Coordination chemistry, pioneered by Alfred Werner, involves coordinate covalent bonds where one atom donates electrons to another, forming structures crucial for Nobel Prize-winning developments. #chemistry #NobelPrize

Light is created from accelerating particles. A charged particle moving at a constant velocity will not create waves. Boosting into a reference frame shows constant velocity motion does not radiate, which also applies to gravity. #physics #relativity

Metal-organic frameworks offer innovative solutions for capturing water vapor, catalyzing crude oil decomposition, and absorbing PFAS. These compounds can control emissions, address forever chemicals, and mine rare earth metals from wastewater. #chemistry #environment

Discoveries in materials science reveal that materials can change shape based on their contents, a property not found in naturally occurring minerals like zeolites. #materialscience #chemistry

Did you know that 8% of human DNA is viral? These retroviruses insert RNA into our cells, creating DNA that integrates into our chromosomes, leading to germline mutations. #DNA #Retrovirus

From Palestinian refugee to groundbreaking chemist, Omar Yaghi's story is one of resilience and scientific innovation. His work with metal-organic frameworks has revolutionized chemistry. #chemistry #innovation

Discover the origin story of From First Principles podcast, tracing back to Princeton, immigrant family backgrounds steeped in science, and the journey from academia and industry to creating a self-funded science love letter. #sciencepodcast #originstory

Regulatory T cells (T regs) police our immune system. Research shows T regs aren't just about controlling immunity; they also directly influence non-immune tissue function. Specifically, they're involved in muscle repair and regeneration. #immunology #muscleRepair

Richard Feynman's 1982 paper, 'Simulating Physics,' laid the groundwork for quantum computing by showing how classical computers struggle with quantum systems due to the exponential growth of required bits. #quantumcomputing #physics

In 2019, Google claimed quantum supremacy, solving a problem in 200 seconds that would take a classical computer a million years. IBM then said it would only take 2.5 days, leading to debate over quantum supremacy versus quantum advantage. #QuantumComputing #IBM

The 2025 Physics Nobel Prize was awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis for their experiment at Berkeley. The video also discusses the correct name for the university. #Physics #NobelPrize

Chemistry is similar to cooking. There are only a few techniques one needs to master and the order matters to make the chemistry happen. Like cooking, chemistry has standard tools like heat, cooling, and mixing, with some fancy techniques every so often. #chemistry #cooking

Ever wonder how a single gram of a metal-organic framework can have several football fields worth of surface area? It's all about molecular interactions and gas adsorption. Liquid nitrogen and the BET equation help scientists calculate this incredible property! #MOFs #chemistry

Explore the basics of superconducting qubits, Josephson junctions, and how they create a manageable two-state system for quantum computing. #quantumcomputing #qubits

Creating metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is a lot like cooking! The right mix of ingredients, precise heating, and slow cooling are key to growing these crystals with vast surface areas. It's all about perfecting the recipe in the lab. #chemistry #MOFs

The challenge with metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is scaling production. While MOFs have immense surface area, creating them in industrial quantities requires overcoming toxicity, cost, and uniformity issues. #chemistry #carboncapture

Quantum computing's potential extends far beyond breaking encryption. Simulating biological systems, discovering new materials, and revolutionizing drug discovery are just a few possibilities. It's a canvas of infinite opportunities. #QuantumComputing #MaterialScience

The U.S. has historically attracted top scientific minds, driving exceptional achievements and innovation. Continuing to welcome and support international talent is vital for maintaining America's competitive edge and global contributions. #science #innovation

China's DeepSeek R1 model rivaled ChatGPT-4 for a fraction of the cost by innovating on training, not hardware. It became the #1 downloaded app, then got banned in some countries. But its open-source nature let anyone tweak it. #AI #ChinaTech

American exceptionalism in science matters. The US has the greatest research infrastructure in the world, and poaching our scientists will impact future Nobel Prizes. We must curate exceptional international talent. #Science #Innovation
