OK, and now a puzzle/quiz for the #symmetry (point group) oriented people. What is the label you would associate to an object we are seeing, somewhere in the picture?
A clarification (?) for the non-magnetochemists: it's a popular arrangement for the first layer of atoms around the magnetic ion in lanthanide-based single ion magnets (LnSIMs). Popular because it was present in the first family of LnSIMs, and also because it's rather stable, chemically, so it's common.
Let’s take a look at the next installment from my visit to #SURF last week. After arriving at the Ross Campus, we walked from the end of the tram line to the first of the VERY large DUNE caverns. DUNE is the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment and will consist of huge neutrino detectors comprised from 17,000 tons of liquid argon. 800,000 tons of rock has been excavated to make the caverns.
THEY. ARE. HUGE.
Each is over 100m long.

Why does nature love spirals? Because Kenner's ad campaign, "Your eyes won't believe what your hands have done" really captured Nature's imagination. And it was bored on a rainy Saturday, and driving its Mother nuts
In #mathematics, it is no problem to represent infinity.
Sometimes it only works with/through the help of #infinity, such as the möbius loop.
➞ But here's my problem: there are counting rhymes for children,
as an example: Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, Catch a tiger by the toe...
➞ And for infinities? Are there ‘infinity rhymes’ and how would they work?
A first look at the #underground visit to the Sanford Underground Research Facility. We arrived early in the morning to gear up and then catch a 07:30 cage (elevator) to the 4850ft level. We then rode a tram on a rail line from the Yates Shaft and the “Davis Campus” of the lab over to the “Ross Campus”, where the DUNE (Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment) will be constructed.

People often try to visualize things like photons and subatomic particles, when it wouldn't be possible to do so. While they certainly exist, you can't bounce photons off of other photons or subatomic particles to see them. They don't have shape as we understand it.
"A curated selection of key pages from the notebooks will be launched online for the first time on the Royal Institution website on 24 March, to mark 200 years since Faraday founded the annual Royal Institution Christmas lectures."

Amazing!
How a young uneducated Michael Faraday became a world changing scientist and strove to help others be inspired the way that he had been himself.
And his detailed, intricately illustrated notebooks are going online shortly.

That's cool! ^.^
From the comments: This is useful during a cross country trip with a penny stove, when you only get 50% alcohol as fuel, which does not burn so good, so you can make it more % extracting the water with this method.

Scientists recall the discovery of the top quark 30 years ago at Fermilab. Bottom quark less fondly
Saturn now has 274 moons – but exactly what makes something a moon remains unclear https://theconversation.com/saturn-now-has-274-moons-but-exactly-what-makes-something-a-moon-remains-unclear-252033 #saturn #astronomy #moons #physics #science #STEM
This stunning image from the James Webb Space Telescope shows 50,000 sources of near-infrared light. The galaxies of Pandora’s Cluster act as a natural gravitational lens, magnifying distant galaxies from the early Universe. Some lensed sources, red in color and distorted, provide a glimpse into the past, stretching the very fabric of spacetime. A foreground star shows Webb’s unique diffraction spikes.
Wow, this sounds kind of exciting.
Steps towards creating a Thorium Nuclear Clock and using it to measure the Fine Structure Constant carefully enough to see if it is changing (there has been some evidence that it might not be truly constant). Which is a scary wild thought, actually.
I feel like there's a Doctor Who premise in here somewhere!
hey maths and physics nerds

Unlikely to ever be directly useful in practice, partly because the grating spacing and alignment is so touchy and the light modulator's resolution and speed would need to increase, partly because other methods are so effective.
Still very cool for the nerds!
