Faraday Paradox Solved! He was correct – the field does not rotate with a rotating magnet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kl0-sKbZsKM It was hard to follow you. But I liked your emphasis on the D orbitals. Generally, there is a large range of “magnetic quantum numbers” and many situations where orbitals have unpaired electrons. The D and F orbitals

Fusion for SpaceX levitation, industrial and space needs. Global open tokens and global open resources I was reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levitated_Dipole_Experiment today and encouraged. While the economics of bulk electricity production are not particularly favorable, there are many new transportation, industrial and space applications where GigaWatt and larger power modules are needed. For instance to

Adrian A. Wanner @AdrianAWanner Fantastic talk by @Irene_RodrigFer from the cSAXS team @psich_en at #EMC2024 on her PhD work on using X-ray tensor tomography for studying the impact of physical exercise on bone healing around implants. PS: She’s on the job market! https://pic.x.com/enk5uk9tnw Replying to @AdrianAWanner @Irene_RodrigFer and @psich_en I do not see a

I randomly sample things on the Internet and often trace out business processes to see what companies are doing. Just now I was watching an Australian 60 Minutes about plastic recycling (lack of recycling) and at 6:39 it showed a dirty package of Skittles. I thought, “How hard would it be to send Mars Wrigley

The Internet – All knowledge, all languages, all global open resources, all devices, all humans and all AIs I get a lot of things on my page on X each day and try to comment on a few things. I have rather substantial collections of life experiences I think are relevant to groups trying to

Andrew Millison: How Farmers Reshaped a Region and Solved Drought at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79VUAFq2rbg Beautiful planning and vision. I hope you might help Bangladesh and India manage their floods with interconnected plans that look at water management, not borders. All the deserts of the world can be recovered and carefully monitored. But you will have to protect

Niko McCarty @NikoMcCarty The whole notion of “Write, Read, Edit” as some great driver of progress in biology is incredibly misguided. Yes, DNA sequencing and synthesis costs have fallen rapidly. What have we gotten for it? The vast majority of strains we make don’t work, because we don’t understand the https://pic.x.com/zt1nkt9spv Replying to @NikoMcCarty The

Baran Hashemi @Rythian47 How can we teach Transformers to learn and model Enumerative geometry? How deep can AI go in the rabbit hole of understanding complex mathematical concepts? We’ve developed a new approach using Transformers to compute psi-class intersection numbers in algebraic geometry. https://pic.x.com/xkkjgh1bke Replying to @Rythian47 Enumerative geometry is not “all mathematics”.
