The Action Lab: What Does The Strong Nuclear Force Look Like? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx4lNihOT4U The simplest easy model for the strong force that I found is to simply calculate the magnetic dipole force between the particles. Electrons protons neutrons each have permanent magnetic dipole moments in units of Joules/Tesla. To get the force in Newtons multiply the

Susumu Komiyama, I was looking for your paper, “Electron temperature of hot spots in quantum Hall conductors” and found this THz imaging paper on ResearchGate. I think at zero temperature the magnetic energy density and its gradients are important. “hot spots” are just part of it. I was looking at ways to push the fields

APS Physics: Large-scale Scientific Facilities and Diplomacy at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtKEWt-WuCo Laura Greene, I have been studying (looking for ways to create and maintain) high magnetic fields (over 400 Tesla) for more than 50 years now. Every few years I check to see what MagLab has been doing, but the website always seems a bit chaotic and incomplete.

Beneq: Chemistry of Atomic Layer Deposition with Sean Barry – ALD Stories Ep. 22 at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKpJxdp9P8k Sean Barry, Fascinating to hear your story. I got introduced to gold atomic deposition because someone asked me to process and quantify their camera images of gold nano and micro droplets over time. Then later flame synthesis of SiC

The Action Lab: What Happens if You Focus a 5W Laser With a Giant Magnifying Glass? Negative Kelvin Temperature! at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdjTYlReE-I The intensity in Watts/meter^2 is roughly equal to the Stefan-Boltzmann constant times the 4th power of the temperature in Kelvin. When you focus parallel rays to a smaller area, the intensity goes up, and the

I am reading at https://www.opnme.com/opnMINER/document-data?ocDocId=5604694&repo=pmc. The background, text color and layout are difficult to read. Is there any way to turn off the background animation, set the font weight and size to readable values? I came across a note on ResearchGate asking for proposals. I was interested in your site and purpose. For the

Physics@Berkeley: April 10, 2023: Chen-Yu Liu The Neutron Lifetime Puzzle at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1r8SnosSFU Chen-Yu Liu, Links to the author(s) and collaborators. Links to the papers (make sure link to open accessible sources). Links to the raw data and algorithms (software used). No missing pieces, get all the settings, assumptions, steps. There are about 5 billion Internet users

Physics @ Berkeley: Physics Graduation – May 14, 2023 at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee_bcfLn0P4 Dear Physics at Berkeley, Whoever posted this, please be aware there are about 5 billion people using the Internet now. This video might be seen by millions of them in the coming decades and more in centuries to come. That number, and what they

KB9VBR Antennas: Project E.L.F. – The history of communicating with submarines underwater – #HamRadioQA at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC1cqwGkOwY Now, with high dielectric constant and magnetic permeability antennas, these electromagnetic frequencies do not need large structures. Plus gravitational sensor array methods have progressed rapidly in the last couple of decades. So now you can use gravitational location methods, at

Atacama Makers teaching radio astronomy and science and measurement to students in nearby countries https://almaobservatory.org/en/announcements/atacama-makers-innovating-from-the-schools-of-the-desert/ Valeria Foncea, I visited the Atacama Makers page. It was very dissatisfying. None of the pictures was explained. If you are helping one country’s children, but could post materials online for 5 billion Internet users, that is just sad if
