The Action Lab: Lasers, LEDS, lenses and focusing intensity to burn or illuminate things, vortex pressure

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

Global molecular research is hampered by every group creating their own website policies and practices

  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

Separating and Using Gravitational and electromagnetic signals

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: Teaching radio astronomy and science and measurement to students in nearby countries, should help all countries

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

The Efficient Engineer: Bolted Joints, accessible parts and components, heliospheric economics

The Efficient Engineer: The Incredible Strength of Bolted Joints at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLzTB4KLCxU The Efficient Engineer, If parts, components, systems, and supplies are not universally (globally) accessible and widely used, that imposes a high cost. You show Mars.  There, heavy bolts and Amazon overnight are likely not going to be available right away. The annual Earth budget is

Twitter: Global Collaborative Worksite for 200 Million Teachers and Mentors and Guides, Tools not text

@SchraderKing 85 Million teachers, or 200 Million is a small number for a global collaborative worksite. With AIs to remember and assist and interact, not so many humans are needed to share all knowledge and tools with billions of lifetime Internet users.   https://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/teachers @ThinkImpact_ At ThinkImpact.com “Well reasearched information from trusted sources.” “Low levels

Illinois Quantum: Quantum-enhanced interferometric imaging at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Thm-RNUAbT8 Brian J Smith, Right now, if you had enough money, or influence or charisma, you could set up imaging nodes all around Earth and in its orbits, around the Moon and Mars and have baselines that are precisely known and large enough for solar system sized baselines, eventually. And
