In this perspective paper I propose a set of simple rules that can facilitate data management and improve their reusability.

Why Nanoscience Needs Standardized Protocols─And How to Get There
Nanoscience is a relatively young research field that has been built on the shoulders of consolidated areas ranging from solid-state physics to biology. Its interdisciplinary nature imposes the flow of heterogeneous data from various domains of predefined conventions that ultimately prevents workflow standardization, raising the possibility of further fragmentation and compromising the reproducibility. This is the time to establish good practices for experimental nanoscientists. This work proposes a set of simple rules that can facilitate data management and improve their reusability. Implementing the proposed protocol can have high initial cognitive costs but can also save energy and time in the long term. By adopting these practices, researchers can ensure the reusability of their data early in a project and accelerate the writing process.

Systematic design methods can face further fragmentation of nanoplasmonics. We propose a pipeline combining Bayesian optimisation & simulations to accelerate the design of gold nanoparticles with superior plasmonic performance. A guide for experimentalists.

Conclave: Golden Globes 2025 for best screenplay. Well deserved. While watching the movie a question resonated: will the supreme techno-magnate intervene with the next conclave to assure the moral approval for his actions?

A team of researchers has tested if a hierarchical design of nanoparticle-based systems can eventually generate strong thermal convection forces that eventually result in hydrodynamic oscillations.

1. Read, 2. write, 3. edit, 3. know your story, 4. develop own style.
I can only add: never edit while writing. These two are totally different cognitive processes.
