In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

This #MRSBulletin theme article overviews the advances in #GeometricDesign & #ChemistryDrivenApproaches to propose a perspective on achieving #codesign of #MaterialChemistry & #architecture across multiple length #scales, for #NextGeneration #programmable #PolymericMaterials.
Many years ago, when Twitter was still a hub for science discussion, I used to joke that I would stop using Twitter when I reached 6666 followers. I didn't think it would happen but it seems like here we are
50% of these 6666 are probably bots though... + I don't use Twitter now
Our picture "Eye Spy" made it into the C&EN Chempics Bracket Challenge!
Lots of beautiful pictures on display! You can vote for any of them in the link in the thread.

Application dates closing soon!
We have some new openings in the group! (PhD student + Research intern)

#A novel 3D printing approach enables the creation of ultra-strong, dense #Metal and ceramic structures by growing materials inside hydrogels, offering new possibilities for advanced manufacturing. @epfl_en @advmater doi.org/g9549c techxplore.com/news/2025-10-…
Our review on Ice Lithography is now out in Adv. Funct. Mater.! Excellent work led by @anpan_han and his team at DTU. Glad to have played a small role in this :)

And our second paper is now out in Advanced Materials!

tldr: we use a repeated infusion-precipitation process to enable the fabrication of ceramics and metals with low shrinkages and high material densities (1/9)
A little 🧵
Bonus 1: We were able to (loosely) track the growth of particles within our hydrogels. It gave us some beautiful images. We called this one "Sauron"
