Welcome new friends!

And a happy Bastille Day to our French friends.

I scroll so you don’t have to.

I got a few responses to my question but I am curious to know more of your experiences.

What mnemonic did you learn for the colors of a rainbow? (FWIW, I learned it as VIBGYOR - but with a soft G, as if the color is JREEN 🙄 )

• ROYGBIV

• VIBGYOR (hard G)

• VIBGYOR (soft G)

An angstrom is 10^-10 m, so these are 0.4 nm in size.

Wow! 😵‍💫 

This is an early proof of concept but that’s how engineering works. I am really interested to see how/if/when they can do this reliably and at scale.

Even if this remains a proof of concept, there’s so much to learn!

#2

This sounds terrifying!

Between the spiders and the drop-bears and now this - I am super impressed by the sheer bravery of all Australians!

#3

Such images are very grounding (pun unintended) - they show how vast the cosmos is! 🤩 

#4

Now you know!

The next time someone brings up Fermat’s Last Theorem in casual conversation, you can smugly say “It doesn’t apply to matrices, you know!” 😆

The good thing about Planck jokes is that they are all very small.

That’s it for this issue.
