun through the sky. #astrophotography

A simple #physics question to test your intuition: take two identical ideal springs (same material, same rest length), and cut a small length “a” off one and use it to lengthen the other spring. If we attach the ends of the springs and let them relax, what will be the final length? (no bending)

“Believe it or not, electric bikes offer more exercise than pedal bikes on average. That fact might sound strange, but the science is clear.” Why e-bikes actually give more exercise than “acoustic”bikes. (but both/either are excellent when it comes to better cities) electrek.co/2024/02/20/w...
