🐛 Principle of length: autocatalysis-free oscillators must exceed a critical number of reaction steps to enable oscillations.
⚙️ Efficient evaluation methods: greatly expanding the scope of oscillators that can be assessed and their characterization.
📖 And much more! 3/3

Some highlights:
🧮 Mathematical recipes for constructing and evaluating oscillators
✍ New structural insights into what makes and breaks oscillations
🧪 Oscillators yet to be experimentally realized, employing no autocatalysis, or even no catalysis at all (!) 2/3

I always was amazed by this idea that Van der Waals forces can lift a whole gecko. I suppose contact electrification is also a good explanation of why gecko's don't stick well to PTFE.
