A CERES of fortunate events…

Real Climate

The CERES estimates of the top-of-atmosphere radiative fluxes are available from 2001 to the present. 2021) also reported on a two decade estimate of Earthshine measurements which appear to confirm a small decrease in albedo (and decrease in reflected short wave (SW) radiation). A paper last year (Goode et al.,

Majorana bosons could exist in dissipative systems, calculations suggest

Physics World

However, Majorana fermion quasiparticles – akin to “split” electrons – can theoretically be stable in systems such as superconductors, as predicted in 2001 by Alexei Kitaev , who is now at Caltech. With the possible exception of neutrinos, whose Majorana nature remains undetermined, a real Majorana fermion has never been discovered.

Could a conventional chair be a quantum measuring device?

Physics World

The first charge-transfer device to be developed was the Geiger counter , which became a practical instrument in 1928, and is still widely used to detect ionizing radiation. Another example of a phase-transformation QMD is the superconducting-nanowire single-photon detector , first reported by Gregory Gol’tsman and co-workers in 2001.
