Think article metrics correlate to quality of research, or innovation, or interest from the community… here is a reminder: one of the most popular articles in Science China is this, it has excellent metrics. The CuNTs paper, as it is often referred to. htt

@PalliThordarson Can we make an exception for copper nanotubes? 😇 https://t.co/pNMNepQx8C
@sondosia Right?! Speaking of which, this study's abbreviation for its copper (Cu) nanotubes (NTs) is fully 100% inappropriate and not okay aaand/buuut also the only reason I know anything about copper nanotubes >.> https://t.co/n9pOpg14Ez
Apparently they also use the word virgin quite a lot in this field. Can't help but imagine some weird r34 polymer hentai. "Oh pls don't enhance my interfacial adhesion by adding CuNTs I'm still a virgin polycaprolactone 🥵". "Oh daddy let's do the chain

@curiouswavefn Well let's see. What is the most over-hyped molecule (and who can you offend by swearing about it)? Personally, I don't think we can deny that copper nanotubes are nothing but CuNTs. https://t.co/awxGfAZPA2

If you had to abbreviate 'copper nanotubes' in a paper, would you go with the same option these authors went with? Perhaps further evidence that in scientific writing abbreviations can be over used! https://t.co/pGCOQyaHaL
