Scientists have developed a new approach for generating layered, difficult-to-combine, heterostructured solids (materials composed of layers of dissimilar building blocks), opening new avenues for electronic and energy applications. The technique for making them is simple, and counterintuitive -- it involves smashing the pristine materials to build new ones. Smashing things together by milling seems like the least plausible way to achieve atomic ordering, but it's turned out to be more successful than the scientists themselves imagined. (1)

Primitive methods. Brilliant methods.

Is there any difference?

All things that work share a simple common trait: They work.

And anything working seems simple. Like anything we know that seems redundant. In the same way anything existing seeming obvious. That is the meaning of progress anyway. To take things from the dark and bring them into light. To take things that seem complex and make them simple. To take things that do not work and make them work.

At the end everything will work.

But take a minute and think.

Everything work from the beginning. And the only thing that made us want to fix them was our inability to see that. Look at those heterostructured solids. Now that you can make them they look so simple. At the end everything will look simple.

At the end everything will be One.

Could there be anything more complex than that?
