  1. It was fun playing with a sci-fi style in this image which represents #CLIMAT : a new method developed by Artem Musiienko at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin and based on the #HallEffect. With this technique it's possible to resolve simultaneously 14 different parameters of #electrons and #holes in #semiconductors!

  2. #FuneralFactFriday: Some caskets have holes drilled into them

    Orthodox Jewish caskets have pre-drilled holes in the bottom panel to facilitate the body's rapid return to the earth. Contact with the earth and quick decomposition fulfill the Bible's requirement, "For dust thou are and unto dust shalt thou return."

    Metal caskets must have a series of holes drilled into them to be buried at sea. There are requirements about strapping the casket closed, weighting it down, and creating holes for water to enter and air to escape. Otherwise they won't sink!
