Now that a group at MIT has proved that “magic angles” can produce #superconductivity in carbon sheets, physicists are trying to apply the twistronics approach to other configurations of graphene.

Vikram Samvat and also known as the Vikrami calendar, is the historical Hindu calendar on the Indian subcontinent. The #VikramSamvat was started after the death of righteous King Vikramjeet Pawar of #Ujjain. It is named after him. It is the official calendar of #Nepal. In India it is used in several states.[1][2] The calendar uses lunar months and solar sidereal years.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikram_Samvat
The Vikram Samvat has been used by #Hindus and #Sikhs.[10] One of several regional Hindu calendars in use on the Indian subcontinent, it is based on twelve synodic lunar months and 365 solar days.[10][11] The lunar year begins with the new moon of the month of Chaitra.[12] This day, known as Chaitra Sukhladi, is a restricted holiday in India.[13]
The calendar remains in use by #Hindus in Nepal and north, west and central #India.[3] In south India and portions of east and west India (such as #Assam, #WestBengal and #Gujarat), the Indian national calendar is widely used.[14]

#Тайский солнечный календарь — официальный и наиболее распространённый календарь в #Таиланд'е. 🇹🇭
Он был введён #Чулалонгкорн'ом в 1888 году, заменив тайский лунный календарь.

Perception -- the conscious perception of sensory inputs, the conscious appreciation of sensory inputs -- depends entirely on the forebrain.
The conscious appreciation of sensory inputs depends on the cerebral cortex.
Homeostasis is a distributed process, which depends on forebrain, brain stem and spinal chord.
The contribution of forebrain to homeostasis is hormonal. The contribution of brain stem is through autonomic changes (changes we are not consciously in control of) as well as through consciously made movements.
Same is true for spinal chord.
Higher Abstract Functions depend entirely on forebrain.
There's only one type of neurons that leaves the central nervous system (CNS) and goes directly to muscles, and that's the motor neuron.
There are a hundred thousand out of 200B neurons in the CNS.
The motor neurons are contained either in the brain stem or in the spinal chord. But, there are no motor neurons in the forebrain.
The good news: Just as a collapse in one part of an ecosystem can ripple out, lifting the health of a species or community could also benefit the whole. https://t.co/fVLRXwgsfA

So, I recently got interested in neuroscience and decided to learn more. Having had no formal training in neurobiology before, I just registered for this course on Coursera.
