Wandering Adventure Party

Not me. I switched to using hydrogen decades ago.

We only know what we can measure. We don’t really know what an atomic nucleus looks like, for example. We can only measure what happens when another particle hits it. Between measurements, it might not even be real. We don’t even know what measurement is.

Pick your favorite quantum interpretation: Copenhagen, Broglie–Bohm, Many Worlds. We’ll probably never know the truth.

Spectroscopic tests revealed ultrafast spin conversion and nearly 99% triplet-energy transfer, marking an unprecedented level of control over exciton dynamics.

Ah, yes. I see. 99% triplet-energy transfer. Good, good.

Does making vitamin D using sunlight count as photosynthesis?

I can go one step further. They provided their own handy summary.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:

• The longest-lived mammals on Earth, bowhead whales, contain longevity secrets that scientists hope could be applied to our own biology.
• A new study analyzes gene repairing proteins and found that bowhead whales contain 100 times the concentration of CIRBP, a protein that repairs genetic damage known as double-strand breaks.
• They also found that the specimens subjected to colder temperatures tended to produce more of these proteins, a nifty trick for a species that lives in arctic waters.

I like shichimi togarashi, myself. It’s got seaweed flakes, sesame seeds, and roasted orange peel, plus the peppers. It’s really good on rice, pasta, and ramen.
