FRAGMENT FROM NATURE focuses on a consideration of some of the ideas of the famous quantum physicist Niels Bohr, titled Are we living in a quantum world? Bohr and quantum fundamentalism. Bohr was a Danish physicist “who made foundational contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922. Bohr was also a philosopher and a promoter of scientific research.” A remarkable thinker by any standards. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niels_Bohr View in LinkedIn

PROGRAMMABLE FOODS. “Here, we devise meta-atoms with tailored fracture properties to control mouthfeel sensory experience.” https://lnkd.in/eD7iFAGi View in LinkedIn

COUPLED FIELDS. “The electric and magnetic dipole moments (p and m) of meta-atoms are not always independent. They can be mutually coupled, i.e. the both components of incident electromagnetic field (E and H) simultaneously induce p and m. This effect is usually called bianisotropy (BA).” https://lnkd.in/e5fJZNfb View in LinkedIn

PROGRAMMABLE METAMATERIALS. “In this way, many fascinating effects have already been demonstrated and explained such as non-radiating anapole effect, directional scattering, cloaking and invisibility effects.” https://lnkd.in/e5fJZNfb View in LinkedIn

NANOSCALE PROPERTIES. “As soon as the meta-atoms are usually sufficiently smaller than the wavelength, the scattered field can be well described by only the electric (ED) and magnetic (MD) dipoles that makes it extremely helpful to interpret and predict the optical properties of single meta-atoms and their ensembles.” https://lnkd.in/e5fJZNfb View in LinkedIn

BOHR’S FATHER, “Christian, became a professor of physiology at the University of Copenhagen and was nominated twice for the Nobel Prize. https://lnkd.in/eMqHUjMd View in LinkedIn

SUMMARY. “We show that the origin of bianisotropy is fully defined by the symmetry of the meta-atom rather than its size.” A strange and mystical paper. https://lnkd.in/e5fJZNfb View in LinkedIn

THE GENERAL ASSUMPTION. “Quantum Fundamentalism? Everything in the universe (if not the universe as a whole) is fundamentally of a quantum nature and ultimately describable in quantum-mechanical terms.” https://lnkd.in/eauD5rnp View in LinkedIn

CONCEPT. “General idea of multipolar bianisotropy. Vector spherical harmonics can be divided into even and odd under inversion operation. Inversion symmetry — No bianisotropy. No inversion symmetry — Bianisotropy.” https://lnkd.in/e5fJZNfb View in LinkedIn
