The ancient craft of goldbeating—using pressure to make paper-thin gold leaf—enters the nanoscale in a study where gold nanoparticles as tiny as ~18 nm are compressed into 2D sheets. In PNAS Nexus: https://academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/article/2/8/pgad267/7245834
Nanoscale goldbeating: Solid-state transformation of 0D and 1D gold nanoparticles to anisotropic 2D morphologies

Abstract. Goldbeating is the ancient craft of thinning bulk gold (Au) into gossamer leaves. Pioneered by ancient Egyptian craftsmen, modern mechanized iteration

Making liquid dance: Using focused ultrasound, a microfluidic system can manipulate tiny droplets of liquid from a distance, causing them to jump up to 10 cm off a substrate.

Ultrasound-based microfluidic manipulation platform for airborne droplets

As science races toward automation and quick experiments, it is sometimes required to concurrently handle small amounts of liquids (droplets), from picoliters to microliters. Moreover, droplet jumping is required when transporting droplets to distantly positioned devices or containers. However, the digital microfluidic technology, which manipulates droplets on a surface, is constrained to a maximum height of approximately 5 mm.

When public figures go negative on social media, their engagement increases more than it would for ordinary users who make negative posts. In PNAS Nexus: https://academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/article/2/7/pgad219/7220103
Negative expressions are shared more on Twitter for public figures than for ordinary users

Abstract. Social media users tend to produce content that contains more positive than negative emotional language. However, negative emotional language is more
