Why the fuck do people think the names of sub-atomic particles are somehow 'alien' or 'extraterrestrial'?!They're actually part of YOU and holding you together.</RANT>#ExtraterrestrialShows#HashTagGames #ScienceEducation #physics

Hints of non-gravitational interactions between dark matter and relic #neutrinos in the early #universe have emerged in a study of astronomical data from different periods of cosmic history.Dark matter and neutrinos play major roles in the evolution of cosmic structures, but they are among the universe’s least-understood components.Dark matter is thought to make up over 25% of the universe’s mass, but it has never been detected directly; instead, its existence is inferred from its gravitational interactions.Neutrinos, for their part, are fundamental subatomic particles that have a very low mass and interact only rarely with normal matter.According to the standard ΛCDM #model of cosmology, dark matter and neutrinos do not interact with each other.The new results challenge this model by proposing that dark matter and neutrinos may have interacted in the past, when the universe was younger and contained many more neutrinos than it does today.#physics #cosmologyhttps://physicsworld.com/a/interactions-between-dark-matter-and-neutrinos-could-resolve-a-cosmic-discrepancy/

In a story that proves you don’t have to be a star to find a star, astronomers are excited to train the next generation of telescopes at an Earth-like exoplanet discovered by a citizen scientist. Alexander Venner, currently studying studying at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, picked his way by hand through the data […] The post Citizen Scientist Spots Earth-like Planet: Now Astrophysicists Will Focus Most Powerful Telescopes on it appeared first on Good News Network.

@adub agreed!

Hey there, I am Prathamesh Deshmukh, a PhD scholar at UGC-DAE CSR, Mumbai, working in condensed matter physics. My research focuses on magnetoelectric coupling in multiferroic composites and their dielectric, magnetic, and neutron diffraction studies.Beyond synthesis, I specialise in scientific instrumentation. I designed the Advanced Transport Measurement System (ATMS), a low-cost cryogenic setup for precision transport measurements, and developed PICA, an open-source Python suite for lab automation.I will be completing my PhD this year and am seeking postdoctoral research opportunities that would leverage my expertise in experimental physics, scientific instrumentation, and software development.https://prathameshdeshmukh.site#Introduction #CondensedMatter #Physics #NeutronScattering #OpenScience #Python #LabAutomation #Instrumentation #Postdoc #AcademicMastodon

@team @davidjamesweir @hweimer @neuSoM The individual experience *is* different depending on your home instance, though (I have tried and am trying a few). Server rules matter, moderation matters, server federation decisions matter, technical decisions matter. I am only slowly learning to put words to what so far was mostly a diffuse feeling (learning by currently reading https://moveslowlybuildbridges.com/ by @rwg). And I would argue that a lot of the time, instances that have some sort of screening or soft limitations in their sign-up process are often better moderated and nicer places to be.I do however approve of the compromise of suggesting instances with open registration for new arrivals - where the suggestion is *not* mastodon.social - in order to not have that additional hurdle of seeking an invite, waiting for approval, or finding out about your own eligibility (or not).That said, for the large number of people eligible for ac.social, the onboarding is blazingly fast and simple.

Recently, the German #Physical Society @DPGPhysik started here on #Mastodon. And many people are just entering the #Fediverse. In case some physicists are also #newhere and are wondering who is posting on #physics: the #Fediwall offers a good opportunity to figure it out: https://fediwall.social/?tags=&accounts= Simply enter "physics“ or "quantumphysics“ or whatsoever into the top line, and all recent posts to the issue will be displayed https://fediwall.social/?tags=physics,quantumphysics&accounts= How cool. And, please, consider to prefix important words in your posts with a hashtag, so that it enters the Fediwall. And remember that by selecting "Show all trending posts“, "Show all source-local posts“ and/or "Show all federated posts“ your search will become rather unspecific.

@gutenberg_org I can't read "Islamic Golden Age" without hearing it like in bill wurtz's video.

@mondinspace

@snappyhome @bigbee very exciting to have you here to explain it to us. Congratulations!
