Oooo can we get knockout with a reader who's a total fashionista and and who takes pride in how well kept they are maybe they could even talk about how different beauty standards are between humans and Cybertronian and what similarities they share I think it could be really interesting and maybe reader could try and do his makeup maybe causes he's got a date with breakdown later I'm also gonna be a regular on this blog so I'm dubbing myself 🦔anon ✌️

YESSSS I LOVE WRITING ANYTHING THAT INVOLVES KNOCKOUT!!

Human, GN!Reader and Knockout friendship things, Reader is a stylist

Flawless Reflections

The whir of polishing drones hummed in the background like white noise. Knockout stood in front of a towering mirror pane bolted into the far wall of his personal workspace. A warm, luminescent gloss shimmered across his cherry-red plating, gleaming with effort and precision.

You lounged nearby on a sleek countertop, legs crossed, flipping through a digital fashion magazine you’d downloaded onto your tablet. When Knockout stepped back and made an admiring hum at his own reflection, you glanced up, grinning.

“Breakdown’s gonna short a few circuits when he sees you tonight.”

Knock Out turned his helm slightly toward you, optics bright with amusement. “Of course he is. As if I would present myself in anything less than perfection.”

You set your tableg down on the counter and stood up, walking towards the area of the counter that was closer to him to get a better look.

“Hmm... I’ve gotta ask. Do Cybertronians have makeup? Like, real cosmetic stuff? Not just polish and detailing work.”

Knock Out smirked.

“You mean like your powders and creams? Not quite. Our version of ‘makeup’ is more about finishings—electro-lacquers, nano-gloss, energon-reactive detailing pigments. Some bots even use microprojected surface modulations for dramatic effect. But all of it’s tailored for our materials and sensory feedback.”

“Figures...”

You stepped around him, studying the smooth lines of his armor. “Human skin care would probably melt off your faceplates anyway.”

He chuckled. “And your eyeliner would fry if I applied it to my servos.”

“Hmm...” you thoguht for a moment, then, reaching into your tote, you pulled out a compact palette. “Wanna see how a human does it? I can't really use any of my products but I can use this paint over here.”

Knockout tilted his helm, visibly intrigued. “Why not? I do love a muse with taste.” He bent at the knee so his face was closer to your level.

You smiled as you stepped up to a rolling stool and climbed on for height. With a small paint brush by the large bucket of silver chrome paint, you traced along the smooth line beneath his optic.

“You know,” you said, working with a practiced hand, “beauty’s kind of a battlefield here on earth. For humans, I mean. There’s this endless pressure to be effortlessly perfect, to be symmetrical, flawless, young… And the irony is, perfection isn’t even the goal anymore—uniqueness is.”

Knockout hummed thoughtfully. “Sounds familiar. We judge based on polish, functionality, frame work… but there’s still that pursuit of individuality. I’m admired because I make style the standard. Others just chase practicality.” He glanced at your hand. “This paint you’re using—not exactly my usual gold accent but I like it.”

You nodded. “It’s meant to bring out your optics. If I had your kind of canvas, I’d use something with a chrome shimmer or ultraviolet underglow. Something that reflects movement. Afterall, you are all about the drama.”

“Flattery gets you everywhere,” he purred. “Tell me, would humans ever paint themselves entirely in one color, like we do? It seems efficient.”

“Not usually,” you said, stepping back to admire your design. “Think monochrome fashion, or full-body paint. But we also obsess over contrast. Complexion, undertones, hair, texture… Humans are all about combining layers and highlighting flaws as features. It’s chaos, but it works.”

He thought for a moment, picturing that in his head. “Fascinating. And yet here you are, painting me like a canvas.”

You grinned. “Because you’re beautiful, Knockout. And I’m a stylist. It’s what we do.”

He straightened, optics glowing with something halfway between pride and soft amusement. “Breakdown’s going to fall over himself when he sees this.”

“Tell him I charge for full face beats." You teased, putting the brush away with the paint. Knockout turned slightly to admire the design in his mirror—sparkly silver contouring, a subtle sweep up like sharp eyeliner wings, dramatic but elegant.

“You know,” he said slowly, “I should bring you along on more missions. Keep the aesthetic standards of this faction from falling into the gutter.” You smiled, flattered that the fashionista of the Decepticons was flattering your work. "Only if I get hazard pay for working around all the unpolished scrap metal you call coworkers."

He laughed, full and genuine, and for a moment, the sterile, med bay felt like the inside of a luxury salon.

