disappointing thread on #twitter (which I won't link to) of several scientists saying they can't be bothered joining mastodon because it's too much effort to follow two services...this is an incredibly blinkered view of what is happening here.

Over at the facility in Hannover we could use a hand for commencing operations of the 10m baseline! Please check out the newly opened position here:

If you squint your eyes this frequency comb is half integrated into the MAIUS-A payload

In other news, I think I have filled 5GB of RAM with an infinite appointment and can't use anymore

I need you to cancel *all* other appointments, we're gonna have to talk about

An object is said to be "chiral" if you can't superimpose it with its mirror image (e.g. your hands).
Chiral molecules can have completely different chemical properties from their mirror image, but they also have different optical properties (which helps to detect them). In particular they react very differently to a circularly polarized wave. We can get some intuition on why that happens using a "balls and springs" toy model (Born-Kuhn model).

I've definitely used and still use this technique as a first pass on data to see if it's looking like we have something interesting going on. Works better now laptop screens are visible from wider angles.
