We also have some interesting lattice dynamics!

A demonstration of the conservation of angular momentum using a Hoberman sphere. Angular momentum depends on the rotational velocity of an object, and on its rotational inertia. When an object changes its shape, its angular velocity will also change.

Remember that video about how block collisions can compute the digits of pi? A friend, Adam Brown, just showed that the math underlying this is actually identical to the math behind a very famous quantum search algorithm (Grover's): arxiv.org/abs/1912.02207 Genuinely crazy!

13. Physicists laugh a lot ... Theirs are the ultimate inside jokes, which are often not obviously funny. But laugh along anyway — even if you don’t find the humour, they won’t know the difference. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Fun fact, this is the number of milliseconds in a day.

Hydrogen wavefunctions transitioning between states with different quantum numbers 𝒏,𝒍,𝒎. ⚛️ Each transition shows a state α|𝒏𝒍𝒎⟩+β|𝒏'𝒍'𝒎'⟩, where α decreases and β increases. Dots represent the values of 𝒏𝒍𝒎, and the solid lines show possible allowed values.

My 15 year old nephew just told me that he is studying for 23 GCSE exams. I can’t believe that was me 12 years ago, now I can barely focus on reading one paper without getting distracted. OpenAcademics Academic Chatter™ #academictwitter
