An image is worth a thousand words!... Well, not in science, but still they are pretty important!

"Drawings on the Retina": the Cajal documentary arrives in cinemas across Spain on 9 April santiagoramonycajal.org/en/2026/04/06/…

We've been in the cover of Advanced Materials recently: #Chirality and #skyrmions scixel.es @AdvPortfolio

Ever wondered what STM is really imaging in TMD materials? Our new paper in @NaturePhysics shows that the answer is tied to band topology, and in particular to the existence of obstructed atomic bands: nature.com/articles/s4156… @ERC_Research @DIPCehu & @CFMdonostia

@rafeequemavoor You're too kind! ☺️

@Scixel awesome. love your work

Hi Materials Researchers, Now you can create nice illustrations of materials in Blender easily. load CIF files into Blender in just one click. I built a Blender addon to fix something that has annoyed researchers for years when it comes to importing CIF fies in blender, That problem is gone. Added more ready to use presets for: Porous materials Lipid bilayer Nanoparticles Carbon nanotube Import 3D molecules from PubChem More coming soon.

@cees_dekker Congratulations!!!👏👏👏

Very special: Thrilled to be honored by the ‘2026 Kazuhiko Kinosita Award in Single-Molecule Biophysics’ from the Biophysical Society today, ‘for groundbreaking contributions to the field of nanobiology and single-molecule biophysics, from nanopores to SMC molecular motors’. Wow!

📢 @SedopticaO71717 and @RSEF_ESP opened the 3rd Ramón Corbalán Prize in Quantum and Nonlinear Optics🌟Deadline 28 Feb Award categories: Best popular science or educational article, Best doctoral thesis, and Young science communicator.📸

I'm working in my own python CIF/XYZ export into Blender. It is a bit convoluted (and makes little sense), but produces a very efficient structure: - Mesh instancing atoms. - Bonds as curves with variable bevel. - Crystal organized in collections, easy to instance. #b3d @Blender

In @UniBasel_en are measuring stuff using entangled atomic clouds. unibas.ch/en/News-Events…

So exciting to kick off our ERC Synergy project GeneMotors today with a workshop with all participants from MIT, Paris, Edinburgh, NKI Amsterdam! #GreatVibes #CoolScience

I'm in the process of learning OpenGL and similar tools to create real time scientific representations. As an early step, I've built a forest-fire simulator that runs in realtime. youtube.com/watch?v=gy73la…

🎉 Front cover highlight! Our article on Tri-modal chemo-magneto-photothermal therapy is featured in Adv. NanoBiomed Res. 🔗 advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/26999307/2… #FrontCover @AdvPortfolio Many thanks to @Scixel for the cover design! 🎨✨

@Andres_2DMat @NanoLetters And congratulations,... as usual too :)

Very happy that our work on strain engineering the 1T-TaS2 charge density wave transition has been highlighted with an inner cover of @NanoLetters. Thanks to @Scixel for the help with the design 🤗

@Andres_2DMat @NanoLetters On fire, as usual. 😁
