What's this "transit method" that the #ESA #PLATOmission team will be using to detect extrasolar planets? Experience transits firsthand in our pendulum experiment that models how a planet passes in front of its star and changes the brightness that we can observe, as René Hel…

Electric-field control of zero-dimensional topological states in ultranarrow germanene nanoribbons
Symmetry-protected zero-dimensional (0D) modes, such as corner and end states with fractionalized charge, promise robust qubits and efficient electronics. Yet, reversible, electric-field manipulation and control of these modes has remained elusive. Here, we show theoretically and experimentally electric-field-driven on/off switching of 0D topological end modes in two- and three-hexagon wide germanene nanoribbons in a vertical tunnel junction set-up. We demonstrate the annihilation and restorati…

The amount of pointless, useless, overly-complex indirection I see in so many well-established, popular projects makes me very sad.
Except when I am trying to debug it; then it makes me very angry.

Am Complexity Science Hub in Wien wird errechnet, wie Pendelzeiten für alle Verkehrsteilnehmer durch andere Ampelschaltungen verkürzt werden könnten«
Dies kann sicherlich sich auch für Radfahrer oder Fußgänger sich lohnen. Ist es 1-zu-1 auch für andere Städte oder gar für Vor- so wie Kleinstädte und/oder ländliche Umgebung umsetzbar?

AI Use at Work Has Nearly Doubled in Two Years
White-collar workers and leaders are the primary users. Leaders can further drive AI adoption by clearly communicating why and how to use it.

Still rocking this for my #WristCheck. I actually really like this one.
On the one hand there is a lot going on on that dial bit it remains readable and everything present serves a purpose. No extraneous text* or logos, so while it is busy, it's also clean.

A Quantum Mechanical Pendulum Clock
We investigate an optomechanical system as a model of an autonomous mechanical pendulum clock in the quantum regime, whose operation relies only on incoherent (thermal) resources. The escapement of the clock, the mechanism that translates oscillatory motion into ticks, is provided by an emitter in the optical cavity and the operation of the clock relies on the existence of a limit cycle. Since the clock is based on an oscillatory degree of freedom, it can overcome the thermodynamic uncertainty …
