In a chapter of the book "A History of Physics", Quintino Lopes contributes to the #HistoryOfPhysics in the period between-wars, "examining relations between the physics laboratories of the Faculty of Sciences ogf teh University of Lisbon and the Instituto Superior Técnico on the one hand and the Laboratoire Curie, the @collegedefrance and other prestigious science institutions on the other hand".

Are there any #STS scholars and/or scientists who have written about the societal influence and interconnections with more involved and applied sides of #quantum mechanics like: lattice simulations, cooling methods, Feynman diagrams, quantum trajectories, stochastic equations, measurement techniques and types etc? Any leads appreciated! #academicchatter #physics #historyofphysics

Glory or Gravity?
John Hutchinson and Isaac Newton were both devout scholars who believed that the natural world and God were inextricably linked. The similarities ended there.

Actually, this refers to Antoine Cesar Becquerel, grand-father of Henri Becquerel (1852-1908). He worked on electrochemistry and batteries. The father Antoine Edmond (1820-1891) was also physicist and invented colour photography in 1848. #historyOfPhysics
Sun is out - new cyanotype prints! This one is inspired by the Wilson cloud chamber and cosmic rays. A Wilson cloud chamber is basically a tank of condensed, supercooled water (or alcohol) vapour. It is used to detect high energy particles - ionizing radiation. …
Diffraction was first investigated and described by the Jesuit astronomer, mathematician and physicist Francesco Maria Grimaldi born 2 April 1618

A little #HistoryOfPhysics analogy: when antimatter was first suggested as a mathematical prediction (specifically the positron, a POSItive elecTRON) there was some discussion over whether it was a new particle, or just an *absence* of an electron in a field that was all electrons. A "hole" where an electron should be?
For example, is this an absence of a cat, or is it a negative cat?
