Silicon, a new resource in my modpack
It's main aim will be a very efficent source of lava and rock, as well as the basis of some Create machinery!

This engineer uses light to get hearts pumping
Pengju Li designed a new type of pacemaker to help doctors during open-heart surgery
Each year, more than 2 million people worldwide undergo open-heart surgery. This involves opening the chest and briefly stopping the heart. Getting those hearts pumping again can sometimes be risky, says Pengju Li. A molecular engineer, he designs bioelectronic devices at the University of Chicago in Illinois. This tech treats diseases by stimulating muscles and the nervous system with electricity.   Doctors might restart hearts by compressing them with their hands. But that’s “very invasive and demands significant expertise,” says Li. Other times, surgeons use metal tongs and electrodes. These risk damaging sensitive tissue. Li’s team has designed a light-powered pacemaker that might one day help hearts find their rhythm after surgery.

I find people that believe in magical/healing crystals so interesting because QUARTZ magical you got are USING IT WRONG
SILICON
This shit is magic, honest to goodness it is questionable how close it is to magic.
Want to create an electrical machine that can do anything and probably eventually think? BAM SILICON
Tumblr media
This motherfucking piece of sand can think, this thing? it can make trillions of multiplications a SECOND, all thanks to silicon as this bitch is a semiconductor which allows it do? literarily? any computation? like literarily anything if you give it enough sand and time. it can do it.
Add some oxygen and you got fucking quartz babyyyy. Quartz is so fucking magical. Want to tell the time with nanosecond precision? BAM pass some magical electricity into a small piece of it and now it's grooving at 32768 oscillations per second exactly now you have a clock just like that.
Tumblr media
Are you angry with you quartz? Hit it, BAM it generates electricity if you hit it babyyyy you hit it, generates electricity, how, fuckin,cool is that man.
Tumblr media
Bam electricity just by punching it
Are you even more angry with your quartz? That's sad because quartz its pretty great but fine you can make it into a powder and OH WAIT, BAM, SILICA. You know the little snacks that come with your clothing? that's silica babyyyy and it does like a trillion other things. mmmm yummy
Tumblr media
Hey want to be immune to fire? make it into a jello and take away all of the water from it and BAM silica aerogel
Tumblr media
look at this shit, and tell me its not fucking filled with arcane magic, oh also its the most thermal insulating material on the planet
This is exhausting isn't it? maybe you want a glass of water right? WRONG GLASS
Tumblr media
this is also silicon babyyyy you where fooled haha but I jest.
SILICON/QUARTZ IS FUCKING MAGIC BUT IT DOESN"T CURE DIESEASES STOPPPPPPPP ITS ALREADY MAGIC YOU DON"T HAVE TO ADD FAKE MAGICS TO IT HJDJHDHBU@DHB

Silicon is an important component of many electronic devices, from transistors to solar panels. Diatoms, sponges, and radiolarians also make use of silicon for their body structures.

CARBON:
Forms the basis of all life
What diamonds, coal, and pencil lead are made of
Used to make graphene, one of the strongest materials (one atom of thickness is 200x stronger than steel)
SILICON:
Not to be confused with Silicone
Could potentially be used to make life instead of carbon
Used in a lot of electronics, hence the name of silicon valley
ARGON:
Has a distinctive purple glow
used in neon signs
often mistaken as a pirate's favorite element
POTASSIUM:
Found in high quantity in bananas
burning it produces a light purple or red flame
the first metal to be discovered by electrolysis
STRONTIUM:
Used in cancer treatment
Used in toothpaste
The most accurate atomic clock (to one second in the 200 million years) uses strontium atoms
FLOURINE:
the most receptive and most electronegative of all the chemical elements
oxygen, helium, neon, and argon are the only elements fluorine can't react with
the only element that can react with noble gases, specifically xenon, krypton, and radon
BISMUTH:
the most diamagnetic metal (meaning it gets repelled by magnets instead of attracted)
Known for its unique shape and colorful style
PROMETHIUM:
the last lanthanoid to be discovered
PLUTONIUM:
Named after the dwarf planet Pluto
Was once thought to have been discovered by Enrico Fermi along with element 93, but he was actually mistaken. He named it Hesperium.
An unnaturally poor conductor of electricity
Used to make atomic bombs, even more powerful than uranium
Known by some as the "forbidden gummy"
COBALT:
Turns a vibrant blue when heated to extreme temperatures
Named after kobolds, who are "mythical, death-dealing goblins" (not the lizard kobold)
One of only three elements that are ferromagnetic at room temperature

HELLO AGAIN! I'll probably get you soon with my drawings and questions, hehe!
Tumblr media
This time I want to show a couple of articles in the same style with canonical characters, I hope you like it!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I chose the characters by roulette! And I also want to say about the answer to my mini comic, I really didn't know that you would understand Russian.. hehe, well, then I might write on it more often!
Tumblr media
Maybe I'll draw something else in the near future, and now I wish you good luck!!
так мы и поверили арбузный ебака.(мем вспомнил , эта к вам не относится в агрессивном виде , просто смешно звучит хд)
oh I'm loving these takes on the cattos, Beryllium & Flerovium especially hehe, the different eye styles & the outfits are so cool............
and im gonna say Silicon gives John Egbert vibes before anyone else does lol

First wurtzite-structured MgSiN₂ thin film unlocks promising electronic properties
Wurtzite-structured crystals, characterized by their hexagonal symmetry, are widely valued for their unique electronic and piezoelectric properties—their ability to generate an electric charge when subjected to mechanical stress. Among these, gallium nitride (GaN), a key material in blue light-emitting diodes, and aluminum nitride (AlN), used in high-frequency radio frequency (RF) filters in smartphones, are prominent examples. These materials play a crucial role in advanced semiconductors, sensors, and actuators. Scientists at the Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo), Japan, have made a significant breakthrough in expanding the wurtzite structure to include heterovalent ternary nitrides, specifically for potential piezoelectric and ferroelectric applications. Their paper, which was made available on February 6, 2025, in Advanced Electronic Materials, describes the fabrication of the first-ever magnesium silicon nitride (MgSiN2) heterovalent nitride in a wurtzite structure with piezoelectric properties.
