mad-as-a-marine-biologist:

This megamouth shark was fished in the Philippines on April 21, 2013. The megamouth shark (Megachasma pelagios) is an extremely rare species of deepwater shark, so rare that only over 50 sightings have been recorded since its discovery in 1976.

Of the now 56 megamouth sharks recorded worldwide, 11 specimens (20%, most numerous next to Japan) come from the Philippines.

The megamouth is the smallest of only three filter-feeding sharks (the others being whale sharks and basking sharks).

A Big Step Toward a Silicon Quantum Computer

Quantum computers could more easily become a reality if they incorporated the silicon semiconductor processing used by the modern electronics industry. Physicists in Australia have recently taken a new step toward that vision by reading and writing the nuclear spin state of a single phosphorus atom implanted in silicon.

In a breakthrough reported in the 18 April edition of the journal Nature, physicists have finally achieved an idea first proposed in 1998 by Bruce Kane, a physicist at the University of Maryland, in College Park. Such success could lead to quantum computers based on the same silicon-processing technology used for computer chips.

“What we are trying to do is demonstrate that there is a viable way to take the same physical platform and fabrication technology used to make any computer and mobile phone in the world, and twist it into a technology for quantum information processing,” says Andrea Morello, a quantum physicist at the University of New South Wales, in Australia.

Scientists envision quantum computers as the ideal devices for cracking modern encryption codes, searching through huge databases, and understanding the biological interactions of molecules and drugs. Quantum computing’s potential comes from harnessing the laws of quantum physics that allow the spin state of an electron or an atom’s nucleus to achieve “superposition”—existing in more than one state at a time. A classical computer bit can exist either as a 1 or a 0, but a quantum bit, or qubit, is capable of existing in multiple states at the same time.

With other quantum computing approaches, researchers have tried trapping and isolating atoms by using electromagnetic fields or superconductor materials. By comparison, Kane suggested harnessing the nuclear spin of phosphorus atoms embedded in a silicon crystal as a qubit.

Silicon-based quantum computing also offers long coherence times for electron and nuclear spins, Kane says. That means the electron spin states and nuclear spin states acting as qubits could hold on to their information for long periods of time, something that other quantum computing schemes have struggled with.

#Truth.:

‎”Don’t Cling to the Past: Not through regret. Not through longing. To do so is to tie yourself to a memory, for yesterday is gone. It is wisdom to profit by yesterday’s mistakes. It is fatal to hang onto yesterday’s victories. You limit yourself. The future should be expanding. Yesterday’s experiences are the foundation on which you build today. We can only act now and then look forward to more activity, greater fulfillment. To be haunted by past failures or satisfied with past successes is to arrest forward motion.” Conrad Hilton

I wish you knew
the underneath of me,
how I keep track of everything
and try to let everything go.

Kung may crush ka...:

galing ng banat mo,ramon!

ramonbautista:

Bigla mong ibanat “Huy! Alam mo ba, crush kita dati?” at ang bawat component nyan ay loaded.

Ganito:

Yung “Huy!”, ine-establish mo na pang tropa siya,

Yung “alam mo ba” pang start ng usap yan,

Yung “crush kita” ay isang paglalandi na totoo naman,

Yung “dati” ay isang patotoo din at safety feature,

At yung “?” ay isang punctuation mark na nagsasabi na kailangan nya mag reply at the same time, pwede ring rhetorical question yan.

Sa chat maganda i-banat yan kasi kapag sa message, malamang i-hahaha ka lang at ‘di ka makaresbak ng follow up question -pag naganun ka, disconnect o close agad ng window. Pag sa wall, baka pagtawanan ka lang ng mga mutual friends niyo, lalo na yung mga epal.

jhnmyr:

If you want to be truly intimidating,

If you want to make an impact,

If you want to have strong connections with others

just be sincere.

Sarcasm is not an attitude, and it’s not a personality trait. It’s a style of rhetoric meant to be used occasionally to highlight a larger point. Saying…
