All my life I’ve been unable to understanding finding an animal “gross” just for its natural appearance and I still can’t accept that anybody really means it. “Gross” is something an animal might DO or a condition it might be in, like when a dog rolls around in roadkill, right?
I can get finding some animals “scary” for how they look or how they move, but....gross? Like an insect, all by itself, is some sort of unclean filthy gag-inducing “gross” to some people? How? What??? You’re saying there are basically unsanitary SHAPES? Specifically for animals? A creature can have a geometry that makes some people nauseated?
Or is it like some people have difficulty contextualizing insects or worms as individual animals and instead hold them in the same mental category as almost like a “substance” or a “texture,” like living “dirt?” Is THAT what it is?

ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚.Wet dreams.˚◦○˚ ୧ .˚ₓ
Todoroki Shoto
Based off the song Wet Dreamz by J. Cole.
(Guys do I drop this after a 2 year hiatus or no )
。。。 Though it was the second day of school already, there had already been talk of a new student—most likely gossip overheard from the U.A. staff. Typically a new student wasn’t of much appeal, this was a huge school after all, even though it was prestigious, but what made the U.A. students so chatty about this new student was the fact that she was a foreigner. There had only even been three American students in the long history of U.A. high school, so getting a transfer was not only impressive, due to the fact that she wasn’t required to participate in the entrance exams, and also exciting.
The bell chimed for second blocks end, and next for the students of class 3.A., was the drowse inducing subject. Math. The teachers filtered out in order to teach their proper subject, after all just because this was a hero school didn’t mean that they were excused from engaging in normal, more uneventful subjects. Todoroki sat with perfect posture in the back of the room, awaiting the teachers entrance. His ears perked up when he heard Midoriya speak of the new girl who might’ve been making her first entrance today, though he didn’t quite care for a new student, it honestly had nothing to do with him, he hadn’t found a need for more friends, Midoriya, Uraraka, Iida, and Floppy felt plentiful.
The door slid open, the chattering of the class going still. In walked Cemento, but it wasn’t just him, it was also the new girl, and now that he has seen her with his own eyes, he could understand what the excitement was for. She had mesmerizing, smooth skin, she was delicate looking, with the such pretty eyes, they put his heterochromia ones to shame. Along with her pretty eyes and gorgeous figure her hair was long, around 30 inches, and red just like his left side, Todoroki couldn’t care less if it was real or not. He was sure his mouth was keenly open, but he knew he wasn’t alone, even the girls in the class were shocked at her appearance.
Cemento guided her to the front of the large classroom, in front of the expensive smart board that wasn’t yet displaying geometry problems, thankfully.
Cemento was preparing to give her the go ahead to start speaking but she already took that initiative for herself.
“Hi everyone it’s an absolute pleasure to meet you all! I’m … and I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you,” she beamed.
Sure she was already beautiful but todoroki could feel fire coming out his right side when she smiled revealing a straight line of pretty, white teeth. His multicolored eyes glanced around his classroom, and even the notorious Bakugou was in awe, a sight he has never yet seen.
“It is an absolute honor to have you here … ! Your Japanese is impressive!” Iida stood up moving his arm in the odd robotic like motions, but todoroki doubted anyone missed the telltale pink blush flushed across his pale face.
… bowed in response, traditional Japanese etiquette that she had obviously studied along with the language.
His eyes followed her long legs as she walked to the only empty seat in the room. Right next to him.

