Because it seems like I can't go back to writing my thesis report unless I get cezhou out of my system (for today), rereading the book made me realize how utterly well written it is in terms of how cezhou dynamics changes. I know they get disgustingly cute later on, I know xiao chiye dotes on shen zechuan to the point where he mostly forgets everyone around them. I know they are utterly besotted with each other.

Yet, reading the early chapters when xcy was directly against szc, everytime xcy figures something out which could potentially harm szc, I feel a chill up my spine. Which is useless cause I know nothing will happen, I know the story. And yet, the writing is so immaculate I cannot help but fear xcy. Every single instance where xcy sees through szc's plan a little voice in my head goes "oh fuck". And I think this is one of the best feats an author could achieve. Tang Jiu Qing please personally end me because how do you write characters and a story so well-

holo eclipse with diffraction grating! 🌈🌙☀️💥✨

I decided to sacrifice an old camera for the eclipse and see and capture everything through the camera screen. I guess the clouds in Monterrey acted as a filter, preventing my sensor from burning out 🙈 lol

Stargate of Diffraction

Returning to the ideas and concepts of my oldest physics-inspired art - diffraction curves!

Diffraction of white light into rainbow colors gives me a chance to create something abstract that is close to what you you see. Something that shows both the beauty of the phenomenon and the beauty of the underlying math.

Intensity of diffracted light (of spectral colors) versus the position on the screen where the light would be captured (The left and right sides correspond to a diffraction angle of 75°)

I am overlaying sets of curves for a single slit and diffraction gratings with 2,3, or 4 slits. The single slit curve is enveloping them all.

The width and distance of the slits is changing periodically, width and distance with different frequencies. I get close to where the distance is just a little bit larger than the width.

Created with WebGL as a fragment shader - first time I created lines based on really calculating the normal distance from the direction of the line.

something that always helps me whenever i am feeling unmotivated or resentful towards my studies (mostly because of the toxicity surrounding the competitive nature of the exams i am preparing for) is pausing for a sec and wondering how exactly the particular concept came to be in front of me. how many nights did the Curies spend awake discussing the whys and hows of radioactivity? how exactly did Henry and Raoult think of solvents exerting pressure differently in different cases? did Franklin have to worry about fighting patriarchy besides working on her discovery? did Stefan/Boltzmann ever know we'd be able to calculate the temperature of the Sun? did they know their passion and their love for their respective subjects would be influencing millions of lives down the road? did they? and so i take another breath, mutter a thank you w my head up and continue.

X-ray diffraction enables measurement of in-situ ablation depth in aluminum

When laser energy is deposited in a target material, numerous complex processes take place at length and time scales that are too small to visually observe. To study and ultimately fine-tune such processes, researchers look to computer modeling. However, these simulations rely on accurate equation of state (EOS) models to describe the thermodynamic properties—such as pressure, density and temperature—of a target material under the extreme conditions generated by the intense heat of a laser pulse. One process that is insufficiently addressed in current EOS models is ablation, where the irradiation from the laser beam removes solid material from the target either by means of vaporization or plasma formation (the fourth state of matter). It is this mechanism that launches a shock into the material, ultimately resulting in the high densities required for high pressure experiments such as inertial confinement fusion (ICF).
