Happy birthday to British #engineer, #mathematician, #physicist & #inventor Hertha Ayrton (1854-1923). I’ve shown her in my #linocut with a diagram of the dividers from her 1st of 26 (!) patents, one of her diagrams about the origin & growth of ripple marks & one of her diagrams of an electric arc lamp (a subject on which she literally wrote the textbook).⁠

Born on this day: #physicist J. R. Oppenheimer (1904-1967). While best remembered for his role in the Manhattan Project, he was a giant of 20th century theoretical physics, nominated for a Nobel 3 times. ⁠
⁠
In 1927 he & Max Born greatly simplified how we predict electrons behaviour within atoms. The Born-Oppenheimer or adiabatic approximation is based on the observation that electrons are 1000s times lighter than 🧵

'The chances of you living 50 years are very small': Theoretical physicist explains why humanity likely won't survive to see all the forces unified

Live Science spoke with Nobel prize-winning physicist David Gross, who recently received the $3 million Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics, about the quest to unite all the forces and why humanity might not live to see a unified theory.

What happens when #protons collide at almost the speed of light? The #physicist Thomas Becher from #unibern has moved from Bern to the USA – and back again – in search of answers.
He was awarded the Carl-Zeiss-Humboldt Research Award for his work: https://www.uniaktuell.unibe.ch/2026/dancing_with_the_elementary_particles/index_eng.html