gear ask: boots vs mitts, which is more fun to you and why?
(also "blackout poetry but with a person" is rewiring my brain a bit so thank you for that)
For boots I’m gonna assume you mean ballet/pony boots since as opposed to just regular boots since mitts is the other option
It’s pretty situational but I’d probably go with mitts being generally more fun
With both options (assuming they are the only gear being used) you severely limit the actions a person can take without actually restraining their body all that much
With ballet boots they pretty much prevent walking entirely unless you’ve had lots of practice or are actually a ballerina. This also makes them a fun choice for a character who is actually a dancer to either show off their mastery or make them struggle where they would normally excel. They are an intense piece of gear and agony for someone who isn’t accustomed to them, fun but very situational
Pony boots are often lumped in with ballet boots as being super intense/painful, but are actually much easier to learn and downright comfortable once you do. Good quality ones are made with running and pulling heavy weight in mind, since that’s what they are often worn for. Great for the workout kink minded petplay fan but again, very situational. Not a great idea to wear real horseshoes inside for example
Mitts though, you can use in most any situation you want. Once a pair of properly fitted mitts are on the wearer is completely dependent on others for even the most basic tasks. A person who’s a workaholic is suddenly completely unable to type but otherwise free to wander and relax, a simple door is suddenly a sweat inducing geometry problem to try and tackle solo and a locked door is impossible even with the key in the room
Our hands are the primary means we have for interacting with the world, removing their use removes a massive amount of agency from a person, which can intensify a scene with other gear or force a person who has trouble letting go of control to accept that they can’t do anything but give in for a little while
#NSFT#I honestly really like the hoof boot adjacent designs in Arknights because for kuranta specifically#they probably work great for their charges#mitts are really fun combined with locks just to drive the point home#for bonus entertainment have them try to do a simple task for hours of entertainment#gear#which one do YOU like more?#also glad you liked the poetry line I’m rather proud of that one

pyrite propaganda: pyrite is so amazing i’m not even kidding. in my mothertongue, instead of being called fool’s gold, it’s called cat’s gold and we all love cats right?
also, fossils can become pyritised, meaning that we have literal DINOSAUR FOSSILS that are made of pyrite!!! beautiful shiny golden pyrite!!!
plus pyrite has a lot of chemically similar minerals that are awesome that it can occur with as well. i love chalcopyrite because i love copper (CuFeS2 if im not mistaken) and arsenopyrite is haha funny because its chemical composition is literally FeAsS and it has arse in the name as well (sorry).
it also forms in cubes and im p sure the other shape is a dodecahedron (sorry im not good at remembering geometry and im writing this in a pyrite-induced feverish haze so im not gonna google that rn) and we love 1. minecraft (cubes) and 2. dnd (dodecahedron)
i literally love this rock so so so much i will cry forever if it doesnt win (real)
YES TO ALL OF THIS! And thank you especially for shouting out chalcopyrite i love chalcopyrite.

Here is my version of Asmodeus!
WARNING: There are mentions of coitus, genitalia, and gambling.
Utsimoderva is a good-mannered archdemon of lust who can show genuine concern and understanding towards those that are experiencing misfortune. However, he isn’t afraid to be cruel and merciless in order to do anything that will help him to achieve his lustful conquests. Despite how ruthless he can be, he’s quite the canny satirist and critic of mortal and immortal societies. He’s a creative strategist with a lot of passion and wisdom for military, scientific, mathematical, and artistic exploits. He possesses a strong aesthetic sense and enjoyment in the finer things in life, thriving in social situations. As a result of his seductive and tempting nature, he can lure individuals into self-indulgent behaviours. He can convincingly gain favour by playing to the emotions of crowds, masses, and even single individuals without dishonesty. He calmly holds firm to his chosen moral position, strictly following through with determination. Due to being a hedonist, he lovingly enjoys luxury, sensuality, and pleasurable, yet bloody confrontations. Utsimoderva’s impulsive, attention-seeking nature and sensitivity to criticism can cause frustrations in his life.
He’s 9’ 3” (281.94 cm) with an oval-shaped mesomorphic body type that has muscular limbs, four arms, a well-endowed penis, and an engorged vulva. His skin appears to be a whitish-red from the ashes and blood of corpses that are smeared all over his body, and his neck is a purplish-blue due to holding poison in his throat. He has muscular rooster legs, sharp claws, six turkey buzzard wings, four intertwining serpent tails, and a prominent feminine chest. He also has three heads; that of a man with Indian hog deer antlers and elvish ears (front), a palomino Mustang horse (right), and a Bluefaced Leicester ewe (left). His human head possesses two rows of shark teeth sticking out of his mouth and pupiless heterochromia eyes, the right is greyish-blue and the left is yellow-brown. Utsimoderva wears long, flowing, slightly tattered robes of brilliant turquoise that have golden hemming and purple stars. He possesses a four-arched imperial crown with a golden pig that has open feathered wings on the top, a red velvet cap, and a brown ermine band. His crown has an openwork gold frame, a Black Prince’s Ruby, a Cullinan diamond, a St. Edward’s Sapphire, 17 amethysts, 11 emeralds, and 269 pearls. He occasionally wields a light lance of blue and pink flames, and a rose gold banner depicting a decapitated sapphire-eyed ram’s head with an encircling peridot ouroboros.
He’s capable of breathing hellish fire and spitting out poison that induces vengeful nightmares, and the aura surrounding him can cause fear and repudiation to sinful people. He possesses the strength of his biological father and aunt, and the stamina, dexterity, and durability of his mother. As a result of his supernatural agility, he can dodge projectiles that move several times faster than light due to his heightened balance, motor coordination, reflexes, and speed. Utsimoderva can clearly mimic the voices of humans and Æylphitus, but he can’t imitate the Äylcephomus and Hirczalotepus Tejasozuri. He’s able to feel textures and tactile sensations outside the range of normal perception, helping him to locate potential danger or lustful sinners. Depending on the situation, he can hijack the body of humans, Ufrajozlens, and Azhelowins by accessing their souls and overtaking their mind for three weeks.
He knows the private lives of people and hidden secrets and treasures of the earth, and he can easily bestow invisibility to mortals. He possesses absolute knowledge of and mastery over sexuality, geometry, arithmetic, astronomy, and the mechanical arts. He can manipulate astronomical bodies, lust, desires, vengeance, biological essence, and sexual force, and induce fanaticism and emotional attachments. By using hypnosis, Utsimoderva can easily seduce people of weak will through his eyes and sensual touches. He’s capable of utilising telepathy, mind-reading, and zoolingualism, and seeing nearly all the variables of any situation in order to predict desirable outcomes. He can change his form into sexually attractive humans, bulls, goats, a basilisk, an aphrodisiac mist, and white smoke.