I hope you like it! I'm still figuring out my writing style but I'm getting the hang of things! <3

Research illuminates the path to superior electro-optic performance in aluminum scandium nitride alloys

From integrated photonics to quantum information science, the ability to control light with electric fields—a phenomenon known as the electro-optic effect—supports vital applications such as light modulation and frequency transduction. These components rely on nonlinear optical materials, in which light waves can be manipulated by applying electric fields. Conventional nonlinear optical materials such as lithium niobate have a large electro-optic response but are hard to integrate with silicon devices. In the search for silicon-compatible materials, aluminum scandium nitride (AlScN), which had already been flagged as an excellent piezoelectric—referring to a material's ability to generate electricity when pressure is applied, or to deform when an electric field is applied—has come to the fore. However, better control of its properties and means to enhance its electro-optic coefficients are still required.

Sam Petts-Davies's Setup for Thom's 'Everything' Tour

A photo of the setup, shared by Sam on his instagram account with the caption "tour begins tonight. i’ll be parked at front of house with this box of esoterics for the duration. it’s going to be something really special."

Thom's solo tour has just begun with a show in Christchurch, New Zealand, and Sam Petts-Davies is along for the ride!

Since Radiohead's earliest shows, there's always been at least a few effects added by an engineer at the FOH (front of house) mixing desk to keep the band's sound clear and coherent. With Radiohead, that role was filed by Jim Warren. Even after Thom started bringing pedalboard full of vocal effects on tour, Jim continued to apply additional effects including plugins such as the Waves C4 multiband compressor for vocals. You can find more info on Jim's work in these posts.

For The Smile, even fewer hardware effects were needed at the FOH desk, in part due to Thom's expanded vocal pedalboard. In 2022, the Smile's mix engineer mainly relied on plugins from an Avid VENUE S6L-32D digital desk, supplemented only by a TUBE-TECH CL 1B Tube Optical compressor (presumably for Thom's vocals).

It's clear that when Thom is performing totally solo, a different approach is needed. But it's hard to imagine that any past FOH setup has been so full of hardware effects! And not just effects, but also modulators and an usual mixer, as we'll see....

For those who don't know, Sam initially served as a engineer under Nigel during the recording of Junun in 2015. He subsequently did engineering work on Spectre, A Moon Shaped Pool, and on the strings for the OKNOTOK singles. In 2018, he co-produced the soundtrack to Suspiria with Thom, and apparently Thom was a fan because Sam received a full production credit for Thom's soundtrack to Confidenza. He also produced both of the Smile albums released this year: Wall of Eyes and Cutouts.

For comprehensibility, we've divided the setup into four sections: the core, the modular, the pedals, and the rack. We'll start with the core setup.

Core Setup

This section is the nexus: receiving input from Thom's stage setup, sending it through various effects, and mixing it all together. The Matrix Mixer is using to both mix together and feedback the various effects in Thom's eurorack setup. The Yamaha DM3-D appears to be the central mixing console for the entire setup. Despite its small size, the Yamaha boasts 22 channels and a huge range of built-in effects, and on top of that it can also run VST plugins.

Modular Setup

In the decade since Thom first used a Make Noise Shared System Plus to process his voice and piano, his eurorack effects setup has expanded quite a bit! The Shared System is designed to be both a sound generator and an effects processor, and since then Thom has created dedicated setups for each of those applications. This setup is the effects processor, with lots of delays, filters, and reverbs, plus some LFOs and CV sources to modulate those effects. The additional Doepfer case that Thom has on stage, might have some of his sound generators, but knowing Thom it could just as easily be even more Make Noise Echophon delays.

Why FPV Drones Are the New “Poor Man’s Air Force”

1. A Revolutionary Shift

In modern warfare, drones have redefined the battlefield. Among them, FPV (First-Person-View) drones stand out as the ultimate expression of cost-effective aerial power.

In Ukraine and elsewhere, inexpensive FPV “kamikaze” drones—built from hobby-grade parts—have disrupted the traditional cost dynamics of air operations. Averaging just $200–$500 apiece, they offer a lethal alternative to artillery and missiles that may cost thousands more.

2. Precision That Packs a Punch

Despite their small size, FPV drones are deadly:

Accurate targeting: FPV pilots use real-time video to loiter, line up, and strike lightly armoured or soft targets with surgical precision .

Sniper-like effectiveness: They're likened to sniper bullets—precise, agile, and ideal for disabling vehicles, equipment, or personnel .

Although their one-way design means many aren’t returned, the low unit cost ensures that even a 50–80% hit rate is a highly economical trade-off.

3. Aerial Power for the Masses

FPV drones are accessible:

Homegrown production: Ukraine and Russia have mobilized civil and small-scale workshops to produce thousands of units monthly—Ukraine around 100,000 and Russia up to 1.2–1.4 million.

DIY affordability: With components available off-the-shelf, grassroots assemblers equip frontline units where resources are scarce .

This democratization of aerial power allows even modestly funded forces to launch devastating strikes—hence the term “poor man’s air force.”

4. Battlefield Disruption

FPV drones have reshaped tactics:

Deep strikes: Flying up to 20 km, they enable tactical teams to execute kamikaze and surveillance missions deep behind enemy lines.

