Really something to see the second stage engine glow red in the vacuum of space, a result of the heat dumped into the material causing the atoms in the material to emit radiation just in the visible human spectrum (red). That puts the temp at about 2000K. https://t.co/9MBGbTotuE -

From ATLASexperiment https://twitter.com/ATLASexperiment on Twitter: Light-by-light scattering is a very rare process in which particles of light interact and change direction. In a new result presented at #LHCP2020, ATLAS used - scattering to search for an exciting new phenomenon: #axion-like particles.

I've been in the ATLAS Experiment for about 10 years and it still boggles my mind that it takes about 10 hours to simulate the detector's response to particles from 100 proton-proton collisions. (not bunch collisions - p-p collisions) -

Enjoy the work of the Spring 2020 @SMUPhysics Honors Physics students. Their investigations into the physics of video games, using introductory physics concepts, is available online: https://t.co/ZL1dqDY2sm We can't have an in-person poster night, so enjoy this digital one. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1257737897962332161/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/65093 -