More updates on page 17, almost done!
There was a decent amount of thought going into the Hellflower’s design. Intercept with the tether occurs at about 100km and Mach 12.6, which means something like a local attached shock angle of 15ish degrees (on a wedge at least, it will probably go down a little for a cylinder) so the main bodies are kind of kept within that cone.
Inlets were tricky because I wanted something really weird BUT plausible. After playing around for a bit I became convinced that the sort of hypersonic inlet I wanted existed, I just had trouble finding the test data. Eventually I found Busemann inlets and they looked even better than I hoped so I went with those. Very pointy and thorny. Major draw back is that their geometry is hard to change for different Mach numbers, unlike the classical wedge ramp or pointy cone, but Hellflowers have XXXtreme variable geometry so they’re fine for this.
The light dots ahead of the Hellflower are laser filamentation. As mentioned in a prior post, inducing many smaller shock waves is more efficient than one big shockwave. So the laser zaps are causing many smaller shocks. Would a combined Busemann inlet and laser shock look like this? Probably not. But that’s as far as I’ve decided to go down this particular rabbit hole. The lasers might also be useful for ionizing air for magnetohydrodynamic compressors but I might not want to get that complex and heavy. What’s going on inside the engine? Hot and fast things. That’s all the reader needs to know. Maybe it can function as a ram/scramjet and she flaps to get up to start speed lol.
What else... I’m using Hoytethers for the tether structure. A good design that resists failure when parts are cut. This whole thing is similar to the Boeing HASTOL proposal, which carried a LOT less weight than this but was made out of readily available materials, this world has carbon nanotube nonsense.
I need to add some glow for the heating, hard to find good reference images.
That’s all I can think of for now, hope you enjoy the aesthetic nerdery.

