"If it were called something else, it wouldn't make you think there's something there you don't know or can't trust. But the moment you start talking about molecules, about these particles that you can't see, people begin to get concerned...

"If we keep seeing science and cooking as two Martians coming at each other with test tubes, we all lose," he argued. "We have to normalize the relationship between them."

"The materials are in motion, but sometimes the dance of the charges allows them to fall in step," says NIH physicist Adrian Parsegian, one of the authors of the paper. "When that happens, you get attractive forces...
