October 9th, or 10/9, is National #NanotechnologyDay in the #UnitedStates. Celebrated by those who still believe in #science and also understand the metric system. People who hated #chemistry in high school or college think #nanotechnology is cool, even though nanotechnology is chemistry! 😂 “Chemical Eye 👁️ on Nanotech: From Hype to Hysteria, Why all the Hoopla?”
When I wrote “Chemical Eye 👁️ on Cage Compounds” as an @NPR :verified: #science and #society commentary 19 years ago, habeas corpus was in the news at the same time as novel molecular architecture including ‘cages’. It might be worth posting again, since the constitutional right of habeas corpus is unfortunately endangered once again, and the 2025 #NobelPrize in #Chemistry was awarded to three chemists who conceived of and created Metal-Organic Frameworks, or #MOF.
I was trying to get a photo of Mr. Bumble Bee lunching on Dahlia, when all of a sudden Ms. Butter Fly swooped in! #Bloomscrolling image
