Urusei Yatsura: "Oh, Library!" by Rumiko Takahashi
Don't tell my dad or brother! (They're both electrical engineers.)
Here's mine!
A bit of Serbian... A bit of English.... Some doodles.... Eeeeeh
enough of pretty aesthetic notes, i want messy, shitass handwriting, chaotic notes only you can understand
Long time no see! I will make an update post soon, but life has been crazy đ
Superconductivity is the property of certain materials that can conduct electric currents with no resistance. This quantum phenomenon is still shrouded in mystery, and until now has been limited to very low temperatures. Yet all this could soon change.
Over the years, scientists have managed to unveil the existence of quite a few intriguing particles, pushing the entire field of physics forward with each discovery. There's the "God Particle" for instance, aka the Higgs Boson that grants all other particles their masses. There's also the so-called "Oh My God!" particle, an unimaginably energetic cosmic ray. But now we have a new particle in town. It's named  the "sun goddess" particleâ â âand is fittingly extraordinary. This particle has an energy level one million times greater than what can be generated in even humanityâs most powerful particle accelerators; it appears to have fallen to Earth in a shower of other, less energetic particles. Like the "Oh My God!" particle, these bits come from faraway regions of space and are known as cosmic rays. The particle has been dubbed "Amaterasu" after Amaterasu Ĺmikami, the goddess of the sun and the universe in Japanese mythology, whose name means "shining in heaven." And just as its mythological namesake is shrouded in mystery, so too is the Amaterasu particle. Its discoverers, including Osaka Metropolitan University researcher Toshihiro Fujii, donât know where the particle came from or indeed what it is. They also still aren't sure what kind of violent and powerful process could have given rise to something as energetic as Amaterasu.

The research team was able to show that since no clock has an infinite amount of energy available (or generates an infinite amount of entropy), it can never have perfect resolution and perfect precision at the same time. This sets fundamental limits to the possibilities of quantum computers.
Two galaxies, a galaxy cluster, supernova remnant, double star system, and planetary nebula are represented.
So happy to finally share this shot with you: a conjunction of the ISS and the moon. This shot required meticulous planning and precise timing to achieve, and the full image (in the second post in the thread) is one of my all-time favorites. CR:AM
sometimes you run into something that just overturns your understanding and builds a new, more coherent picture. this is one of them.
they taught us about diffraction theory at uni - Fresnel, Fraunhofer all of that, we did experiments with lasers - but it never occurred to me to analyse lenses in terms of diffraction. it makes so much sense now! i was never entirely satisfied by the ray approximation to light, so seeing what's really going on in the lightfield and how you can use a diffraction plate as a lens, with each ring contributing higher order Fourier terms to the image, is like. crazy cool.

A collaborative research team led by Bo Zhen of the University of Pennsylvania has unveiled a new approach that directly engineers atomic structures of material by stacking the two-dimensional arrays in spiral formations to tap into novel light-matter interaction. This approach enables metamaterials to overcome the current technical limitations and paves the way for next-generation lasers, imaging, and quantum technologies. Their findings were recently published in the journal Nature Photonics.
7/100 days of productivity - life update
Hello everyone, I have gone offline for past few days... I have had family business to sort out. Honestly it was difficult, but most of it went well! A lot of long lasting family issues got resolved in the past few days, and it was a breath of fresh air! That being said - I have received news regarding my housing and financial situation that are... less than pleasant to hear. Fortunately, they won't impact me or my studies right now, but I have to plan for the future. So focusing on that is my objective as of right now. The next three months of my life are going to be extremely difficult, and I will have to correspond with people who... were horrible to me both in the past and right now, but I can manage. That means I will be extremely busy... That's why I've decided to rest for this weekend! So yeah. Thank you to anyone who decides to read this! Take care-
A crucial piece of evidence in support of a long-standing hypothesis on planet formation has been observed by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), meaning astronomers are confident they've got a part of the cosmic process right. JWST data processed by an international team of researchers backs up the theory of 'icy pebble drift', which is thought to be vital in bringing together the dust and rocks that eventually turn into planets like our own. Simply put, icy pebble drift works like this: as tiny, ice-covered bits of material bump together in the outer reaches of a young protoplanetary disk they lose momentum, allowing them to fall towards the star into a warmer zone where their frozen coating sublimates. It's from this ring of fine debris and water vapor that rocky planets form, effectively serving as a delivery service of building materials right across a newborn solar system.

One or two years ago I got a spam email with these two sentences in them and theyâve been a part of my vocabulary ever since
6/100 days of productivity
Today marks the end of a series of academic obligations I had for this week (a lot of them), and gave me a brief pause before the next wave of both personal and academic obligations begin... So I took a "day off" after I was done with today's lectures đ
Things I've done today:
Defended my project (got max points babeyyy! đ)
Attended the lectures
Played Honkai Star Rail
Prepped for the trip to my hometown tomorrow
The only acceptable ads should be shit like "groceries on sale" and "free event at the local library"