Origins: Carmine is a member of the Off-Color Tsviets and the first son and child of Rosso the Crimson. His biological father is the Restrictor, the cruel overseer of Deepground. From birth, Carmine was forced to train to be the most effective killer that could surpass his mother’s abilities. His body has been pushed beyond its limits to the point it is a wonder how Carmine lived past the age of five. After his birth, his mother attempted to hide him but he was quickly taken away and placed in the Offspring Nursery. Since then, he was subjected to torturous experiments as Rosso gave birth to his siblings due to her body being modified to be pregnant for three months. The mother and son would communicate at every opportunity, even having the chance to see his younger siblings.
Due to the brutal experience he suffered, Carmine has become mentally unstable. He has become hostile to “Shinrites,” meaning people who work for Shinra”, and would aim his rifle at them, believing they intend harm regardless. He tends to be vulgar whenever he feels defensive, especially when it comes to his siblings and mother. This would also lead to profanity and threats of violence.
Despite these frightening traits, he does his best to create and maintain his humanity. He would make himself bleed daily to remind himself that he is still a living person, not a weapon. Carmine had developed a reputation for trying to escape since he was about four years old. His common method is to use the air vent. This led him to enter various places in the Shinra Tower, such as the Materia Research Facility, SOLDIER Floor, Visual Entertainment Hall, the President’s Office, executives' offices, Hojo's laboratory, and the Skyview Hall, his favorite place. He would collect items, such as office supplies, Shinra/SOLDIER merch, souvenirs, and human teeth from Hojo’s lab. He also managed to collect Lazard’s pens, the Turks’ weapons, Palmer’s luxury eating utensils, Heidegger’s medals, Hojo’s lab equipment, Scarlet’s picture of her daughter, Vermillion, Rochelle’s makeup, Rufus’ coins and shotgun bullets, Junio’s handbags, and President Shinra’s car keys to one of his sports cars. He would then give most of them to the other children in Deepground, such as his siblings and his peers like Fuchsia. There are even times that he took jewelry and fur coats to Rosso in secret.
When Sonon and Yuffie got captured, Carmine was one of the first to interact with the former. Though their first interaction was brief, the ninja intrigued the young boy. Once they get to meet more formally, Sonon is assigned to fight him, later, he tells him about the “Outside”. Sonon said how Wutai was a great nation before Shinra ruined it and that there was so much freedom. Carmine was amazed by this and would repeat it to the other children.
Once Yuffie becomes pregnant, Carmine overhears conversations about a potential dissection of the baby, which would lead to its death as they are deemed “disposable”. The boy immediately told Sonon, who then told Nero, Weiss, and Yuffie. The Pure White Emperor then created an escape plan that would lead them into Wutai. Days later, Carmine hit his head hard enough that he got a concussion during training. In the infirmary, when Shelke is assisting in examining him with the doctors, she discovers that Carmine's “obedience” chip has been destroyed. This allows him to go against the Restrictor and gain free will. From there, Weiss sees him as essential to the escape. Soon after, Weiss secretly told the young boy how he could help.
There are three tasks he needs to do once he escapes;
Seek out Viceroy Sarruf for Weiss to remove him from power for the Kisaragi Family to reclaim control over Wutai
Search for Wutai’s materia, especially the Leviathan materia
Return to help with the breakout once he gets Shelke’s message
As a way to escape, Carmine forced his body into “Bleeding Sleep” to give the appearance of being dead as blood came out of his mouth and his heart stopped. Several Deepground children, including some of his siblings, pretend to mourn for him. The Restrictor, disgusted by Carmine’s “corpse”, threw him away in the trash truck. Carmine uses “Bleeding Sleep” long enough to wake himself and crawl out of the trash. He looks out of the trash truck to see the sun for the first time, amazed by the sight of freedom. Using this as an opportunity, he jumped out and headed to the nearest town outside of Midgar, Kalm. From there, he learns more about
Along with getting a red hoodie, black pants, and slightly ragged white sneakers, he also gets a small rifle and stolen materia for any self-defense.
Now, with all of his equipment, Carmine hopes to complete his tasks to ensure the escape from Deepground and the rescue of his family. As he travels, he learns to become more human and gain experience.

