(01 May) The Universe’s Gold May Come From a Totally Unexpected Kind of Star
A forgotten flare from a dead star could explain how the early cosmos got its bling.

I'm putting some remix, edits and alternate takes on my "Lunchbox" playlist.
Just put up "LFO Infusion Tisane (with Caffeine Beats)" adding drums to my original LFO Infusion Tisane track.
Drums are Univox SR-95 aka Korg Mini Pops 7 aka Jean-Michel Jarre signature drum machine (I think Michael Garrison used the Univox version)

Some do ask really good questions too. #soundcloud #music #synth

"Crawfish Bucket Brigade Part I" was all done on the #Behringer #Neutron. It is monophonic, (well, technically paraphonic 2 voice), but the filter can be mixed separately and then there is the noise source and the bucket brigade delay itself brings another layer, and depending on the mix level, a variety.
"Crawfish Bucket Brigade".
Another track added to my Lunchbox playlist. And another food related title, with a link to #synthesis and #effects
This one is the first part of two tracks I recorded on the #behringer #neutron, using the same basic sequence from a #korg #sq1, but with a different feel between the two parts.
No drums, as I relied completely on the Neutron 2 oscillators for all sound generation. #music #soundcloud #livetronica #electronica #electronicmusic

"Hot Sauce Feedback"
Another experiment in #minimalist #ambient #music with the portable #Behringer #Neutron. The built in delay & distortion built into it helps a lot, I don't have to carry much to make complete tracks. Sequenced from the #Korg SQ1. Recorded in the great outdoors directly to a Tascam digital recorder. Great North Carolina weather recently, so these sessions are doubly enjoyable.

A little lapdesk, just big enough to hold my battery pack powering my tiny portable studio: a #behringer #neutron, a #zoom #ms70cdr, a #korg #sq1 and a #tascam digital recorder.

The same approach to add multiples to my #eurorack #modulars can be also used to add multiples to semimodulars such as the #behringer #neutron (and similar eurorack compatible skiffs). I added small L brackets to the side screws, then mounted short standoffs, then finally mount the 3U module to the standoffs. #diy #studio #music #synth
October 8, 2024 #RocketLab will challenge the program to hit a 
2028 launch window https://spacenews.com/nasa-awards-rocket-lab-study-contract-for-mars-sample-return
December 2, 2024 #SpaceX would rely on #Starship. Canceling #MSR would open the door for #China 
to become the first nation to return samples from #Mars https://spacenews.com/foust-forward-who-gets-the-final-word-on-mars-sample-return
The cost of a #NewGlenn (45 tons) launch will be about $67 million 
. Elon Musk says that a #Starship (150 tons) launch would cost only $10 million 
. #RocketLab is targeting the price of a #Neutron (13 tons) launch to be $50 million. #GwynneShotwell noted that 400 Starships will launch 
in the next four years https://thehill.com/opinion/technology/5004815-blue-origin-new-glenn-launch
#Nyx is compatible with #Ariane6, #Falcon9, #Neutron, #H3, and #GSLV. The "#Bikini" reentry demonstrator was intended to demonstrate the company's #reentry technology. Unfortunately, #Ariane6's upper stage failed on its deorbit burn, so the Bikini capsule remains stuck in space. The current timeline for Nyx's debut is 2028 https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/11/how-real-is-this-european-space-startup-that-aims-to-launch-astronauts

#Collimators are important components used in neutron scattering. Similar to X-rays, neutrons are used to study energy and matter at the atomic scale. #Neutron collimators can be thought of as funnels that help guide neutrons toward a detector after they interact with experimental sample materials.

Understanding how a #thermonuclear flame spreads across the surface of a #neutron #star — and what that spreading can tell us about the relationship between the neutron star’s mass and its radius — can also reveal much about the star’s composition.

(Hace 91 años)
#Nature publicaba el 27 de febrero de 1932 un artículo de James Chadwick (1891 – 1974) que cambiaría nuestra concepción de la materia: «ᴘᴏssɪʙʟᴇ ᴇxɪsᴛᴇɴᴄᴇ ᴏғ ᴀ ɴᴇᴜᴛʀᴏɴ».
𝐄𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐦𝐨 𝟏 𝐝𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐨, la Royal Society publicaba un segundo artículo en el que el físico y premio Nobel probaba, finalmente, la existencia del #neutrón.
Chadwick bombardeó una delgada lámina de berilio con partículas alfa y el metal emitió una radiación de muy alta energía, similar a los rayos gamma.
► https://www.agenciasinc.es/Visual/Ilustraciones/Celebramos-el-descubrimiento-del-neutron
Experimentos posteriores demostraron que esos rayos realmente constan de un tercer tipo de partículas subatómicas, a las que Chadwick llamó neutrones debido a que eran eléctricamente neutras.
Con este descubrimiento se ofrecía por primera vez una imagen completa del átomo, algo de importancia capital para la física y la química. Su trabajo fue decisivo para la creación de la bomba atómica.
