Never Be Blocked: Keep a Writer's Notebook

When I was 11, I was given a little five-year diary with a lock and key. I wrote the usual pre-pubescent stuff in it, a few lines a day, most days. http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/creating-in-flow/200810/never-be-blocked-keep-writers-notebook

Quantum mechanics

Quantum mechanics (QM – also known as quantum physics , or quantum theory ) is a branch of physics dealing with physical phenomena at microscopic scales, where the action is on the order of the Planck constant . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics
Jan. 31, 2011 — Inspired by the popular confidence trick known as "shell game," researchers at UC Santa Barbara have demonstrated the ability to hide and shuffle "quantum-mechanical peas" -- microwave single photons -- under and between three microwave resonators, or "quantized shells."

The Infinity of Quantum Physics

In quantum mechanics , the uncertainty principle is any of a variety of mathematical inequalities asserting a fundamental limit to the precision with which certain pairs of physical properties of a particle known as complementary variables, such as position x and momentum p , can be known simultaneously.

8 shocking things we learned from Stephen Hawking's book

From the idea that our universe is one among many, to the revelation that mathematician Pythagoras didn't actually invent the Pythagorean theorem, here are eight shocking things we learned from reading physicist Stephen Hawking's new book, "The Grand Design," written with fellow physicist Leonard Mlodinow of Caltech. The book, covering major questions about the nature and origin of the universe, was released Sept. 7 by its publisher, Bantam. 1.

Nanotube yarn makes self-cleaning clothes that are also batteries

By turning powders into fibers using carbon nanotube webs, researchers at the University of Texas have managed to make yarn that can clean itself and work as a battery. It also happens to be a superconductor, but most importantly, it's machine-washable. You may not think about it, but a lot of the cool technologies that we depend on every day rely on powders to work. Lithium ion batteries, for example, use a fine powder with a huge surface area as an electrode to store energy.
