These things are interesting but for the most part quite dull and very industry-facing. Just mash together a bunch of random elements and see if it improves the thing you want to o…

Which gene gives me a tutor to support me at the most critical point in my intellectual development?

The kids at private schools are specifically primed for every part of the application process, including the interview and interview questions in a way that state schools simply ca…

Honestly, when it comes to hacking things together with matplotlib I outsource all of my thinking to chatgpt to do the 80% of doc hunting that is honestly not worth it since everyt…

More to the point, when you write an article like this foretelling the doom of the american economy, why would you think you are able to brain drain any country? What stops the cou…

This is not really as simple as just going through the permutations. What this is in practice is a triumph of instrumentation. Before this, no one has imaged altermagnetic domain s…

To add a bit more to this, it's really a new class of magnetism. Traditionally we might think of ordered magnetic materials as being one of two: ferromagnets, which is what you thi…

Ultimately they still live in the country. They have ties to it. Their assets and wealth may be tied up in the country which is difficult to extricate. And, most importantly, their…

I admit to not really being familiar with either, but it seems that this allows you to display comments alongside the paper in the browser, which is a very nice feature (and overal…

waste plastic can be recycled into waste graphene

Transparency I assume. I understand the admin likes free speech and maintains some transparency, to explain why content has been removed, and giving away your information is always…

The operator of the kiwifarms is himself a US citizen with a US business. It is an advertised fact that if a police force comes after or shuts him down with a legal reason, it will…

You absolutely can, and as you can see in this paper it is absolutely do-able to measure the resistance of these materials. They measure an insulator with something on the order of…

There are measurement configurations that can be used to eliminate contact resistance (such as a van der Pauw measurement). Resistance, and electrical measurement in general, is th…

Groups that typically do resistivity measurements on regularly measure low-temperature resistivities on conducting materials of ~ 10s of micro Ohm m. So if you're measuring in this…

Something that I find hard to understand is why there is superconductivity without cooper pairs; granted my understanding is related to more traditional superconductors and I'm not…

Can we stop promoting this ateapie loonie. Every post they made is so thick with narrative it is completely divorced from reality.

Not necessarily true. Complex compounds can be susceptible to oxidisation and generally decay and degrade over time.

Compared to recent controversial results claiming the exact same thing (actually, more restrictive than this claim), it's not insulting it is what you should expect. The recent sit…

Glad to see a realistic take on HN. Endlessly frustrating to see people be like "this will be replicated in days". Yeah, sure, let every other lab just drop what they're doing, ord…

As I mentioned in my above post, they have really dodgy data. Ideally, with something like this, you would have collaborators to verify alongside you as joint co-authors. I think s…

0.3 T is pretty insignificant for everyday use - you need some pretty big coils carrying around 10 A to produce that sort of field. For something like this, the benefit would be in…

Agreed, this looks bogus. Some suspicious points: In the first paper, they claim to measure zero resistance (on a scale of microvolts), but are very careful not to show full RvT cu…

Consider you are another researcher (not the one who has just published). You may want to keep up to date with your field. This is good to do and it helps foster new ideas for now …
