One Type of Drinking Water Linked To up to 62% Higher Parkinson’s Risk

The study looked at 12,370 people with Parkinson's disease and more than 1.2 million people without the disease.

Mijn nieuwe verhaal voor @nrc_nl, over de wiskunde van Piet Lammers: faseovergangen en percolatietheorie. Een fascinerend snijvlak tussen kansrekening en natuurkunde. In drie dimensies weten we nog maar heel weinig.
Komend weekend in de krant, nu al online: https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/02/26/op-zoek-naar-het-kantelpunt-gooien-wiskundigen-kop-of-munt-in-een-doolhof-van-koffie-a4884456 #percolation
Op zoek naar het kantelpunt gooien wiskundigen kop of munt in een doolhof van koffie

Wiskunde: Soms lijkt een systeem stabiel, totdat één kleine verandering alles omgooit. Wiskundigen ontrafelen hoe en wanneer zulke faseovergangen ontstaan.

I never would expect I see a #Cthulhu -style figure in a #physics #textbook... The figure is not horrifying, but it really looks interestingly funny in the context of a textbook.

The textbook is "Introduction to percolation theory" by Dietrich Stauffer.

Aluminum gallium nitride (Al,Ga)N holds promise for efficient deep #UV light emitters but unfortunately current devices suffer from low #efficiency. We offer an explanation: Our simulations reveal disorder-induced transport #percolation in #quantum wells. But radiative and non-radiative recombination increase both!

I made these using this tiny geometry nodes setup

if your interested in learning more about this sort of thing then look into percolation theory

theres some really interesting stuff out there about the study of randomly connected graphs

#percolation #procgen #blender #b3d #geometrynodes

and when the pixels are more likely to be connected you end up with one ocean that stretches off into infinity with small islands scattered around
