Here are 15 of my favorite Steve Jobs quotes 👇
1. The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.
2. Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.
3. You can't

Yes, this was actually written by my PhD adviser and it’s completely accurate when describing nuclei in a particular crystal system.

The mass of a fart is *roughly* 40g/mol (mostly CO2, a tiny bit of H2S and CH4 - those make it smell). The mass of a single COVID particle (virion) is *roughly* 40,000,000g/mol, about 125nm in diameter. This is why N95 masks work, yet you can still smell a fart.
Total banger of a thread, folks!!! I loooooove supercritical CO₂!! Fun fact: scCO₂ ≠ CO₂ because the “2” is wrong. It’s scCOₓ, where x ≥ 2 in extremely crazy molecular dynamics. This occurs at 85bar pressure but only 34°C!
What is Supercritical CO2?
You're about to learn of a technology that will change the world and how we generate energy.
It's not quite a liquid and not quite a gas, but it's all Miracle!
Get ready: We're going deep on this one…

In roughly 16 years, France built a whopping 50+ nuclear reactors, back in the 1970s-80s. They’ve benefited from that bold move for DECADES.
#belikefrance
@KiraTaylor15
France invented deep decarbonization before it was a thing. Be like France. Imagine believing that offsetting fission reactors with unRenewable and unReliable wind & solar is a good policy
France is “capitalizing” on this massive opportunity. That odd sucking sound you hear is all the billions of € France WILL be pulling from Germany for decades.
#Energiewende
#alptraum
France is set to build eight new nuclear plants on top of six already announced, the energy minister has said, arguing more reactors are needed to hit carbon reduction targets.

Great question! Without arrest and imprisonment in the jail underneath the Capitol, in the Trumpian era, Congressional subpoenas are about as valuable as cocktail napkins or beer deckels: rest your drink on it, then throw it away.

If her assertion is accurate and supportable by iron-clad evidence, then DeSantis should be immediately arrested - instantly.
I am suuuuper proud to be a part of this project. In our book, we break down all of the facts about nuclear: the physics, the history and yes, the myths. 😃
True story: in grad school, I rewired the entire breaker box in one of the NMR labs so we could add 3 MAS NMR amplifiers ($100k of equipment) - 3-phase 208. We got an estimate that it would take maintenance 11 months to do it. My awesome colleague, Nicole, and I did it in 2 days.
The Kafkaesque bureaucracy that scientists have to suffer makes me wonder: does it really have to be like this?
I have a dream. If I may paraphrase the late Richard Ernst, to launch the bureaucrats into the nearest black hole and "liberate academia forever of this pestilence".

It floored me - on the floor - when I first read about that horror in NYC’s now defunct Village Voice - I was 14. I vowed I would support a woman’s right to choose for the rest of my life right then.
@Dr_Keefer
Remarkable story, Chris. I’m sure you already know this, but the joint analyses conducted on skeletal remains have unequivocally demonstrated disproportionate wear and tear on knees, shoulders, elbows, etc. There was NOTHING easy about life back then.
Fact check: TRUE! Even crazier: the valence electrons in actinide elements like thorium and uranium are relativistic, and force up to a 10% CONTRACTION of the orbitals. 😳

Michael - here, Zhu, et al., explicitly describe their synthesis, which is fundamentally different from the Lee, et al., paper. I don’t have a horse in this race; I just want to see good science, so I’m not sure how you missed this fundamental, fatal difference in the synths.

It’s quite interesting. What Biden said to the boy during the clip is correct - the stutterer’s cognitive brain simply moves faster than the parts that control speech. It’s that simple. So, they generally are, in fact, smarter than most of us dolts.

The Framatome workshops for the construction of the reactor pressure vessels in Le Creusot in the middle of the "golden age" of the French nuclear program. To get an idea of its scope, in 1981 there were 26 reactors !!! in various stages of construction.
I have absolutely no answer for this, other than building MSRs as quickly as humanly possible.
The melting Arctic is a crime scene: Microbes have long warned us of this catastrophe, but they are also driving it.

I suggest you read the entire article to see the unscrupulous maneuvering that their general manager, Connie May, pulled with neither their knowledge, nor consent. Then you’ll understand their righteous fury. They’re individuals and they’re a team, not pawns.
An absolutely fascinating, rare, real-time example of electron radical transition. The blue is due to an electron being briefly promoted into a non-bonding, atomic orbital, then dropping back down during oxidation.

In the province of East Java, Indonesia, the gigantic Kawah Ijen volcanic complex stretches over 22 km.
But it is more known for its "blue lava", arising from the burning of sulphur released from the earth.

I don’t know how you came to this conclusion. As someone who worked for a FR company (SFA) and has been to FR many times, even mediocre French cuisine is better than most US cuisine: fresh ingredients are MUCH more accessible in FR, due to embedded farm-to-table supply chains.

I don’t understand, Joni; one of the 1st things you study in UNDERgrad biochem is feedback loops. There are hundreds of thousands in bacteria, fungi, mammals, etc. This one is perceived as romantic b/z it involves breast milk, but remove human subjectivity &: just another loop.

Yep - guilty. I tolerated her physically assaulting me; she was drunk every single night. I cooked dinner for her kids every night; bought groceries every day. I was an idiot. I hate being alone, but it’s better this way.
If you can stomach the vitriol, this is very much a worthwhile read. It exactly lays out what the far right want: a “friendlier Nazi Germany” (yes, that’s a quote from this excellent article).
I held a single one of these detectors in my hands - easily 7kg - each one is a remarkable piece of engineering. These experiments have been a glimpse into one of the rare examples of transcendent beauty produced by mankind.

Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) has a Moh’s of 9, Brian. I’d bet anything they used raw latex with hemp paper and bauxite or kaolinite as the abrasive. Then, cured and sun dried and cured again. Kaolinite can be found in many places, like Yemen.

There’s no waste, because 100% of the partially spent nuclear fuel (PSNF) can be recycled - all of it. As Randall just indicated, beta batteries should be deployed EVERYWHERE there’s a need for remote ops.

96% of all alpha radiation damage comes from Coulombic forces and not the ballistics!!! So, your DNA gets ionized because you have a +2 charge sailing past it, not into it.

Hopefully it’s not evidentiary of your comment, but he *has* fired three serious players for nuclear, electricity and natural gas in the last week alone:

& exhaustively proven over the decades. We wrote about it in our book! Fun fact: Muller used >1,000,000x the fatal radiation dosage to “prove” his point. This was *before* we knew about mitosis, meiosis, PMAT, S-phase, pX3 repair pathways!
"The phenomenon known as Radiation Hormesis suggests that low doses of radiation may not only be harmless but could potentially have therapeutic effects."