Drone swarms: Coordinated attacks—sometimes dubbed “drone artillery”—can suppress or scatter enemy forces over extended durations .

Psychological impact: Their speed (~60 km/h) and unpredictable noise demoralize troops who cannot outrun them .

In one dramatic viral video, an FPV drone even escorted a surrendering soldier to friendly forces—a clear symbol of their operational versatility.

5. Tactical & Cost Superiority

Compared to conventional weaponry:

A $500 FPV drone displacing or destroying equipment valued at $50,000+ offers a stark cost advantage.

Analog FPV systems are hard to jam electronically, unlike many digital counterparts using proprietary systems .

Even advanced fiber‑optic guided FPVs—immune to jamming—are being rolled out by both Ukraine and Russia.

This blend of affordability, adaptability, and resilience is redefining air dominance.

6. Countermeasures and Arms Race

As FPV use surges:

Electronic warfare: Powers are investing in jamming systems, though these tend to be bulky and energy-intensive.

Pilot training: FPV drone operation requires skill—both sides are ramping up pilot training programs.

Emerging AI & autonomy: Future FPV swarms may become semi-autonomous, using onboard AI to coordinate group strikes .

This signals a fresh technological arms race in unmanned systems.

Nuclear Spin Quantum Control In Alkaline-Earth Atoms

Nuclear Spin Quantum

The nuclear spin of alkaline-earth atoms, particularly strontium-87 (({}^{87}\text{Sr})), presents ample potential for developing quantum technologies like sensitive metrology and  quantum computing. Nuclear spin of a single ({}^{87}\text{Sr}) atom, with F=9/2 spin quantum number, has 10 spin states, unlike ordinary qubits with only two states (0 and 1). Due to its multi-state capabilities, it can operate as a “qudit,” considerably increasing the quantum information that can be encoded in a single atom.

Nuclear spin’s strong isolation from outside perturbations makes it ideal for quantum information. Due to its nuclear composition, low vector and tensor polarisabilities in the ground state, and small Landé factor, the atom is immune to stray magnetic field gradients and spin-dependent light shifts. This intrinsic robustness allows coherent superpositions to last for many seconds, resulting in extremely extended coherence times, according to researchers. We achieved a 40 ± 7 second echo coherence time (({T}{2}^{{{{\mathrm{echo}}}}})) and an estimated 21 ± 7 second Ramsey dephasing time (({T}{2}^{\star })).

High-Dimensional Coherent Control

These high-dimensional nuclear spin states require manipulation beyond spin precession (using su(2) generators) to properly utilise their quantum potential. Scientists used a complicated tensor light shift approach to do this.

The TLS generates a quadratic energy shift between Zeeman states proportional to (m_F^2) using a calibrated laser beam. Scientists can manipulate two-photon Raman resonance settings with this energy change. Careful detuning lets them coherently manage isolated spin states. Engineering unitary transformations from su(N) generators allow for more flexible spin precession control than ordinary spin precession. Experiments for coherent operations have shown high fidelity, often greater than 99% for certain states.

Two main types of Raman transitions have been identified:

(\boldsymbol{\delta}\text{mF}=\mathbf{1}) Spin-changing transitions: These transitions between neighbouring Zeeman sublevels (e.g., m_F = -5/2) and m_F = -3/2) are achieved by absorbing (\pi)-photons from the TLS beam and (\sigma^-) photons from the Raman beam. These exhibit high fidelity (0.994) for a (\pi/2) pulse.

The formula is (\boldsymbol{\delta}\text{mF}=\mathbf{2}). Modulating the Raman laser into two frequency components causes spin-changing transitions that modify nearby Zeeman sublevels (e.g., m_F = -7/2) and -3/2). While these two-level rotations are similar, they have more severe damping (fidelity ~0.90 for a (\pi/2) pulse) in recent investigations.

The experimental setup for these operations is:

Optical Tweezers: SLMs build holographic arrays that trap individual ({}^{87}\text{Sr}) atoms. “Phoenix” from Atom Computing, Inc. uses such a platform.

Two phase-coherent laser beams, the Raman beam for transitions and the TLS beam for quadratic energy shift, are created from a single source and carefully regulated using acousto-optic modulators (AOMs) and electro-optic modulators (EOMs).

Spin State Measurement: Spin-selective momentum transfer measures spin-state distribution after an experiment cycle.

Interferometry and Applications of Qudit

These high-dimensional nuclear spin states can be coherently manipulated, enabling quantum simulation and sensing.

Ramsey interferometry describes qubit coherence. Inhomogeneity and polarisation changes in the TLS beam can cause decoherence and phase noise, but turning it off adiabatically during the interferometer’s dark period reduces these effects. Long-lived coherent superpositions over seconds are observed.

