Don't hold your breath for this matter compiler. It's absolutely preposterous. Far beyond any engineering, chemistry and material science capability we have.

We are about 6 months away from my book, RESONANCE & RADIANCE, being released into the world. (April 13th, 2027!) RESONANCE & RADIANCE is a narrative nonfiction book about spectroscopy—the field of science that studies how light interacts with molecules. I want to share this book’s origin story 🧵:
