The 2024 Ig Nobel Prize in Chemistry was a Polymer Physics article on active polymers 😲 @improbresearch
Worms, mazes, and booze—what could go wrong? The 2024 Ig Nobel Prize in Chemistry went to researchers @UvA_Amsterdam who used chromatography to see how fast drunk and sober worms made it home through the maze. bit.ly/4d49hzx

Pleasant morning read in @MacroJrnls_ACS ACS Macro Lett on "Statistical Copolymerization-Induced Self-Assembly" - another cool use of Compositional Drift program by @TingXu_Berkeley to show how charged "solid" self-assemblies outperform block polymers 😍 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
