For all you folks who are more versed in electrical engineering than physics, a good example of a quasiparticle is positively charged "holes". These are a lot like electrons but are clearly not fundamental particles.
You know, I thought a journalist got a little too carried away, but actually it was the authors of the scientific paper who made these statements.
Anyways, the electrons don't break apart. The "fractional" particles are just quasiparticles which are just labels of particular patterns found in the spins in crystal lattices. These are not fundamental particles.
The magnetic monopoles in spin lattices are "quasiparticles". They aren't fundamental particles. They are basically simulations of monopoles on a crystal lattice. But these crystal patterns can still exist at a quantum scale, so they still act like particles. This explains it if you understand enough physics. http://www.nature.com/nature/j...
Glossy screen makes it easier to remove the glare-- just tilt the screen a bit to shift the glare out of view. With a matte screen, the glare gets washed out over a large angle. This means it's much less bright at the reflection angle, but it is present no matter which direction you point the screen.
I'd be woefully incompetent at choosing a judge. The only judge I know about other than those already on the Supreme Court is Judge Judy. Why should I have a voice?
Having democracy where we really need an expert opinion gives us idiocracy. We'll have pro wrestlers and movie stars running our courts.
Universities and librarians should decide what journals are worth funding, but the government should fund the journals directly with the requirement of open access.
It does diminish: "The biases that they found appear to even out, little by little, as you go farther along the number line — but they do so at a snail’s pace."
Right. Apple isn't buying back these products because they have some use for them. They are buying them back to take them out of the market and to reel in a new customer.
No. Legally, it's not a debt until the transaction has already occurred. If a person grabs an item and brings it to the checkout counter and hasn't paid yet, then it still belongs to the merchant. Now, if the merchant offers the person 10 second interest-free financing on the item, then that's another deal.
Let's be a little more honest about what a solar energy spill is. I can imagine the pipes or tower corroding and leaking molten salt on the ground. I'm not sure what kind of salt it is, but I'm pretty confident it isn't good for the soil. It sounds a couple orders of magnitude less bad than a nuclear meltdown, but I don't think it's "'a good day'".
The first and third photos show parabolic reflectors used to focus light on pipes running the length of the mirrors. The second photo shows a bunch of flat reflectors all focusing light on giant towers. Maybe there are also PV panels on the left side of the image--it's hard to tell. Which is it? Or are there multiple parts of Noor, using different technologies?
I think you don't need insurance if you are able to assume the costs of any potential liability. Most people can't do this, but it's no problem for Google.

Air pollution from traffic kills more people than collisions. And every one of them is a "hit and run".

I suppose the publicity of winning is worth something, though maybe not as much as $1 million.
"ever will be" is a STRONG claim...
Such weak encryption. I would've doubled the security by doing a double XOR 50.
Tell the neuroscientists to go study drone operators ordered to bomb hospitals and schools.
Not so much on the streets, but they making a killing in prisons, I hear.
Let's make a law where the police have the master key to all locks on your house and your car. Because terrorists.

How can I avoid Error 53?
Don't buy Apple
This is just Apple's way of forcing users to upgrade their phones before Jan 1 1970 rolls around.

The Michelson-Morley experiment is a perfect example of why it is important to actually detect something we expect from theory to be true.
Yeah, just throw two black holes together next to what you want to destroy.
It'd have to be a pretty damned big flaw.

Does the $1.5 billion cost of nuclear include fuel cost, decommissioning, and storage? And does it include the cost of graft?
