Must be something in the electrons...

Two of my LJ friends just got engaged to each other. They live on different continents but found each other through LJ. In two weeks, they will finally meet in person. An actual xmas miracle y'all! Two of my LJ friends just got married, with much rejoicing from all who know and love them. So please, my friends, raise a glass for dave_agnew and agentdelaware ! Slainte! May your...

... atomic level, which is a critical requirement for making efficient transistors out of the structures. "Having sharply defined layers of materials enables you to improve and control the flow of electrons and to switch this flow on and off," said Eric Stach, an associate professor of materials engineering at Purdue. Chemistry National Science Foundation via US News and World Report: First ...

"The Witch's Grave"

... This witch was a physicist?" He snorted. "Almost as bad. Sneaky particles and parallel universes and electrons. String theory." "Like you understand any of it. Quit complaining or I'll wish you to a parallel... mind expand for a second? Did she feel ripples? She took a slow breath and all the electrons in the megaverse breathed with her and... She couldn't get out quickly enough. Rupert wasn't...

Epitaph Again 3/?

...t fight, can’t feed. Might as well get my jollies being useful at something.” He squinted upwards, at the light tubes in the tunnel. “Hadn’t thought about it before, but there’s too much damage for electrons to be looping around anywhere. No tubes or wires, either. It’s way too light. I’ve done sewers, basements, all matters of deep and dark. But I don’t even need vampiric peepers around here.” “...

...core. Particles of light — photons — in the oxygen core interact with the nuclei of atoms to form electrons and their equivalent anti-matter particle, positrons. The conversion of photons to pairs of electrons and positrons causes a violent contraction in the star, leading to a runaway nuclear explosion. Stars as big ...

Atheism

.... But germs are only visible through a tool, a microscope. And some things, like atoms, can only be seen as vague blobs on the most powerful microscopes. We have little evidence, aside from the effects, of things like electrons. And we have, as far as I know of, no evidence at all of quantum-level particles. Even if we do, if quantum physics is to be believed (and I think it is), we can't even be ...

Returning to Normalcy

Or at least what passes for it in Tizzy's World! Things like remembering to put electrons into the iPod for the trip to work - oops, missed that one! But at least I remembered the Giant Thermos Coffee Mug for the nice folks at It's A Grind to fill up. Waking up before dawn and untangling myself from various and sundry pets... oooh, I ithink it'll be a while before the back readjusts to that! And ...