Simon (Hawaii: Part II/Miracle Musical)
"I promise you, this dude is in EVERY Spiral and Distortion playlist ever. The album tells an ambiguous story, but this trilogy of tracks within is the most obviously Spiral fable ever that isn't from TMA itself. He is a liar and he is deluded: he is a perpetrator and a victim. Every single possible Spiral motif imaginable appears in his story, both aesthetically and thematically.
Simon talks about himself in third-person in the song Murders, and describes himself "in the forest looking to see the trees, but none were there" and seeking the "fountain of infinite mirror", presumably some fractalline Spiral artifact. Simon finds a girl and is paranoid of "terrors or none were there" & a "shadow of nobody there".
In the song "The Mind Electric", he finds himself on trial for the murder of this girl, which he may or may not have commited - he's an unreliable narrator. He pleads insanity, which may or may not be true, and the judge who appears as a holy figure sentences him to electroshock treatment. His brain is fried and he deludes himself into thinking all the hospital workers are holy people and "spiraling down thy majesty". The song's climax is a cry from him: "Someone help me understand what's going on inside my mind / Doctor, I can't tell if I'm not me", before spurting out incoherent phrases.
In the song Labyrinth, Simon retreats into a mind palace in the form of an ever-shifting maze of impossible geometry. He imagines a woman's voice calling: "See how I circle / Imaginary mind, imaginary lines / Let the maze of my design carry you on".
And then he gets time-travel powers and causes 9/11 or something? I dunno, it's a very ambiguous album."
Adam Smith (Torchwood)
"Adam is an alien that can only exist through the memories of others, so he infiltrates the Torchwood team and makes them all think he’s been their trusted teammate for years when really it hasn’t even been two days. Adam uses this memory power to distract the team from discovering he’s not real by variously invoking memories of one’s long-lost brother, inducing false insecurities in one, making one in a relationship with him with all the non-con vibes that entails, making one forget her fiancé, and making the one who was closest to catching him believe he’d murdered three women and that Adam was his savior and accomplice. He wove himself so deeply into the team that the only way to get rid of him was to take amnesia pills to entirely erase those two days, leaving the team unnerved and uncertain of what they had done that was so bad they couldn’t remember it"

Researchers at the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab have achieved a significant breakthrough in the field of molecular property prediction. By introducing the Grammar-Induced Geometry Framework, the researchers address the challenge of curating labeled data for developing accurate deep-learning models. This framework leverages a learnable hierarchical molecular grammar to capture structure-level similarity, paving the way for data-efficient property prediction crucial for drug discovery and material sciences. The framework demonstrated its excellency for large datasets and extremely limited data, outperforming supervised and pre-trained Graph Neural Networks. This article delves into the Grammar-Induced Geometry Framework, its advantages, and its potential implications.
Fundamentally the framework is based on Grammar-induced Geometry that graphically represents the space of molecules, and every path spanning the root to leaf delineates a grammar production sequence that prompts a particular molecule. Just like following grammar rules, we can formulate diverse sentences, in formal language theory, grammar depicts a set of production rules formulating the procedure of building validated strings from a language’s alphabet. For instance, two molecular structures having a similar substructure would use the same sequence of grammar production rules.

Haha! Makes sense. 🤓

MER: THE GREAT PYRMID OF GIZA
The Great Pyramid Of Giza Known as Mer to the ancient Kemites is the most enigmatic structure on the face of the planet. Mer which translates to the “Place of Ascension” is the only surviving wonder of the ancient world and has inspired much speculation as to why it was built and what was its function.
According the the ancient Kemites themselves the Pyramids served as a ritual center for the Per Ankh schools of initiation. The Kings and Queens chambers were designed to harness resonance frequencies to induce higher states of conciousness. The structure of the pyramid was designed using sacred geometry which allowed the structures to tap into the subtle energies of the earth and the cosmos. The ancients harnessed this enegery for a number of purposes. It is said that the Pharaohs would use the Mer structures which were incased in highly reflective white limestone, capped with gold to "Turn night into day". A feat of such greatness would surely ensure their names and legacies would live on for thousands of years. They were right.
The mathematical accuracy and astronomical information encoded into the structure has baffled scientists for decades. The great pyramid is aligned within three sixtieths of a degree of true north, a more accurate alignment than any other structure on earth. It is not only aligned almost perfectly to the cardinal points, but its placement on the earth is intentional as well placing it directly in the center of the world's landmass.
The level of technological sophistication used to build this great monument far exceeds the capabilities of today’s greatest minds and we could not build anything close to the great pyramid today even with our perceived advanced technology and building machinery. The ancient Kemites did not use the inch as they do in our modern system.
They used the royal cubit which is one 25 millionth of the polar diameter of the earth which is the exact distance from the north to the south pole. If you chop that distance into 25 million pieces you get the royal cubit.
The length of a base side at the base socket level is 9,131 inches which translates to 365.242 royal cubits. This just happens to be the earthly year right down to a quarter day. The measurements of the length and width of the perimeter of the great pyramid corresponds to an exact fraction of both the longitude and latitude measurements at the equator. Scaled up this means the great pyramid directly corresponds to the circumference of the equator as well as the measurements from the equator to the pole, making it a scale model of the northern hemisphere.
If you take the location of the Great pyramid as a coordinate this number sequence matches the speed of light traveling through space measurement in meters per second. None of this is a coincidence and the vast information encoded about the earth and its relation to the cosmos points to the fact that these ancient Africans were far more advanced than we could ever imagine and the methods in which they collected and incorporated these high sciences into their structures and cities still escape scientists today.
Today I give thanks to the ancient Kemites and those that came before for their contributions of Mathematics, Sacred Geometry, Architecture & Astronomy. I am grateful for these gifts you gave to the world.

