Massive congrats to Arjun & Raj Pandya on this heroic effort (and thanks for letting us join for a tiny part of the journey) now out in nature ! We found optically-active magnetic edges in phosphorene nanoribbons, promising for #quantum #electronics nature.com/articles/s4158…

Fantastic news for all. You will bring great visit and steady hand to this job. SLAC will be fortunate to have you.

Let the data speak! - Administrative bloat. I think ncsu and academia in general would should similar trends, with no reversal in sight yet. This is not sustainable and the wheels will come off eventually.

Huh. 🤪 I am sure it does wonders for the trust in the integrity of science if the reality of the science-government-media complex is more nefarious than a Netflix thriller series.

The greatest DOGE ad you’ll ever see. Jon Stewart finding out how the Biden Administration spent $42 Billion to expand broadband to more Americans, and connected ZERO (0) homes in 4 years.

Filing this under "you get what you incentivize". The modern pension system is an intergenerational contract with a dark underbelly. Sustainable? Nah..

Very interesting tidbit about the metaphysics of postmodernists. I don't think we have realized yet how corrosive "social constructivism" has been. Politics is downstream of culture and culture is downstream of metaphysics (& epistemology and ethics) .

A lot of the confusion goes away if we were to say objects are "waves when they propagate" and "particles when they interact". No mysticism. One behavior at a time, totally conditioned on the actions. NO confusion with standard everyday concepts. Clarity.

Oh. I see.Descriptons are just socially constructed. - seems like a lay-up for the postmodernists. No wonder the world is fracturing.

Let the data speak!! Good or bad. Data is. Facts are. Quantitation is required to properly inform any debatte.

Oh boy. Integrity in Science, sliding for a long time. Just another example 👇 how we have become politicized and don't just stand for "truth", that is data, logic, and debatte. Let the chips fall where they may be. Science = data, logic, debate/verification. Simple, realy.

Let the data speak. Kinda myth-busting about the importance of socio-ecomomc barriers.

When did the situation turn so dark? 🙄🤪

Justin (Dr. Neu!) published another interesting paper that used HSP to tune the solubility of conjugated polymers. More in the pipeline! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Indeed. The world is. Data is. Metaphysics matters. You need a bit of telos, but descriptive nomocracy beats normative teleocracy any day. We got a bit confused for the last 60 years and had too much and the wrong telos. Reality/nature matters, despite what postmodernists say.

god i love capitalism

The misunderstanding that stands in the way of progress in the foundations of physics: Believing that two entangled particles are physically linked. Fact is: If you have two entangled particles and you do something to one of them, what happens to the other particle is: Nothing.

this is a recurring bit across publications show a massive reading gap and a much smaller math gap the other way, then talk about how the math gap is a problem
