ARDUINO SCIENCE JOURNAL

This looks great, really useful to be able to easily record results from science experiments.

A pocket-sized science lab that encourages students to explore how the world works, record data, document observations, and experiment like a real scientist.

This lecture is really interesting and especially if you are studying science, even at GSCE level the explanation(s) around the electromagnetic spectrum, absorption and emission lines are really good and the lecture is a good way to see the context on how this is used.

Astatine as an anti cancer treatment

I found an interesting article entitled Astatine is a chemistry puzzle that shows anticancer promise so decided to try and build the molecule cited in the article from Molymods.

I am not too sure if I have done this correctly so am asking putting all the information here in the hope someone can perhaps help and advise further.

My main concern here is between the C6H4At – and N2 part, I have had to put in a carbon as I would assume the angle between the two indicates a carbon atom. This has left 2 Bonds free so not sure if I am meant to attach Hydrogen here.

So hopefully the above illustrates what I have built, so question is simply is this correct.

There is a thread on Science forums to discuss further here

Physics news 4th August 2020

I asked about this on Twitter earlier. More to ask if I was right in thinking a dimuon was two muons together.

The full article can be found below.

CERN experiments announce first indications of a rare Higgs boson process.

Lots of interesting things happening at FermiLab then.

“US CMS is very proud to acknowledge the significant impact made by its members in deploying innovative analysis techniques, including cutting-edge AI methods, which were critical in establishing the evidence for Higgs boson decays into a muon and antimuon pair,”

It may be an idea to have an understanding, or a copy of the standard model of particle physics to hand.

This is also being discussed on the qoto discourse instance. Where there is also an updated standard model graphic.

You may also find Science Forums a good place to discuss.

This has also prompted me to try and figure out how to typeset the basic equation in LaTeX.

\$$H\longrightarrow \mu^{–} + \overline{\mu^{+}} $

So to quote the $\textit{news.fnal.gov}$ website
