AI-Assisted analysis of $^{28}$Si$^*$ $\rightarrow$ 7$α$ break-up data
Mid-weight $α$-conjugate nuclei are predicted to possess exotic toroid-like resonances with high angular momenta. The search for these states in $^{28}$Si$^*$ is the main point of two published experimental investigations of the peripheral $^{28}$Si + $^{12}$C reaction by Cao and collaborators and by Hannaman and collaborators. In this work, we develop a novel Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based machine learning method utilizing the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) to analyze available experimental…

Neighbour dropped off a welder with a blown FET on the PCB (within a snubber circuit). Found a suspect diode. Found a manufacturer and boardset ID: Arcsonic AT-06-A7. Wrote to Arcsonic on AliExpress, and after about 3 messages exchanged I had a full circuit schematic for the thing sitting in my e-mail inbox. As much as we (rightly!) complain about and fear over-reliance on China in the West, their culture of openness and repair is something we would do well to emulate. Imagine writing to Bos…
