Segre's anti-proton experiment, counting area, Tom Elioff. Photograph taken April 17, 1959. Bevatron-1783
Record Group 434: General Records of the Department of EnergySeries: Photographs Documenting Scientists, Special Events, and Nuclear Research Facilities, Instruments, and Projects at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
This black and white photograph shows two men in a room of 1950’s computer equipment, with many dials and cables everywhere. One man is standing and appears to be adjusting the equipment, while the other is sitting at a desk looking at a large binder and making notes.

Electric fields boost graphene's potential, study shows
Researchers at the National Graphene Institute have made a discovery that could revolutionize energy harnessing and information computing. Their study, published in Nature, reveals how electric field effects can selectively accelerate coupled electrochemical processes in graphene.
Electrochemical processes are essential in renewable energy technologies like batteries, fuel cells, and electrolyzers. However, their efficiency is often hindered by slow reactions and unwanted side effects. Traditional approaches have focused on new materials, yet significant challenges remain.
The Manchester team, led by Dr. Marcelo Lozada-Hidalgo, has taken a novel approach. They have successfully decoupled the inseparable link between charge and electric field within graphene electrodes, enabling unprecedented control over electrochemical processes in this material. The breakthrough challenges previous assumptions and opens new avenues for energy technologies.

" For the first time, scientists at the University of Sydney and the University of Basel in Switzerland have demonstrated the ability to manipulate and identify small numbers of interacting photons – packets of light energy – with high correlation.
This unprecedented achievement represents an important landmark in the development of quantum technologies. Details of the research were published on March 20 in the journal Nature Physics.

Imagine being an electron.
You yearn for company of your own kind, you want it, but you still repel them. You will never feel your own. Opposites attract, yes that’s true, but do you ever think they want to share their feelings. Do you think they want to touch do you think their existence is cruel and heartless for they will never be with their own

“If humans ever gained the ability to add and remove protons, neutrons and electrons from atoms at will, we'd all be doomed.
Imagine creating atoms of gold from the air.
Glad only I have that ability. No plans to drain all of the air from the planet...... yet.”

I thought I understood the illusory nature of matter: that forms were different vibratory fields like the sum of the dots in a newspaper photo or the fickle relationship between consenting protons and electrons.
But I keep walking into walls, hoping to find a hole in the molecules, a rift in the curtain.
I'm a discorporeal wannabe, an optimistic non-local shotgun blast of hope.
