Spinning into the Gap - Direct-horizon Collapse as the Origin of GW231123 from End-to-end General-relativistic Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations: #BlackHoles Explained: https://www.simonsfoundation.org/2025/11/10/mysterious-impossible-merger-of-two-massive-black-holes-explained/ - a comprehensive set of simulations by Flatiron Institute astrophysicists and their colleagues revealed that magnetic fields are responsible for creating black holes with masses in a range previously thought to be largely off-limits.
For your edification, the most common form factor of floppy disks:
5¼ inch (no metal door thing)
3½ inch (the one the save icon was modeled after)
There were also 8 inch (used before 1980s mainly), and various not very successful 3 inch, 2½ inch and 2 inch formats.
Note that while the form factor might have been the same, a lot of diskettes aren't mutually software compatible between systems.
There's physical sub-formats (e.g. one sided, hard sectors, varying supported densities due to magnetic properties etc.) too.

that can measure magnetic fields with high sensitivity.
To unlock the full potential of these sensors,
researchers need to understand the behavior of the material at the atomic level.

Einstein and Debye temperatures, electron-phonon coupling constant and a probable mechanism for ambient-pressure room-temperature superconductivity in intercalated graphite

Abstract: Recently, Ksenofontov et al (arXiv:2510.03256) observed ambient pressure room-temperature superconductivity in graphite intercalated with lithium-based alloys with transition temperature (according to magnetization measurements) $T_c=330$ $K$. Here, I analyzed the reported temperature dependent resistivity data $\rho(T)$ in these graphite-intercalated samples and found that $\rho(T)$ is well described by the model of two series resistors, where each resistor is described as either an Einstein conductor or a Bloch-Gr\"uneisen conductor. Deduced Einstein and Debye temperatures are $\Theta_{E,1} \approx 250$ $K$ and $\Theta_{E,2} \approx 1,600$ $K$, and $\Theta_{D,1} \approx 300$ $K$ and $\Theta_{D,2} \approx 2,200$ $K$, respectively. Following the McMillan formalism, from the deduced $\Theta_{E,2}$ and $\Theta_{D,2}$, the electron-phonon coupling constant $\lambda_{e-ph} = 2.2 - 2.6$ was obtained. This value of $\lambda_{e-ph}$ is approximately equal to the value of $\lambda_{e-ph}$ in highly compressed superconducting hydrides. Based on this, I can propose that the observed room-temperature superconductivity in intercalated graphite is localized in nanoscale Sr-Ca-Li metallic flakes/particles, which adopt the phonon spectrum from the surrounding bulk graphite matrix, and as a result, conventional electron-phonon superconductivity arises in these nano-flakes/particles at room temperature. Experimental data reported by Ksenofontov et al (arXiv:2510.03256) on trapped magnetic flux decay in intercalated graphite samples supports the proposition.

Just discovered there is a subreddit for VCRs, /r/VCR, things I'm absolutely not nostalgic about: magnetic tape video recorders, audio tapes and vinyl record players. Why do you want to subject yourself to sub-par experiences in 2025?
Executive presence is not about how you stand or what you wear.
It comes from four qualities you build from the inside out: care, clarity, curiosity, and courage.
The leaders who inspire others stop performing and start living these qualities.
What would change if you focused on these instead of trying to project confidence?

Determination of nuclear quadrupole moments of $^{25}$Mg, $^{87}$Sr, and $^{135,137}$Ba via configuration-interaction plus coupled-cluster approach

Abstract: Using the configuration-interaction plus coupled-cluster approach, we calculate the electric-field gradients $q$ for the low-lying states of alkaline-earth atoms, including magnesium (Mg), strontium (Sr), and barium (Ba). These low-lying states specifically include the $3s3p~^3\!P_{1,2}$ states of Mg; the $5s4d~^1\!D_{2}$ and $5s5p~^3\!P_{1,2}$ states of Sr; as well as the $6s5d~^3\!D_{1,2,3}$, $6s5d~^1\!D_{2}$, and $6s6p~^1\!P_{1}$ states of Ba. By combining the measured electric quadrupole hyperfine-structure constants of these states, we accurately determine the nuclear quadrupole moments of $^{25}$Mg, $^{87}$Sr, and $^{135,137}$Ba. These results are compared with the available data. The comparison shows that our nuclear quadrupole moment of $^{25}$Mg is in perfect agreement with the result from the mesonic X-ray experiment. However, there are approximately 10\% and 4\% differences between our results and the currently adopted values [Pyykk$\rm \ddot{o}$, Mol. Phys. 116, 1328(2018)] for the nuclear quadrupole moments of $^{87}$Sr and $^{135,137}$Ba respectively. Moreover, we also calculate the magnetic dipole hyperfine-structure constants of these states, and the calculated results exhibit good agreement with the measured data.
