'What distinguishes Wittig's theoretical, political and literary project, and makes it an unavoidable pole of intellectual attraction today, is its radical anti-essentialism. It's the radical anti-essentialism that Wittig applies to the most credible of beliefs, because of the strength of its naturalization: the idea that men and women are naturally complementary "natural groups".'

Quantum Entanglement May Share a Profound Link With Steam Engines

A year after all but ruling out the possibility, a pair of theoretical physicists from Japan and the Netherlands have found quantum entanglement has something fundamentally in common with the physics that drives steam engines, dries your socks, and may...

Puberty, gender transitioning and reversibility: Fact checking Danielle Smith’s claims

In announcing a suite of policies targeting trans and gender diverse Albertans, Premier Danielle Smith made assertions about puberty, gender transition and gender affirming care.

"Mom had always taught all of us to examine decisions by reversibility--that is, to hedge our bets. When you couldn't decide between two things, she suggested you choose the one that allowed you to change course if necessary. Not the road less traveled but the road with the exit ramp." — Will Schwalbe — — — #WillSchwalbe #quote #quotes #decisions #reversibility #exitramp #advice #choice #quip #redo
Novel method helps quantify reversibility and irreversibility of practical Li metal batteries

A research group led by Prof. Liu Zhaoping at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has proposed an analytical approach to quantitatively evaluate the reversibility and irreversibility of practical lithium-metal batteries (LMBs). Their study was published in Nature Energy.
