More nuclear energy industry is coming to New Mexico. Traditionally, nuclear in NM has meant "nuclear weapons", more so than almost anywhere else. But Kairos is betting big on benefits from being near the labs, for energy and not weapons #NukeSkywww.neimagazine.com/news/kairos-...

In grad school we would joke that you solve any real physics problem by doing a Fourier transform, Taylor expand, and integrate by parts, until a prof told us "unironically yes" and I think about that any time someone claims physics is some mystical big-brained science

It is much, much easier to do a Fourier transform than to figure out why someone is having seizures.

Simultaneous single-particle uranium isotopic determination and fluorine detection is a useful new capability for nonproliferation and international safeguards. UF6 is the chemical form used in uranium enrichment, a key step in the nuclear fuel cycle #NukeSkyphys.org/news/2024-09... 🧪

Simultaneous detection of uranium isotopes and fluorine advances nuclear nonproliferation monitoring
Simultaneous detection of uranium isotopes and fluorine advances nuclear nonproliferation monitoring

Combining two techniques, analytical chemists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have become the first to detect fluorine and different isotopes of uranium in a single particl...

Occasionally I open up LinkedIn intending to post (I'm early career, gotta play the game) but then I scroll for a few minutes and declare "THIS PLACE IS NOT A PLACE OF HONOR" and throw my phone into a canyon for a while. Happens every time!

Try this one weird trick to generate clean power from strange rocks >>>

A picture of Enrico Fermi, who lead the development of the world's first nuclear reactor, Chicago Pile 1. The text is in the style of a clickbait ad on a sketchy website. At the top, it says "Fossil Fuel Companies Hate Him!" in red text, and below "Scientist dividers weird new trick to clean abundant energy. Click Here >>>"
