Forget Electronics: Here Come “Orbitronics”
Electronic devices like phones, tablets, and laptops can contribute to the worldwide problem of electronic waste, or e-waste. While experts are working to make these devices more environmentally friendly, a new advancement at the fundamental level of the electron could provide a much-needed solution. Enter “Orbitronics.”Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland and the Max Planck Institutes in Germany have found a way to harness a property of electrons known as “orbital angular momentum,” which could open the door to a whole new type of technology known as “orbitronics.” This result, which was achieved using experiments conducted at the Swiss Light Source (SLS) and was published in Nature Physics, could help make electronic devices of the future more environmentally friendly.

Los de Cepsa han decidido cambiar de nombre y convertirse en una empresa ecologista que va a salvar el planeta.
Y no se les ocurre mejor día que hoy, mientras lloramos a los muertos por la DANA brutal producida por el calentamiento global, para poner en marcha una campaña publicitaria que está entre la astracanada y reírse en nuestra cara...

With health inevitably absorbing a larger share of GDP, keeping the overall current public spending share roughly flat is not going to end austerity, or reduce poverty.
You enter a rank, dark brown room. There is a BUTTON near the door. You see a DOOR HINGE here, in the window. There is a POKÉMON TRAINER here, posting on social media.

It started with a small cutting from the park next to our apartment last year.
And now it is growing into a very big and beautiful plant with lots of babies (I have cit most of them and going to use them in the hydroponic tower I am building to give to my friend in Lyon.
PS. The pot and the holder are also items I found on the street 🥳🥳

in reply to Andrew Pam • • •Electrons move around the nucleus of an atom in certain paths or “orbits,”
How does this differ from electron valence? And if it is valence we are talking about, we have entered the world of chemistry.

in reply to Andrew Pam • • •they discovered that the signal wasn’t just reflecting the orbital motion directly. Instead, it was rotating around the monopoles in a predictable pattern.
This is interesting. It seems somewhat analogous to magnetism - but it's at a lower level of operation.
