This measurement was performed in a lab in Germany. The main spectrometer of the apparatus used for the measurement was fabricated in Germany. The delivery route was almost 9000 km. https://www.symmetrymagazine.org/articl

I gave a couple of physics talks where I used the "fasten seatbelt" sign on a series of slides introducing a controversial topic (weak value amplification). I told the audiences beforehand that they just needed to stay in their s

During my physics PhD I built my own Segway (and a second one with a power tool company who came to me after first asking tlb) and did a bunch of projects with a high-power laser cutter that I got funding for in our lab. I included these o

I wonder if your eyes move around a lot. It's known that we can see flicker in things like LEDs on a clock when our eyes move fast enough that subsequent flashes are sufficiently separated in the field of vision, particularly in our p

It's not just nice for that reason, that's the reason the scale exists.

I presume that's kind of the point. It's fun.

I always want to ask “degrees what?" I once worked on a system that ran at -40 degrees. I loved leaving off the scale when giving tours and telling about it, because someone would invariably ask if I meant Celsius or Fahrenheit and

If I were to do this I'd probably start with a system from Unipi [0], either their Raspberry Pi add-on board or one of their PLCs. They're pretty handy and more versatile than standard PLC systems. [0] https://www.unipi
