⚗️During their discussion at the 𝘝𝘰𝘭𝘬𝘴𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳, Adjunct PI Miriam Unterlass said “Classical synthesis of organic materials is often toxic.” The @unterlasslab.bsky.social pioneers hydrothermal synthesis, using hot water instead of toxic solvents for more sustainable organic chemistry. 👉 bit.ly/4uhOl1s

A biologist at the American Museum of Natural History, Jonathan Coddington, cataloged a new genus of South American spiders in 1986. Two things about the spider were unique: they lived in caves & laid cubic eggs. So he called them genus 'Plato', and that's the nerdiest thing I have read all year.

Take a minute to really absorb the scale of what you're seeing. This is 'Cueva de los Cristales', the Cave of the Crystals, near the city of Naica in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. The crystals are selenite, a type of gypsum. They formed over the last 1 million years. (📷: Javier Trueba, MSF)

A man stands in a cave filled with white crystals, many of them much taller and larger than he is. The scale is hard to even understand.