Attosecond core-level spectroscopy reveals real-time molecular dynamics
Chemical reactions are complex mechanisms. Many different dynamical processes are involved, affecting both the electrons and the nucleus of the present atoms. Very often the strongly coupled electron and nuclear dynamics induce radiation-less relaxation processes known as conical intersections. Such dynamics, which are at the basis of many biological and chemical relevant functions, are extremely difficult to experimentally detect.
The problem arises when one tries to simultaneously trace the nuclear and electronic motion, as their dynamics are hard to disentangle and they occur at comparable ultrafast timescales. That is why, in the past few years, capturing the molecular dynamical evolution in real-time has turned into one of the most burning challenges shared by physicists and chemists.
However, in a recent Nature Photonics publication, ICFO researchers Dr. Stefano Severino, Dr. Maurizio Reduzzi, Dr. Adam Summers, Hung-Wei Sun, Ying-Hao Chien led by the ICREA Prof. at ICFO Jens Biegert, together with theory support by Dr. Karl Michael Ziems and Prof. Stefanie Gräfe from the Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, have presented a powerful tool based on attosecond core-level spectroscopy to investigate molecular dynamics in real-time, which is capable to overcome the aforementioned challenges.
They have benchmarked their method tracing the evolution of gas-phase furan, an organic molecule made of carbon, hydrogen and one oxygen arranged in a pentagonal geometry. Its cyclic structure gives this kind of species the name of chemical “ring”. The choice was not arbitrary, as furan is the prototypical system for the study of heterocyclic organic rings, the essential constituents of many different day-to-day products such as fuels, pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Knowing their dynamics and relaxation processes is thus of huge importance.
Life history of furan unlocked
The team was able to time-resolve the details of the entire ring-opening dynamics of furan, that is, the fission of the bond between one carbon and the oxygen, which breaks its cyclic structure. To do it, they had to track the so-called conical intersections (CI), ultrafast gateways between different energy states that furan undertakes in its evolution towards ring-opening.
In their experiment, a light beam (the pump pulse) first excited the furan molecule. Then, an attosecond and much weaker pulse (the probe) was used to monitor the pump-induced changes in the sample. After the initial photoexcitation, the three expected conical intersections were located in time by analysing the changes in the absorption spectrum as a function of the delay between pump and probe. The appearance and disappearance of absorption features, as well as their oscillatory behaviour, provide signatures of the changes in the electronic state of furan.
On top of that, they could see that the passage through the first CI transition generates a quantum superposition between the initial and final electronic states, which manifested in the form of quantum beats. This ultrafast-phenomenon, which can only be explained using quantum theory, was extremely hard to identify in previous experiments. The second CI was in principle even more challenging to capture, as the final electronic state does not emit nor absorb photons (it is an optically dark state) and thus its detection through conventional methods is extremely demanding. Nevertheless, in this case their platform performed the task as well as before.
After that, the ring-opening was supposed to occur and the team’s equipment was victorious again in its detection. The passage of the molecule from a closed to an open ring geometry implies a symmetry breaking that is imprinted in the absorption spectrum. The spectroscopic tool used by the researchers demonstrated to be extremely sensitive to the nuclear structure, and the ring-opening manifested itself as the appearance of new absorption peaks.
Finally, the molecule relaxed into the ground state (the lowest molecular orbital available) through the third conical intersection, whose transition was again accurately time-resolved.
The success of attosecond core-level absorption spectroscopy
All in all, Biegert and his group have proposed and successfully reported on a new analytical methodology to unveil the complex and intricated process that is molecular ring opening in its native ultrafast timescale. The combined high temporal resolution and coherent energy spectrum of their cutting-edge technique allowed them not only to track the transitions of furan across conical intersections, but also to identify electronic and nuclear coherences, quantum beats, optically dark states and symmetry changes, providing an extremely detailed picture of the whole relaxation process.
It is important to highlight that the power of attosecond core-level spectroscopy is not limited to this particular molecule, but consists in a general tool designed to be employed with other species too. Therefore, this new mechanism can bring to light the complex dynamics of relevant functions, such as the photoprotection mechanism of the DNA basis. Furthermore, the researchers identify the manipulation of efficient molecular reaction and energy relaxation dynamics as some of the most promising applications for their work.

