2/3 Jiang & Liu (2026) https://arxiv.org/abs/2609.18076 show that in a bounded 3‑D domain with non‑trivial topology, curl‑free fields may lack a global scalar potential and divergence‑free fields may lack a global vector potential. #academicsky #electromagnetism #sciwri

1/5 A microtubule is a hollow tube of protein, stiff enough to hold a cell's shape. Run a strong electric field across it in a simulation and the tube's lattice cracks open — like a zipper giving way. No heat, no chemistry. Just force. #academicsky #biophysics #sciwri

I had forgotten how fun #SciWri conferences are! Yesterday, I had lunch with a running shoe researcher whom we berated with questions about toe boxes and cushioning and lacing techniques. Then, I embarrassed myself in a science comics session by drawing the ugliest dolphin humankind has ever seen.
