Usually, glass of various properties is made by differential melting through heating. A team led by scientists from the University of Padua used DESY’s PETRA III light source to melt glass using X-rays without changing its temperature. But they found something out of this world: the atoms in the irradiated glass jump much like cosmic particles in outer space. Results in @PNASNews. https://www.desy.de/news/news_search/index_eng.html?openDirectAnchor=2530&two_columns=0

I've been always fascinated by vacuum tubes, and this person actually builds triodes from scratch (complete with glassworkd) and constructs an amplifier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UEfqAWb3fE

Today’s social media status quo isn’t cutting it, so Mozilla is exploring an alternative here on Mastodon. In early 2023, Mozilla will be testing a publicly accessible instance in the Fediverse at Mozilla.Social. We will keep you updated, but for now learn more here: mzl.la/3BNXQMQ

Admittedly, these days #mastodons have a very special place in our hearts😉 🥰, so this new research really speaks to us! The oldest #DNA ever recovered, from permafrost in Greenland, has revealed that the elephant-like creatures roamed northern #Greenland 2 million years ago. Now a barren polar desert, the area apparently used to be a lush landscape of trees & home to a diverse flora & fauna. 🤗 *Go mastodons, go!* 🐘 😉 https://nature.com/articles/d41586-022-04377-x

Solid mercury became the first known superconductor in 1911, when the physicist Heike Kammerlingh Onnes cooled the element to liquid helium temperatures. While mercury was later classed as a conventional superconductor, its behaviour was never fully explained, nor was its critical temperature predicted from first-principles #theory – until now. #physics #superconductivity #HistoryOfScience

A historic moment for the citizens of #Bosnia and Herzegovina!

Bosnia and Herzegovina was granted candidate status to become part of the EU.

We, the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) are the largest research institute in the world specializing in general relativity and beyond. Our institute is located in Potsdam and in Hannover where it closely collaborates with the Leibniz Universität Hannover. #introduction

Happy to be on #Mastodon! here is a short #introduction : I will be mostly tweeting (ehm, posting) about quantum physics, machine learning, and quantum computing. I will occasionally post conference announcements, open-source releases from our community, job opportunities to join my research group (CQSL) at #EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland, and more!

Wow, so the elongated musk actually decided to block mastodon on twitter. Take that "freedom of speech"!
