The experiment more accurately models what happens in these plasma disks, which could help researchers discover how black holes grow and how collapsing matter forms stars.
As matter approaches black holes it heats up, becoming plasma—a fourth state of matter consisting of charged ions and free electrons. It also begins to rotate, in a structure called an accretion disk. The rotation causes a centrifugal force pushing the plasma outwards, which is balanced by the gravity of the black hole pulling it in.
These glowing rings of orbiting plasma pose a problem—how does a black hole grow if the material is stuck in orbit rather than falling into the hole? The leading theory is that instabilities in magnetic fields in the plasma cause friction, causing it to lose energy and fall into the black hole.
The primary way of testing this has been using liquid metals that can be spun, and seeing what happens when magnetic fields are applied. However, as the metals must be contained within pipes, they are not a true representation of free-flowing plasma.
Now, researchers at Imperial have used their Mega Ampere Generator for Plasma Implosion Experiments machine (MAGPIE) to spin plasma in a more accurate representation of accretion disks. Details of the experiment are published May 12 in the journal Physical Review Letters.

Hot take but if I buy something I think I should own it :/
#Yes this is about digital vs physical media.#I hate digital games and movies I hate subscription services I hate not having a physical tangible disk#If I buy something I don't want a license to use it I want an actual copy of the product!!#No I don't want to subscribe to clip studio to keep getting updates! I hesitated buying the damn thing digitally! I wanted a fucking disk!!#I don't want to subscribe to a game or anything I just wanna buy it (and it should work without needing to download half the damn thing!)#I want disks and cartridges and boxes!!!#I want to own what I purchase without a company threatening to go offline and make me lose access to what I got!!#I want to go to best buy and buy software in a box!! Please!!#ok rant over#I just get mad at the current state of technology sometimes.#Rant on planned obsolescence likely coming soon lol

Another day another autistic urge to start a long-term project downloading and making physical copies of every game for every obsolete abandonware console in the interest of preservation of technological history
#from the desk of anachron#I'm talking thousands of physical disks and cartridges#and refurbished consoles

*pulling in bg3 fans by the collar* hey did u know that believing the way the fandom treats wyll is deeply rooted in racism and believing that wyll is one of the less compelling companions due to his weak narrative arc and lack of character agency are two worldviews you can hold at the same time. they are not mutually exclusive.
#i'm just saying.#never look a disk horse in the mouth and all that but man am i tired#wyll is a prime example of a character the story happens to and it makes me SO MAD because he has so much potential#they could've made him this headstrong idealist who's beliefs are shaken to the bone and has him questioning his own motivations#they could've had him obsessed with appearances and having to come to terms with how he physically and mentally changes over the game#they could've had him so black and white thinking in his ideas of good and evil that he does bad things in the name of justice#and has to live with the consequences#no wyll is not the only companion with an underbaked story arc#but he is the one i'm most annoyed by#babygirl is in desperate need of a well articulated internal character flaw and his story really suffers for it#anyway sorry hon better lucky next time getting chosen on my mission to romance everyone who crosses into my camp#bg3

Toxic Invaders Floppies 💾✨
It's now been two years since @sarahbduck and I completed our first game, Toxic Invaders. It's a co-op bullet hell made with the Pico-8!
To celebrate our first big project together, I made these physical copies of the game shortly after the release. The coloured ones are a very limited set while the monochrome have had over 60 made.
Each floppy has multiple builds of the game, the soundtrack, and a tiny HTML page. It was a challenge to fit it all on a 1.44MB disk, but Sarah did some cool compression on nearly all of the files.

Media: Floppy Disks
Not born to be rich, by 1981 I had nonetheless begun to use a PC that required for its operation the absorption of several hundred pages of protocols and the placement of very large floppy disks in the freezer to fix frequent crashes.

the story may be silly but this stat breakdown is even sillier
#like. help me.. that’s so funny just look at this..;#what if you had garbage everything. and then absolutely ridiculous physical defense#like#???#why does it need all that#aren’t there more special ghost or dark attacks than physical. i at least thought there were#or psychic cuz it’s poison#wouldn’t special defense be more useful#it has to mean something like it’s probably in reference to some aspect of the pokémon’s concept#i feel like having high physical defense makes sense logically for like steel or rock types#or really any big and bulky creature#but this is not only a little guy it is a FRUIT. a peach. that thing should bruise easily#unless we’re talking about a peach pit#but like even then. that is just silly#and again why not give it a half decent attack/special attack lol#oh well protection against earthquake i guess#sv dlc spoilers#teal mask/indigo disk#pokémon

You know what, I’ll say it. I kinda resent that the main BG3 box art/promo art has Mizora on it and not Karlach. Like, well aware that it was made before Karlach was added as an origin character, but surely there was enough time to get an updated piece made between her addition and launch. Get it together, Larian.
#I know I know she’s on the disk and she and Durge are the only ones on the box for the PC disk#my point stands!!! most people are gonna see the Xbox and PS5 boxes though. when it comes to physical editions#and secondly! they’ve made that art a loading screen!!! where is she!!!!#she’s not a spoiler you can see her in the fucking CC#it’s just fucking STUPID#baldurs gate 3
