After a hundred years, the field of quantum mechanics still has much to cause us to ponder. Nevertheless, science has progressed, and we know more than we used to know. Among the things that have progressed are the modern understandings of past experiments in the context of quantum field theory. Some of the things we […]
Read MoreArthur C. Clarke famously stated that “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Most of us have experienced this law with respect to the latest iterations of large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4. This perspective may lead to incorrect usage of LLMs, resulting in undesirable and dangerous effects such as privacy violations, proliferation […]
Read MoreWhat is the topic of the book? Measurement is one of the most fascinating and misunderstood aspects of quantum physics. It plays no role in classical physics, other than reducing ignorance about the underlying reality. In quantum physics measurement plays a fundamental role, and the choice of what kind of measurement you choose to do […]
Read MoreI had a memorable library day trying to find an answer to a question that is simple to formulate: what is a theoretical value of energy and heat capacity of a classical liquid? I looked through all textbooks dedicated to liquids as well as statistical physics and condensed matter textbooks in the Rayleigh Library at […]
Read MoreRudolf Weigl, a Polish biologist who invented the first effective vaccine against typhus, called a practice of publishing many papers a ‘duck shit’: just as ducks leave a lot of traces while walking about in the yard, scientists hastily publish articles with partial results that are the product of undeveloped thought. This is one of the unfortunate outcomes of the evaluation game in today’s science, where researchers attempt to follow various evaluation rules and meet metrics-based expectations.
Read MoreA revolution has been underway for several decades, transforming materials engineering from costly and time-consuming process of trial-and-error experimental “materials by discovery” to “intelligent materials design” enabled by computational tools, CALPHAD (Calculation of phase diagrams)-type scientific databases (also named as Materials Genome database), and calculation-guided experiments.
Read More“I know a person when I talk to it.” With these words Google engineer Blake Lemoine made headlines in June 2022, thinking that a Google chatbot had become sentient. Google did not appreciate these headlines, and Lemoine was fired. But what is remarkable about this incident is that, as of 2022, someone in the industry […]
