Sikorsky revealed plans to build, test and fly a
large-scale hybrid-electric vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) tilt-wing demonstrator.
Dubbed HEX (for “hybrid-electric”), the project is expected to be the first of a series of large, next-gen VTOLs featuring varying degrees of electrification and advanced autonomy technology
“for optionally-piloted flight,” Sikorsky said in a statement.
The HEX program, part of Sikorsky’s Innovations prototyping group founded in 2010…

Hybrid Base Complex: Extract and Visualize Structure of Hex-dominant Meshes
Hex-dominant mesh generation has received significant attention in recent research due to its superior robustness compared to pure hex-mesh generation techniques. In this work, we introduce the first structure for analyzing hex-dominant meshes. This structure builds on the base complex of pure hex-meshes but incorporates the non-hex elements for a more comprehensive and complete representation. We provide its definition and describe its construction steps. Based on this structure, we present an…

Dimarzio Cruisers
I have a 2008 Roland Ready Stratocaster. It came with three ceramic single coil pickups and a hex pickup for use with a guitar synth. At the time I was playing a Roland GR-20 at a coffee house gig. I quickly replaced the stock pickups with a Tonerider Pure Vintage set. Those are very nice vintage sounding pickups. They stayed in there for 16 years.

Benchtop organizational idea - has anyone done this before?
Little 3D printed plastic feet with a threaded hex standoff press-fit into it. Attach the foot to your bench with command strips or double sided tape, then screw DUT into it.
When you need to move the board to solder to it etc, just remove the screws, lift it off, then put it back in when you're done.
Board is held firmly in place without needing to tape it down by the corners like I do now.
Good idea? Ba…

Confinement in the Transverse Field Ising model on the Heavy Hex lattice
We study the emergence of confinement in the transverse field Ising model on a decorated hexagonal lattice. Using an infinite tensor network state optimised with belief propagation we show how a quench from a broken symmetry state leads to striking nonthermal behaviour underpinned by persistent oscillations and saturation of the entanglement entropy. We explain this phenomenon by constructing a minimal model based on the confinement of elementary excitations, which take the form of various flav…

HEX: High-pressure Elemental Xstals, a complete Database
This paper introduces the HEX (High-pressure Elemental Xstals) database, a complete database of the ground-state crystal structures of the first 57 elements of the periodic table, from H to La, at 0, 100, 200 and 300 GPa. HEX aims to provide a unified reference for high-pressure research, by compiling all available experimental information on elements at high pressure, and complementing it with the results of accurate evolutionary crystal structure prediction runs based on Density Functional Th…

I'm not a prescriptivist but it does make me sad when a word's finer meaning is lost. It seems to have been generally forgotten that replica specifically means a copy or reconstruction made by the original artist. If it was by anyone else, then it's just a facsimile

Subsystem surface and compass code sensitivities to non-identical infidelity distributions on heavy-hex lattice
Logical qubits encoded into a quantum code exhibit improved error rates when the physical error rates are sufficiently low, below the pseudothreshold. Logical error rates and pseudothresholds can be estimated for specific circuits and noise models, and these estimates provide approximate goals for qubit performance. However, estimates often assume uniform error rates, while real devices have static and/or dynamic distributions of non-identical error rates and may exhibit outliers. These distrib…
