hmmm stuck in a little cycle of "i dont want to point out or pay to fix problems in my room/area of the house because ill be moving out any time now" cope and "ill never be able to move out if i dont get these things fixed bc they are actively harming me and my workflow"

No offense to op or anything but u guys sound like my mom trying to convince me that arranged marriage isn't so bad when I was in middle school lol

Actually it's even worse bc my parents were actually sympathetic to the girlboss argument. By which I mean the "I want autonomy over my life" argument

[nando161mando]

It's a cycle that never ends

@bruhstation hey i think your gordon is very bbg material so have my offering, also do you think he knows how to do the thug shake . or the horrors

the epic highs (finally done with summer, the worst season) and lows (forgot that i spend 3 months constantly cold) of winter

I have been in Nice for the past two days which is Amazing but what do the french have against a working wifi connection

fuck em up jérôme!!!! fuck em up!!!

you ever read a book and look at the fandom and think “wow so I am the only one who understood this correctly”

i'm writing explanations for their arcana assignments, too, because i felt the need to justify dogeon as the lovers and just decided to do that for all of them.

theres such insane lunch tech for little kids now its awesome. back in my day we were happy to have plastic bags that had closures on them

A city in Germany made thermally insulated pods for homeless people to sleep in.

Understanding the Three Classes of Electrical Insulating Mats Electrical insulating mats play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of individuals working with electrical equipment. These mats are designed to provide insulation and protection against electric shocks in various industrial and commercial settings. In technical specifications, such

What Are 2D Materials, and Why Do They Interest Scientists? - Technology Org

If you’ve read any stories about quantum research lately, in Columbia News or elsewhere, you may have heard the term 2D or two-dimensional materials.

An illustration of the atomic structure of graphene, a form of ultra-strong 2D carbon.

In January, Columbia chemists published a study about the first 2D heavy fermion, a class of material with very heavy electrons. In November, the Engineering school published a story on “Laser-Driving a 2D Material.” And earlier last year, researchers found both superconductivity and ferroelectricity in the same 2D material. The list goes on.

So, what are 2D materials and why are scientists so interested?

Two-dimensional materials are just what they sound like: Materials that are just 1 or 2 atoms thick but wider in every other direction. Often the 2D materials scientists are working with are a few square micrometers large– invisible to the naked eye, but visible with the kind of microscope you might have used in high school science classes. The 2D materials that scientists are working with are a mix of naturally occurring materials, like graphene, a form of ultra-strong carbon discovered at Columbia in 2004, and materials synthesized in labs, like CeSil, a crystal first assembled at Columbia last year, composed of cerium, silicon, and iodine. These materials usually begin as three-dimensional, and scientists peel them down to two dimensions to run experiments on them and find out what physical properties, like superconductivity or magnetism, might emerge when the materials are atom-flat. Scientists are working on developing new ways to make 2D materials from scratch, without needing to peel them down from 3D, but the quality of these is still imperfect.

Many things make 2D materials interesting but a primary one is that they confine the ways that particles like electrons can move within them. Columbia Chemist Xavier Roy used a traffic analogy to explain:

“Think of it like this: If we had flying cars that could travel in three-dimensional space, we would be able to reduce most of the traffic in New York. But since our current cars can only travel in two-dimensions, we end up with huge traffic jams in Times Square,” Roy said in a recent interview.

“The same thing happens for electrons when we move from 3D to 2D, but in our case, ‘traffic’ between electrons is beneficial! As these electron-electron interactions become stronger, we can completely change the properties of a material. For example, as the thickness of 3D heavy fermion materials is reduced (i.e. as they become more 2D), they can transition from being magnetic to superconducting.”

Two-dimensional materials can also be relatively easily tweaked: Stacking them with slight angles between the layers, applying forces like electric fields and magnetic fields, and straining the materials by twisting or applying pressure to them can change their properties. Take just one example: By simply stacking two sheets of a material called tungsten diselenide on top of each other, twisting them, and adding or removing electric charge, the material can switch from an electricity-conducting metal to an electricity-blocking insulator and back again.

Scientists are also excited by 2D materials’ potential uses in technology, which scientists often refer to as “applications.”

Two-dimensional materials will likely play a vital role in the next generation of electronics, including still-under-development quantum computers. Why? In large part, because 2D materials are ultra-small with unique, controllable properties (like superconductivity), and technology is always on the hunt for something that can achieve results more quickly, more efficiently, and using less space.

I like to think that one of the lessons Aizawa taught class A is "always have a knife".

You never know when you'll need a knife so never not be in possession of a knife. As such every member of class A has a knife hidden somewhere in their hero costumes. His gift to them when they graduated were custom engraved knives with their student number on them.

Not on board? Ok. Just imagine how funny it would be tho.

Villain: "Number one hero Deku! I am punch proof! The more you hit me the stronger I get! How will you defeat me now-"

Midoriya: "Knife."

Villain: "Wha-" *gets stabbed*

Midoriya: "Knife."

Hero: "Oh no! We're tied up! However will we escape!"

Tsuyu: "Knife."

Hero: "What?"

Tsuyu, pulling a knife off the bottom of her foot with her tongue: "Knife."

Groupie getting a hug: "Are you using your quirk or are you just happy to see me?"

Kirishima: "It's a knife."

Groupie: "...What?"

Kirishima: "Knife."

Villain, completely insulated in rubber: "You're a one trick pony chargebolt."

Kaminari, reaching down into his boot: "Oh boy are you wrong my dude!"

Hero: "You need to calm down."

Bakugou, reaching down into his V-neck: "Listen here you son of a BITCH-"

Hero: "WHY DO YOU HAVE A KNIFE!?"

Kouda: "Stop scaring the pigeons! They're a domesticated species that we abandoned back into the wild. They're sweet creatures who are pets by nature!"

Douchebag: "Or what?"

Kouda: "..."

Douchebag: "..."

Kouda: "..."

Douchebag: "oh my GOD HE HAS A KNIFE-"