Your tags made me curious, how would one get into playing Doom with barely any previous experience on such games?
the Chocolate Doom source port (so called because it's not Vanilla Doom, but very close to it) is free to download and supports a lot of total conversion mods if you want. i'd recommend trying mouse look if the original control scheme is too old school for you.
additionally, doom 1+2 have solid ports on platforms such as the nintendo switch if that's your thing.
my general doom 1+2 tips for new players who are more used to modern games are as follows:
hitscanning vs. projectiles: some enemies will 'hitscan' you, which means when they point a gun at you the game will instantaneously scan to see if it hits; there's no dodging if you're in that line of fire at that moment. a projectile, like a fireball, can be dodged if you get out of the way in time. other examples of projectiles are plasma shots and rockets.
that all said: hitscan enemies are a high priority! this is boomer shooter 101; be it the hitscan cultists from Blood, or the chaingunners from Doom, they aren't playing around!
some player projectiles, like the rockets, deal splash damage. keep this in mind; sometimes you don't want to aim for a direct hit.
enemies can be induced to infighting. if you, say, kite an imp's fireballs into a pinky, it will damage it and they may turn on each other.
keep moving! moving, especially circle strafing, is the key to classic doom encounters. you need to bamboozle the hitscanners by breaking up their line of sight, and break up the straight vectors of projectiles.
you cannot jump in doom like in other shooters, and modern players may find this jarring. however, there is a slight bit of time in midair before you start to fall, and a lot of the game is actually designed around this engine limitation. in order to get between two platforms a short distance from each other, you just need to run off of one at the other at high speed. if they're close enough, you'll reach the other platform before you fall.
enemies have pain states, this can be observed in their animations. while for example the super shotgun may damage enemies faster, some are better dealt with by interrupting their attacks with constant damage from a weapon like the chaingun. note which enemies can be stunlocked, how they can be stunlocked, and which enemies *need* to be stunlocked.
the y axis is sheared and you gotta get some practice in with not necessarily aiming up or down, but triggering the game to aim up or down for you. you get a feel over time for when this is going to happen.
save frequently. if you die, you will be forced to restart the level with just the pistol (called 'pistol starting') and the first time a new player learns that will be frustrating.
use the minimap often, and take note of where secrets might be. on higher difficulties, the extra stuff you get in secrets (getting a strong weapon a level or two early, megaarmor, etc) are actually required to keep up.
secrets can often be found by running along walls/level geometry and mashing the use key (this has been lovingly phrased 'wall humping' because of the null sound the player makes when mashing 'use')
pro tip for the cyberdemon: shoot at it until it dies

“I am fascinated by natural forms and their order resulting from geometry, mechanics and physical tension. To logical structure/cosmos, I add feeling/chaos. A permanent sense of loss is a fundamental emotion that drives me.. and beauty is equivalent to a loss- freezing of moments in sculpture is a way to trick time and postpone the inevitable.” The emotive and expressive sculptures created by @goornicki.tomasz touch our hearts and souls. This piece highlights ‘counterphobia’ that leads to actively seeking out anxiety- and fear-inducing situations instead of avoiding them. — #beautifulbizarre #tomaszgornicki #sculpture #artist #sculptor #art #figurativeart #counterphobia #mentalhealth #newcontemporary #contemporaryart #contemporarysculpture https://www.instagram.com/p/CoFM_G3I0ha/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

i say i like topology but actually i basically only like metric topology. so its more like geometry. god i love geometry. one of these days im gonna trap one of the geo professors here in a conversation and make them answer this one question that's been bouncing around in my head for ages (can you have a continuous family (like, homotopy but for a whole manifold. is that still homotopy or is that just paths) of isometric embeddings into R^N of some underlying manifold that aren't isometric in R^N (like, the induced metric on them is the same, but youre not just rotating the manifold or whatever))
