Since I am working in the XRD/XRF/XAS space, what are the multimodal techniques that you see as the most beneficial ones to complement the x-ray measurements? If you can tell, I would also be interested what your field of research is :)

That is the advantage of the size! There is little chance you will forget that you have the device in your pocket =P

EUMEL maybe? https://6xq.net/eumel/ (Z80, M68000 and later x86 as well)

I know, that this doesn't help really, but in plasma physics as well as when dealing with degenerate matter and such 8 and 3 are the same number. Most of the time a scientist in these fields is happy to get the order of magnitude right! ;P

New comment by cydodon in "You got a null result. Will anyone publish it?"

A preprint will still give less value to the negative result. No peer review (being a broken system or not) and not being published in a "proper" journal will make it less likely that the results will be recognised / accepted. The whole point is, that a negative result can have as much value as a positive one...

well... it's not always night time... it's not always clear skies.. it's not often that a power outage happens in my city to actually see the stars...

If measurement of the soul's weight gave 21, that can only be half of the answer[0], right?

...somewhat off topic... I seem to remember a JavaScript based system that could be installed on (old) mobile phones. This way one had easy access to all the phones sensors, wifi and could build simple GUIs to repurpose the phone. Does anyone know how it is called or where I can find something similar? Thanks =)

hmm... if you trigger other actions with these emails you are halfway into the plot of "Deamon" by Daniel Suarez ;)

I was wondering, can't you count to 144 (12 x 12) using two hands using this knuckle counting approach?

"The" EU is not a monolithic thing, there are liberal and conservative factions. Depending on the topic the resulting consensus can move quite a bit on that spectrum...

If I got this right, the authors have the data accessible here for now:

[...]The data is stored in H5 format to enable interactive examination using Neuroglancer (https://github.com/google/neuroglancer; https://zenodo.org/record/5573294#.ZCrkIezMIvo)
