Man, ReCore looks amazing. Just look at this trailer! Very excited about the platforming opportunities with all these robots. September can’t come soon enough.
Asegun Henry, Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia University of Technology, USA, is looking to catalogue unique musical signatures for every element in the periodic table based on the constant vibrations of their molecular structure.
Properties that influence each individual sound include the number of atoms, thermal conductivity, the change in energy of interaction based on distance between molecules, and method of motion – atoms can swing back and forth, twist and stretch among others, each of which altering the sound produced.
Each of the 118 elements produces a unique tune Henry hopes to capture.
Henry commented, ‘We have to slow down the vibrations of the atoms so you can hear them, because they’re too fast and at too high frequencies. But you’ll be able to hear the difference between something low on the periodic table and something very high like carbon. One will sound high-pitched, and one will sound low.’
Henry is currently developing an educational app to catalogue the table. ‘My hope is that it will be an interesting tool to teach the periodic table, but also to give people some notion about the idea that the entire university is moving around and making noise,’ he said. ‘You just can’t hear it.’
You know why Harry Potter is amazing? 99% of fan theories, headcanons and meta could be canon because Harry is about as observant as a brick wall. Did Slytherins come back to fight in the Battle of Hogwarts? Did Draco Malfoy enjoy crossdressing? Was Hermione transgender? Who knows, certainly not Harry
Harry didn’t notice Hermione time traveling around him for a whole year or his own teacher’s hand writing
Harry didn’t notice that he was a wizard
The glass is just gone I don’t know maybe that just happens with snakes sometimes.
