In an era of hallucinating LLMs that are frankly ‘mostly’ useless for research, I must highlight the amazing value provided by Hasanyone.com. @andrew.diffuse.one this is a huge hit! Most useful AI tool for lit research I have found so far.

I read a book today—one I bought over 5 years ago.

Books don’t have deadlines—they wait for you, patiently, until the moment is right.

Revenge isn’t the answer to a betrayal.

Materials touch every aspect of our lives and our society, from the phones (and microchips) in our pockets, to the buildings we live in and the medical care we receive.

The Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) just announced its new set of challenge problems:
