Today has been productive so far! Made probably 2-3 lbs of tahini in the morning (used the remaining amount of brown sesame seeds we had from the 5 lb bag) using the WonderMill, then made dough for carrot parathas in the afternoon (had enough whole wheat flour from a previous grind).
This mill is (a) extremely useful and (b) really good. We have the WonderMill Junior Deluxe :

Electron Confinement-Induced Plasmonic Breakdown in Metals
Plasmon resonance in metals represents the collective oscillation of the free electron gas density and enables enhanced light-matter interactions in nanoscale dimensions. Traditionally, the classical Drude model describes the plasmonic excitation, wherein the plasma frequency exhibits no spatial dispersion. Here, we show conclusive experimental evidence of the breakdown of the plasmon resonance and a consequent photonic metal-insulator transition in an ultrathin archetypal refractory plasmonic …

Prominence and coronal rain formation by steady versus stochastic heating and how we can relate it to observations
Prominences and coronal rain are two forms of coronal condensations for which we still lack satisfactory details on the formation pathways and conditions under which the two come to exist. We compared prominences that formed via a steady versus stochastic type of heating. We performed 2.5D simulations using the open-source MPI-AMRVAC code. To further extend the work and allow for future direct comparison with observations, we used Lightweaver to form spectra of the filament view of our steady c…

Finished printing this behemoth. Nearly 2Kg in sane weight measurements. Stay tuned for the painting and weathering. It's a 40-watt Phased Plasma Pulse-Gun famous as the weapon #Terminators used to hunt down humanity. Don't mind the clown colors, it's really good printing PLA of which I have a large supply.

The British retailers association also takes aim at Amazon’s “Buy Box,” claiming that Amazon manipulated which retailers were selected for the coveted placement.

I'm pleasantly surprised and truly honoured to have my work be acknowledged in this week's edition of the Pandemic Roundup from @… who has been one of the precious few reliable journalists unrelentingly reporting on Covid since the start. Check it out:
