In-reply-to » @arne Joa, ’n Vierteljahr, dann biste durch, oder? 😂

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Wenn ich dran bleibe, vielleicht auf frĂŒher. Zum GlĂŒck kann ich die Seiten mit der Werbung fĂŒr die 5-Minuten-Terrine ĂŒberspringen.
Das stelle man sich mal vor: Damalsℱ gab es Werbung IN BĂŒchern - mitten im Fließtext und inhaltlich leicht eingearbeitet. Das ist mir aber bisher aber auch nur in der Buchreihe begegnet.

Time crystals could power future quantum computers
A glittering hunk of crystal gets its iridescence from a highly regular atomic structure. Frank Wilczek, the 2012 Nobel Laureate in Physics, proposed quantum systems––like groups of particles––could construct themselves in the same way, but in time instead of space. He dubbed such systems time crystals, defining them by their lowest possible energy state, which perpetually repeats movements without external energy input. Time crystals were experimentall

In-reply-to » Well, it sure has been a while since I last posted here. Just up late doing yet another Linux installation. Debian turned out to be about as stable as a plutonium Jenga tower, and Alpine refused to boot, so I gave it the boot. Here's to hoping that Arch fares better. Oddly, I've always found Arch to be considerably more stable than other distros...

@dce@hashnix.club Arch is the most stress-free OS I’ve ever run (I last reinstalled it 14 years ago, only rolling updates since then) – but to be honest, I sometimes wonder what role my general choice of software plays. I mostly run minimalistic software or programs that I wrote myself. I guess that greatly reduces the chance of breakage. đŸ€”

In-reply-to » There are so many insects this year. Flies, ants, bugs. This isn’t normal. It’s almost like the ecosystem is getting out of balance.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I haven’t noticed an increase in flies here, feels totally normal. Just a bit more fruit flies in the house with all the windfall gathering. It was worse the past years, though.

Engineers solve the sticky-cell problem in bioreactors and other industries
To help mitigate climate change, companies are using bioreactors to grow algae and other microorganisms that are hundreds of times more efficient at absorbing CO2 than trees. Meanwhile, in the pharmaceutical industry, cell culture is used to manufacture biologic drugs and other advanced treatments, including lifesaving gene and cell therapies. ⌘ Read more

Sniffer dogs tested in real-world scenarios reveal need for wider access to explosives
Dogs aren’t just our best friends, they’re also key allies in the fight against terrorism. Thousands of teams of explosive detection dogs and their handlers work 24/7 at airports, transit systems, cargo facilities, and public events around the globe to keep us safe. But canine detection is an art as well as a science: success depends not only on the skill of both dog and human, but also on their bond, and may vary

Generation of harmful slow electrons in water is a race between intermolecular energy decay and proton transfer
When high-energy radiation interacts with water in living organisms, it generates particles and slow-moving electrons that can subsequently damage critical molecules like DNA. Now, Professor Petr Slavíček and his bachelor’s student Jakub DubskĂœ from UCT Prague (University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague) have described in detail one of the key mechanisms for the creation

A rare variety of wheat with three ovaries—gene discovery could triple production
University of Maryland researchers discovered the gene that makes a rare form of wheat grow three ovaries per flower instead of one. Since each ovary can potentially develop into a grain of wheat, the gene could help farmers grow much more wheat per acre. Their work is published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. ⌘ Read more
