- A homemade particle collider! This collider accelerates electrons to nearly 1.5 eV before smashing them into carbon atoms (10 trillion times less energy than the LHC!)
- As a PhD candidate at one of the world's top physics institutions, here is my daily routine:
- this is gonna be avengers endgame for physicistsFirst look at Albert Einstein in Christopher Nolan’s ‘OPPENHEIMER’.
- sigh ... another day without using f=ma. we should be teaching kids THE STANDARD MODEL in schools instead.
- fun fact: there are more grains of sand on all the beaches of earth combined than there are electrons in the entire universe
- hard to believe that 1 was 2021 years ago
- post doc? don't you mean 22nd grade
- To celebrate hitting 40k followers, it's finally time for me to show my face! My name is Sanjana (@sanjanacurtis) and I'm an astrophysicist at UChicago!
- never take advice. if the person is alive then it's technically survivorship bias
