A new analysis of data captured by the STAR detector at RHIC revealed the QGP’s temperature at different stages of its evolution following collisions of gold ions — the nuclei of gold #atoms stripped of their #electrons.

🗜️ Core electron bonding may not always require extreme pressure, study finds

What happens when #electrons leave a solid material? This seemingly simple phenomenon has eluded accurate theoretical description until now. Researchers have found the missing piece of the puzzle.

When it comes down to it, #electrons are at the core of most #AI image generators. Researchers are working on ways to use #photons instead, providing better privacy and reducing power consumption. spectrum.ieee.org/generative-o...

Los Alamos Identifies Key Factor Behind Sudden Satellite Failures

For decades, the space industry has been baffled by sudden satellite failures, often leading to significant losses. Recently, researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory identified a critical cause: electrical discharges resulting from electron accumulation in the satellite’s environment. As satel...

Numbers coming out great for my recent home #solar install; the #metrics in the dashboard are wrong though; my average daily power generation was actually 64.99 kWh so far this month, not 26 kWh as shown in the #monitoring app, because it’s not taking into account the days my system was off and I was waiting for the utility approval before I could start making all my own artisinally-crafted #electrons. We use about ~31 kWh daily in this household, so I’ll be needing to do some work to ensure $0 bills all year round, with the utility’s net metering program I’ve got us running on. #solarpunk #punkAF #ArtisinalEnergy #LifeGoals #SolarHomelab

Graph displaying energy generation metrics for 2025-08

Highlighted stat shows 8/10 generation of Energy: 92.99 kWh

779.9 kWh Total Energy
26 kWh Average Daily Energy (actually this is wrong; system has been up only 12 days and so actual avg is 64.99 kWh)

Finished the installation guide for the NESessity boards + NESRGB. There were a couple of issues that were sorted during the build, but everything came out pretty great.

#CMSPAS: Highly boosted dielectron identification in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV (CMS-PAS-EGM-24-002) https://cds.cern.ch/record/2937703 #Electrons #Photons

I know this is super cool #quantum based science with biomedical applications... but "We used a special black box to capture invisible #light that living mice emit but dead ones don't" feels a bit witchcrafty.
What is imaged, BTW, and why it is really cool, is the tiny amount of photons that are emitted by #electrons changing their energy state due to biological interactions.
There are some really interesting applications for something like this, sci-fi stuff.

Reduced biophoton emission in euthanized mice compared to live mice. (A) UPE images from live mice (top row, N = 4) and recently euthanized mice (bottom row, N = 4) following 30 min of dark acclimation and a 60 min biophoton imaging session. (B) Graph showing total photon flux (photons/s) in live versus recently euthanized mice. Total flux was quantified using a whole-body ROI from the mice in panel A. (∗) Welch’s test (heteroscedastic t test), with p < 0.05. The bodies of both living and deceased mice in the experiments were at 37 °C.

Deep, chewy, rich, digestible. A cracking good job by #ScienceJournalist Zack Savitsky.

''But the implications go beyond just building better superconductors. A theory that explains strange metals may force a fundamental rethinking of how electricity works in all materials. It might subsume the standard theory the way general relativity, with its curved spacetime, subsumed Isaac Newton’s theory of gravity—and prove just as unsettling. Strange metals are forcing physicists to ask whether the very idea of an electron, or any particle for that matter, is an oversimplification of what’s really going on. “The violation of the standard theory of solids in these strange metals is so dramatic—it’s in your face,” says Qimiao Si, a physicist at Rice University who collaborates with Paschen. “There’s no question there’s new physics.”''