Parallel Ramsey Interferometers for Multi-Parameter Sensing: This innovative method observes many external fields on atoms simultaneously. Use independent pairings of spin states in the atom’s hyperfine structure to operate two Ramsey interferometers simultaneously to detect characteristics like quadratic and linear Zeeman shifts. Parallelisation allows correlation analysis of numerous noise sources and common noise rejection, which sequential observations cannot do.

The simultaneous measurement of many non-commuting observables is generally forbidden by quantum mechanics. This solution solves the problem. During measurement, the approach coherently translates information from main qubit states into initially empty “ancillary” spin states, extending the atoms’ Hilbert space. Controlled rotations on the qubit and auxiliary states can reveal previously unobservable non-commuting observables in the extended state space’s final population measurement. This technique allows new physics investigations and better collective atomic state characterisation.

Future outlook and directions

These findings are promising, but more research is needed to optimise these systems. Cross-talk between nearby qubits, Stark-shift beam dispersion, and quasi-degeneracy prevent simultaneous control of all 10 spin states. Future efforts aim to reduce these by:

Applying stronger magnetic fields.

Using advanced pulse shaping to reduce non-resonant population transfers.

Narrower optical transitions, like the ({}^{1}\text{S}_0 \to {}^{3}\text{P}_2) transition, are being studied for TLS engineering to reduce spontaneous emission.

The goal is to increase computational array sizes and achieve quicker gate operation durations, with system coherence times 10(^8) times longer than gate lengths.

High-dimensional nuclear spins in alkaline-earth atoms like strontium-87 require these advancements for next-generation quantum sensors and universal quantum computers. Large nuclear spins with su(N) symmetry are intriguing for quantum many-body physics and offer new opportunities to study quantum magnetism.

Photodiode Receiver: Detects light reflection from the glass surface

Signal Processing Unit: Analyzes data at a rate of 100 samples/second

The most important capability of the rain and light sensor is its ability to detect raindrops as small as 0.5 millimeters.

How Does a Rain Sensor Work?

The rain sensor operates in four stages:

Emission of light pulses to the external glass surface

Measurement of reflection coefficient with photodiode

Calculation of precipitation intensity based on reflection changes

Sending commands to ECU for wiper speed adjustment

The rain sensor system can distinguish between rain, snow, and water spray from other vehicles.

Benefits of Rain Sensors

Key advantages of rain sensors in cars include:

40% reduction in accident probability during rainy conditions

Automatic wiper speed adjustment from 1 to 6 levels

Rain sensor construction is based on advanced optical and electronic principles. The sensor consists of a light-emitting diode (LED) for projecting infrared light onto the windshield surface and an optical sensor for measuring the amount of reflected light.

Under normal, dry conditions, infrared light is completely reflected from the glass surface. However, when water droplets are present, the light becomes scattered and the amount of reflected light decreases.

These changes are detected by the optical sensor and converted into electronic signals. These signals are then sent to the vehicle's Electronic Control Unit (ECU), which issues commands to activate the wipers.

Modern rain sensors are constructed from these materials:

Lens: Polycarbonate with anti-reflective coating

PCB: Printed circuit fiber with gold plating

Optical Adhesive: UV-Curable epoxy with refractive index of 1.52

Housing: ABS with IP69K protection rating

Operating temperature range (typically -40 to +85°C)

CAN Bus compatibility

Manufacturer brand (Bosch vs. Valeo)

The current price range for car rain sensors in the Iranian market in 2024 is between 1.2 to 5 million tomans.

Rain Sensor Installation

To install a car rain sensor, the installation location on the windshield is first determined, usually behind the center mirror. The glass surface in this area is then completely cleaned and dried to ensure proper sensor adhesion.

The rain sensor, which includes an electronic module and an optical gel layer, is attached to the glass using special adhesive. After installation, the sensor cables are connected to the vehicle's electronic system, and necessary software settings are performed through diagnostic equipment to properly synchronize the sensor with the wiper systems.

Finally, the sensor's performance is tested under various weather conditions to ensure its proper operation.

Rain Sensor Repair

Rain sensor repair typically involves checking and fixing problems related to its optical and electronic components. If the sensor doesn't work properly, electrical connections and related cables should first be examined.

Additionally, the windshield surface at the sensor installation location must be cleaned of any contamination and scratches. If there are problems with optical components, such as LED or optical sensor, replacement of these parts by experienced specialists is recommended.

In some cases, reprogramming the sensor software or vehicle ECU can resolve operational issues.

Rain Sensor: Integration of Optics and Electronics for Safety

Modern rain sensors with 99% accuracy and 50-millisecond response time have created new standards in active safety systems. Development of this technology is moving toward integration with more advanced systems such as fog detection and automatic headlight adjustment.

Proper maintenance, including periodic lens cleaning and connection inspection, can extend the system's useful life up to 10 years.
