Thank you, Pablo! So grateful to work with you, and an amazing team and collaborators on such an interesting topic.

In-plane dielectric constant and conductivity of confined water - Nature Scanning dielectric microscopy of nanocapillaries filled with water reveals that interfacial and strongly confined water exhibits a large in-plane dielectric constant and an in-plane conduct...

🚨 Last work out in @nature.com: in a fantastic team effort we have been able to show that the electrical properties of #water confined into spaces only a few molecules thick stops behaving like ordinary water 1/5

Great to have you back for a few days, Pablo! Always a pleasure to do experiments together. Also our AFMs are happy to see you back...🧑‍🔧😊

Please share, we have #PhD opportunities for anyone interested in filming the #Biophysics of life at the nanoscale.

I'm sure this Science story on how systematic reviews are threatened by paper mills is good, but the illustration by Sara Gironi Carnevale is great

What a better way for a first post here 🦋 than announcing a recent work available online?🤗
We have investigated the effects of #2Dmaterials on #magnetic signals🧲. Kudos to Alonso Aldave, Miriam Jaafar and Willy López-Polín. Short🧵👇🏼

I had a hard time finding women physicists here. So I made a starter pack for #female and #under-represended #minorities in #physics, in short #FURMIP.
Please spread the word and
let me know if you would like to be added.

4/4

so far, my impression of a few days is that LinkedIn is rather confusing and more business/career related,
and that BlueSky is quite like the old twitter, with a mix of science, news, fun, beauty, etc.

BlueSky looks promising! Lets make it work.

I stayed around at X/twitter by lack of alternatives. Tried 'Threads' for a while but almost no one was/is there.

In the upcoming month, I'll post and interact at X but in parallel also at BlueSky and LinkedIn.

Per 1/1/25 I'll switch for good (likely to Bsky?) or stop altogether.

Ending X/twitter...?

Its been 2 years since Elon Musk took over twitter and basically killed it. As a result, many people left this social platform X, and the timeline got increasingly less interesting and more and more filled with ads.

Here is a starter pack for folks into tiny switches and machines. I am sure I missed many. Please let me know if you should be included and I will add you

The Great Paper Inflation! 🧪

👀 We've never published as much, yet we've never read as little (a paradox to reflect about 🤔)

There's lots of buzz about scientists on #bluesky! Don't forget to make room for the medical and science historians, too! Here's my #starterpack of some awesome people (and institutes). From medieval astrolabes to Victorian corsets, radium soap, and beyond! I got you covered.

“There is a cost for success in STEM academia. The few minoritized people who seem to thrive might be doing what psychologists call ‘high-effort coping’”

True words by Jean King, and gosh, do I not feel it.

Congrats Harry and crew! This is absolutely stunning work combining #AFM and #CryoEM for a look into the structural dynamics and membrane remodeling of the “Very Important Plant Protein”, which is essential for making and repairing thylakoids— the membranes of life! ☀️🌱
