>you can compensate for the error rate by just sequence everything multiple times. Usually, but sometimes the errors are correlated. Overall I agree, short read sequencing is a lot more cost effective. Doing an Illumina whole genome sequ

Both do. I got mine through Dante, my wife through Nebula.

MOFs have been the "hot thing" in chemistry for about the past decade so this certainly isn't a surprise. Congrats to the laureates!

This award involved some clever engineering to set up quantum effects in a macroscopic system, but was there any new physics involved here? (Still better than last year's award which wasn't really physics at all!)

Very cool. I wonder how the accuracy of weighing a single cell would compare to counting a huge number of cells (let's say 10^9) and doing a bulk weight measurement. The problem would shift to being able to accurately count cells, and

It seems the question writers optimized for "gotchas" rather than actually deep questions. Example: "What was the rarest noble gas on Earth as as a percentage of all terrestrial matter in 2002? Answer: Oganesson"
