Roger Ebert famously said a movie should be evaluated for what it is & how fully it achieves its director’s vision. It’s unfair to criticize a film for not being the movie you wish the director had made. Emily Wilson can’t seem to forgive Nolan for not making her version of the film.

1. Can hydrogels breathe? In our new Nature paper, we show that only 2-4 wt% aerogels can enhance hydrogel air permeability by more than 10× through viscoelastic phase separation—while preserving water-rich, tissue-like properties. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Air-permeable hydrogels through viscoelastic phase separation of aerogels

Nature - Viscoelastic phase separation is used to fabricate non-collapsible, air-rich networks in high-water-content hydrogels containing silica aerogel beads, allowing air to permeate through the...

Researchers and Academics: Video is the future of accessible scientific communication. I made the video below about a paper I wrote during my PhD in the @AppelGroup by simply attaching the PDF and writing just 5 chat prompts (no manual editing). I used @SpellshotAI . Spellshot is an AI-native video editor that that can transform hundreds of raw assets into a structured, editable videos in minutes. Agents handle clipping, assembly, trimming, captions and schematic generation automatically. Then you can refine everything in a full track-based editor. This tool can transform your teaching and presentations.

Finally, someone has solved a real problem with AI! No more having to take a paper in the format for a journal that rejected you, and reformat it for a new journal. Well done!! formatmypaper.com/
