2/100 Days✨

Date: 22nd September, 2024

💤: Woke up at 8:30 am.

🍲: Puri bhaji for breakfast

📖: Sat down to study at 10:30.

It takes a lot of time to write notes🥲🫠, I spent nearly 3 hours on that.

Completed another 2 hours of the oneshot lecture.

Chemistry 🧪-Concepts studied: Dual nature of matter, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, Quantum Mechanical model and Quantum numbers.

I couldn't study any other subject🥲 I'll try to do that tomorrow.

Hello! I just wanted to say that your new peoject Astronought is such an awesome and well-made game! Atom is just so so adorable omg, they are such a cutie patootie

Anyway here is my question! So, I’m guessing the reason the ship got damaged in its rear was because of Atom, right? But, like… can I ask how they managed to do that? Did they turn into a massive ball and shoot themselves down in an incomprehensible speed like a meteor or something?

I'm so sorry but that is literally what happened,,,

It literally came in like a wrecking ball. //lyr ref

Atom Eve next season needs less time as Mark’s therapist and more time going balls to wall w/ her OP powers!!!! I’m tired of this green lantern object generation, have her turn the air in a viltrumite’s lungs into mayonnaise!!!!!!!

The fact that this page made me nearly tear up speaks of the level of character writing of Berserk

Farnese went from sadistically enjoying making people under herself suffer to feel a shred of power in her life, to panicking and rushing to protect the most vulnerable person that could be entrusted in her care, not for herself but because Casca needs to be cared for. And you get to see the evolution, what makes her question herself and the root of her beliefs, the guilt and sense of worthlessness that she carries with her and desperately wants to overcome.

What a wonderful character :)

psst... the only reason atom eve is not stronger than invincible is bc of patriarchal storytelling... the man at the forefront of the narrative can not be weaker than his counterparts, let alone his female ones...

Predicting atomic structures proves useful in energy and sustainability

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have developed a new approach that combines generative artificial intelligence (AI) and first-principles simulations to predict three-dimensional atomic structures of highly complex materials. This research highlights LLNL's efforts in advancing machine learning for materials science research and supporting the Lab's mission to develop innovative technological solutions for energy and sustainability. The study, recently published in Machine Learning: Science and Technology, represents a potential leap forward in the application of AI for materials characterization and inverse design. The approach uses X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy. Accurately determining atomic structures from spectroscopic data has long posed a challenge, particularly for complex systems, such as shapeless materials.

Ok so spoilers for the invincible atom eve special

love how her whole storyline is about how she's weird and not normal and then they make her the NORMALEST girl possible, like how do they make her THAT autistic as a child and then have her?? grow? out of it??? how do you fumble a neurodivergency allegory that hard??

"oh how i love chemistry 😍"

Wordplay Wednesday: Tetrahedral

Quartz has a tetrahedral structure. In fact, it has a perfect three-dimensional framework. That is why it is called a framework or tectosilicate like feldspar.

Here's a close-up of how these tetrahedra would interconnect. Each oxygen is shared between two tetrahedra.

Altogether, it would make this shape. And we see this shape with the naked eye.

Research on atomic nuclei and radioactivity -

The atomic nucleus serves as the very core of each atom, comprising positively charged protons and electrically neutral neutrons. The atomic number, which is determined by the number of protons, ultimately defines the element in question. It is when the nucleus becomes unstable that we witness the phenomenon of radioactive decay. Through this process, unstable nuclei emit ionising radiation—manifesting as alpha, beta, or gamma particles—each possessing unique characteristics in terms of their ionising capabilities and penetrating power.

Radioactive decay leads to a transformation in the nucleus, resulting in the conversion of one element into another, a process known as nuclear transmutation. The rate of this decay is governed by a probabilistic rule, encapsulated in the concept of the half-life, which quantifies the time required for half of a given sample of radioactive material to undergo decay. Such a process is inherently statistical, with each individual nucleus exhibiting random behaviour, though large quantities of atoms permit predictions regarding the overall decay rate.

Detection of this radiation is accomplished through various means: for instance, the use of cloud chambers, which render visible the paths of charged particles; photographic plates, which darken upon exposure to radiation; or ionisation chambers, which detect the ionisation of air molecules caused by incoming radiation. The extent of radiation protection required varies based on the type of radiation: alpha particles, for example, can be stopped by a mere sheet of paper, while beta particles necessitate materials such as aluminium for shielding. Gamma rays, with their high penetration power, require more substantial shielding, often involving dense materials such as lead or thick concrete.

Radioactivity, though a natural phenomenon, also holds immense practical utility across various domains. In medicine, it aids in diagnostic imaging and targeted treatments, while in archaeology, it provides techniques such as carbon dating to determine the age of ancient artefacts. Furthermore, it is harnessed in the generation of energy through controlled nuclear fission. However, the inherent dangers posed by ionising radiation demand a rigorous understanding of radiological protection and safety, ensuring that human exposure is minimised.

molecular geometry my sweetheart my baby. electron orbitals kill yourself.

A good structure is something you can trust.

It relieves you from the burden of remembering and keeping track of everything. If you can trust the system, you can let go of the attempt to hold everything together in your head and you can start focusing on what is important: The content, the argument and the ideas. By breaking down the amorphous task of “writing a paper” into small and clearly separated tasks, you can focus on one thing at a time, complete each in one go and move on to the next one . A good structure enables flow, the state in which you get so completely immersed in your work that you lose track of time and can just keep on going as the work becomes effortless (Csikszentmihalyi, 1975). Something like that does not happen by chance.

A new microscopy method has allowed researchers to detect tiny changes in the atomic-level architecture of crystalline materials -- like advanced steels for ship hulls and custom silicon for electronics. The technique could advance our ability to understand the fundamental origins of materials properties and behaviour. In a paper published today in Nature Materials, researchers from the University of Sydney's School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering introduced a new way to decode the atomic relationships within materials. The breakthrough could assist in the development of stronger and lighter alloys for the aerospace industry, new generation semiconductors for electronics, and improved magnets for electric motors. It could also enable the creation of sustainable, efficient and cost-effective products.
