This comes as a confirmation of what *every* educator, either in academia or school knew all along ⤵️

I still write *everything* down with a pen on paper ... Even shopping lists sometimes 😄

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays.

Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn.

To test antimatter more precisely, CERN scientists moved trapped protons on a truck to escape magnetic noise and improve antimatter tests. The trap stayed cold and stable without power for hours, and the protons remained confined. No particles were lost during the trip.

I know it’s childish but always make me laugh as in Italian the meaning of that word is veeeery different. Can also be a reason to study in Sweden :)

Microscope objectives can be confusing, and detailed specs (or even basic properties) are often hard to find. Here's an introductory resource to help new builders and instrument designers with the basics. It's a work in progress so feedback is appreciated:
