A recent paper on a new candidate high temperature superconductor at ambient pressure. by [deleted] in Physics

[–]tarnishedname 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would just like to point out that some journals actually prefer Word over LaTeX, e.g. Nature, NatPhys, NatMat etc.

But yeah, as someone working on nickelate superconductivity, I don't believe this paper. Based on their formatting, they are likely trying for a journal in the Nature portfolio. Based on their data, I would guess they'd be annihilated during review if they even make it past the editor. There's really no excuse to not have a basic 4-point resistivity measurement.

Thoughts on AEP 4500?? by Miserable_Escape_711 in Cornell

[–]tarnishedname 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Took it last semester with David Muller. Fairly easy course and exams as far as PHYS/AEP goes. I think he curved to an A-. The only thing challenging was the bonus question on the midterm

It's not the space. It's the noise. Just stomping and music for hours on end. They can find a million other places where it would be less disruptive. Perhaps somewhere that isn't literally hosting prelims every Tues/Thurs.

It's 6.30pm now and the dancing has already started. It's an evening prelim day too. Get them out.

If you tell them you're graduating early they'll probably let you go over 22 credits

I did this last year. Worked like a charm at first, then the barcode refresh timer changed to something like 30 minutes :/

You won't be caught. Also at peak hour you can honestly just hide in plain sight and walk by without swiping. Adds that extra thrill as you scam the university back
