When Hangul was invented, Korean was tonal and Hangul accounted for this with diacritics. Apparently some dialects of Korean are still tonal. https://autolingual.com/korean-tones/

This is true for NiCd batteries, not for Li-ion. In general, LiIon degrades at a rate roughly linear to state of charge when not in use.

To get the 1000x figure, the research is comparing photocurrents from bulk BTO and their special crystal-aligned BTO at a specific wavelength of incident light (306nm). They also compare photocurrents under a solar simulator and achieve 100

I had a very mathy explanation of Spinodal Decomposition in my graduate work. I wonder if there's a more intuitive explanation than just "that's how the energy landscape works".

A square carbon lattice would be very unstable. Carbon can support up to 4 single bonds, but they have to be arranged in a tetrahedral symmetry (sp3). 4-member carbon rings exist in some compounds, but they are unstable and reactive. Flat c

The sun heats the carbon nanotube caps, which turn the water into steam. The CNTs absorb light efficiently because they absorb >99.5% of the visible spectrum and transform water into steam efficiently due to their hydrophobicity and high

I believe you are conflating Nitric Oxide (NO) with Nitric Oxide Radicals (NO•). While Nitric Oxide isn't stable in the presence of Oxygen, Nitric Oxide Radicals will react with pretty much any species they come into contact with. From

I used a method somewhat similar to this as an undergraduate researcher to cheaply develop patterns on copper-clad kapton for flexible circuits. I used a solid ink printer, which I found by crawling the university network for printers and q

I've been getting into acrylics recently. I'm wondering why you recommend Ivory/Carbon Black over Iron/Mars Black? I currently only have Mars Black so I'm curious how Carbon Black is different.

Blood flows in veins due to contractions of surrounding muscle. When you're sitting, your lower body is largely relaxed, which causes blood to pool in your lower body. It's a serious (acute) issue in people who are bedridden for l

I'm not sure if this is true or not after looking around at news stories for a while. There was, for example, some uncertainty about whether or not a train line could sue the family of a man with dementia who was hit by a train [1]. Ho

What you're describing is Reverse Osmosis - pushing salt water through a water permeable, salt impermeable membrane. It requires very large pressures, on the order of 2-30 atmospheres of pressure. The membranes used are incredibly chea

Couldn't that just be done directly on the netlist, though? I suppose this makes it easier to operate on the netlist, but I imagine there are netlist manipulation libraries that would also accomplish that task.
