The old recipe of "observe something unusual, declare presence of aliens" doesn't work anymore: at least on scientists. The seven hurdles of the CoLD scale illustrate why

🎯 The Goal

Electricity is abstract - we know it works, but can’t see it.

The app visualized electron flow through circuits, making learning intuitive and safe. No real components needed, just curiosity and experimentation. 🧠⚡️

🔬 尿不湿材料+显微镜=细胞界的大新闻

科学家发现只要把细胞泡在海藻酸钠（就是你家娃纸尿裤里那玩意儿）里面，它就膨胀成透明大球。以前看不到的细胞细节，现在花几百块的显微镜就能搞定。

这叫"膨胀显微镜"——别笑，真能膨胀出60万倍的放大效果。MIT那帮人花了9年终于从"异想天开"变成了"所有生物实验室都能用"。

最离谱的是，隔壁实验室本来还在用昂贵冷冻切片折腾细胞壁，发现这技术后直接"卧槽，我六年白干了"。

Pure genius. 事实证明，有时候解决科学难题只需要换个思路，或者换个...尿不湿？👶
