> The researchers also had to carefully warm up the mixture for several hours before slowly cooling it back down to make sure it was the right consistency.

Always got to let the nano-gluten relax.

I hope they used phosphor bronze extruding electrostatic fields. The sauce needs the rough edges to coat.

		Well, the rest of the article basically describes how anyone else but her seemed to uninterested in investing the time and energy to learn and make this pasta or, when interested, found themselves unable to. Including chefs, scientists, and "Barilla Engineers" (prbly one of the coolest or at least most wholesome engineering positions IMHO) So a video in itself might not be enough...

I believe the issue with CNTs and asbestos is that once they're in your lungs, your body won't be able to break it down. This is literally made of flour.
