Wow, there's innovation in propeller shapes (which i thought we're close to optimal for a century): toroidal propellers https://newatlas.com/aircraft/toroidal-quiet-propellers/ >50% performance improvement at midrange rpms in liquids!
Full field #xray #fluorescence #imaging with a #fresnel zone plate #diffractive #optic!
A huge collection of very high-quality #physics, #mathematics and other #science#books from the Soviet-era Mir Publishers, available for #free #download here in the format of your choice. These are worth their weight in gold today. Their hardcover/paperback versions are next to impossible to find. They have some the best introductory, mid-level and reference #textbooks on various scientific topics that I've seen over my entire scientific career, written by some of the greatest Russian scientists and mathematicians. Check out in particular the Little Mathematics Library. Enjoy!

I like Kevin Drum's proposal to name the metric unit of "momentum" after #EmmyNoether
Emmy Noether is awesome and more people should know about her.

OK calc/complex analysis teachers, slip this puppy in to your next problem set and give your students a proper fright.

It's a biblically accurate integral.
There's gotta be a "biblically accurate angle" joke in this somehow...

@scattering_anomalously ah well, good luck in your quest for beam time!
@scattering_anomalously honestly, it will probably get more difficult for you, since there'll be more competition for beam time at other facilities over the next year.
I'm actually far less familiar with the structural biology beam lines at the APS, since I only used to work with hard x-rays. Which sector do you send your samples to, if I may ask?
@scattering_anomalously I was designing materials imaging experiments for the future synchrotron while I was at ANL. The upgrade plan envisions lots of exciting possibilities, particularly in crystal structure imaging, but realistically there will be a long way to go in terms of actual implementation, even after the APS-U sees first light.
#SpaceKaren talks like the #trump of the tech world: hastily arranged word salads that fall apart at the slightest scrutiny.

TIP OF THE DAY
Use and Follow #hashtags !!!
Mastodon has no ads, 500 chars, 5 pins, and edits, but the best thing is NO ALGORITHM. On the birdsite you are force-fed by an algorithm. A mishmash of your history, likes, follows and whatever Twitter wants to cram into you. With NO ALGORITHM, you are in control. Your feeds are just who and what you follow, and you can follow #hashtags .
Include #hashtags liberally so others can follow your ideas.
