It should also be cool-beans for quantum computing as well. Meanwhile, here is a element that money people are going to make money off of, because of demand, sooner than Scandium.  Geologist Thomas Abraham-James’ quest to find the elusive element Helium during a time of persisting shortages

Clocks accurate to within one second in 30 billion years

2023-09-28 Thread John Clark
A few months ago I wrote a post about the possibility of using the element Thorium to greatly increase the accuracy of clocks. Another element, Scandium, could also be used, but to use either you'd have to know very precisely the energy a X-ray photon would need to have to excite the nucleus into

Conclusion? Lots of physicists and astronomers need a bigger budget. I'd throw in for med research, LLM's and QC as well.  On Thursday, September 28, 2023 at 08:02:20 AM EDT, John Clark wrote: I don't think anybody was surprised but yesterday the journal Nature reported that for the

Gravity treats matter and antimatter the same way

2023-09-28 Thread John Clark
I don't think anybody was surprised but yesterday the journal Nature reported that for the first time it has been experimentally demonstrated that antimatter particles fall down and not up just like particles made of normal matter. It took an amazing amount of skill for experimenters to do this.
