CHANGELINGS. “Importantly, the superposition state can change over time because the components evolve differently (Fig. 1). For example, a neutrino that was produced as purely muon-flavoured can become partly an electron neutrino.” https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-01000-9 View in LinkedIn

NEW FINDING. “Since their discovery, neutrino oscillations have been analysed in several experiments, but only in the past few years have tiny oscillations from muon neutrinos to electron neutrinos been observed.” https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-01000-9 View in LinkedIn

CONSEQUENCES. “The probability of this oscillation occurring is small, but it holds the key to leptonic CP violation: if CP symmetry is conserved, the oscillation probability for muon-to-electron neutrino conversion would be the same as that for muon-to-electron antineutrino conversion.” (CP = charge-conjugation parity-reversal). https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-01000-9 View in LinkedIn

THE OMINOUS NUMINOUS. “The sense of presence considered here is an 'other' that is radically different from, and hence more than a mere projection of, the self. Such a numinous sense of otherness may constitute a primordial core consciousness of the animate and sentient in the world around us.” https://lnkd.in/e8k2TGHC View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE continues from last weekend and concludes this weekend on the moiré interference caused by stacks of imperfect graphene and their tremendous applications. Carbon is now threatening to augment or displace silicone electronics. It is no accident that the strange properties of this atom resulted in carbon-based life. View in LinkedIn

ACCIDENTAL ERRORS. “Even if perfect graphene is able to be manufactured, subsequent integration or assembly processes into functional computing systems continues to create imperfections in graphene.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.1557/s43577-021-00135-y View in LinkedIn

INTENTIONAL ERRORS. “This article focuses on recent demonstrations of graphene-based advanced electronics which operation mechanisms rely on imperfections in graphene. Examples of imperfections in graphene include dopants, stacking mismatch, atomic-level defects.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.1557/s43577-021-00135-y View in LinkedIn

BREAKTHROUGH. “In 2017, monolithic integration of a graphene–silicon camera microchip was demonstrated for the first time. Such integration was made possible by transferring the graphene sheet from its copper growth substrate to silicon read-out circuitry.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.1557/s43577-021-00135-y View in LinkedIn

BEYOND SILICON. “The graphene integration on a silicon read-out circuitry, commonly used in mobile phones, has extended the operation wavelengths of image sensors in digital cameras, from visible and short wave infrared light (300–2000 nm), which was not achievable with pure silicon technology.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.1557/s43577-021-00135-y View in LinkedIn
