Stickiness matters! From powder handling to geophysical flows, cohesion in granular material plays a crucial role. We review in @softmatter experimental approaches to create and control inter-particle adhesion pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti… @ClarkSchool @UCSBengineering

The 2024 #NobelPrize laureates in chemistry Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have successfully utilised artificial intelligence to predict the structure of almost all known proteins. In 2020, Hassabis and Jumper presented an AI model called AlphaFold2. With its help, they have been able to predict the structure of virtually all the 200 million proteins that researchers have identified. Since their breakthrough, AlphaFold2 has been used by more than two million people from 190 countries. Among a myriad of scientific applications, researchers can now better understand antibiotic resistance and create images of enzymes that can decompose plastic.

#MilkHistory: Milk means #PlantMilk too. #SamuelJohnson's dictionary (18th century) had two entries for milk: (1) the liquor w/ which animals feed their young. (2) #Emulsion made by contusion of seeds, w/ Shakespeare's quotes for animal milk & Bacon's for nourishing #almondmilk.
