Happy birthday to French mathematician, physicist and philosopher Marie-Sophie Germain (1776 – 1831), known as Sophie. She taught herself mathematics using books in her father’s library and by corresponding with leading mathematicians of her day, including Lagrange, Legendre and Gauss, initially using the pseudonym Monsieur LeBlanc. 🧵1/n

American Physical Society, did you miss "Science Explorer: ADS for All #NASAScience" at #APSsummit25?

#ADSabs ➡️ SciX, an #openscience #digitallibrary providing #physicist w/ advanced search, visualization, & citation tools!

Access #physics, #heliophysics, #earthscience, #planetaryscience, #astronomy & more w/ familiar ADS features!

ZenodoScience Explorer: ADS for All NASA ScienceFor over 30 years, the Astrophysics Data System (ADS) has been the indispensable digital library for astrophysicists. Building on this success, ADS is evolving to support more scientific disciplines. With the growing demand for open science resources, NASA directed ADS to cover planetary science, heliophysics, earth science, comprehensively, and NASA-funded research in the biological and physical sciences. As a result, ADS is becoming an interdisciplinary platform, the Science Explorer (SciX), unifying the physical sciences. SciX discipline-specific interfaces allow researchers to use their preferred terms to search a vast multidisciplinary database for relevant scholarly literature, data sets, and software. Links to the publisher’s version of record and open access versions, such as preprints, ensure access for all scientists. SciX visualizations map relations among authors and concepts, encouraging exploration of collaborations and themes across disciplines. Advanced functions suggest review articles, trending papers, and similar research, essential for tracking rapidly evolving topics. With robust SciX citation metrics and bibliographic tools, scientists can track their impact and identify key papers. Exporting custom libraries streamlines drafting articles, grant proposals, and literature reviews.  For ADS users, the SciX astrophysics interface is familiar, even offering the “classic” form. ADS and libraries are unchanged, while SciX expands to serve a broader community.

ZenodoThe Physics in the Astrophysics Data SystemThe Astrophysics Data System (ADS) is a gateway to over 13 million physics journal articles, preprints, conference proceedings, and books, one of the most comprehensive open science resources available to physicists world-wide. The digital library designed for NASA science indexes Physical Review ABCDEFMPRSX, Physica ABCD, Journal of Physics ABCDEFG CS, Physics Letters AB, Nuclear Physics AB, Journal of High Energy Physics, and more refereed journals plus non-refereed publications. In ADS, physicists can build complex queries of author, affiliation, title, keyword, or other metadata to find scholarly literature, data sets, and software. Links to the publisher’s version of record and open access versions increases access for all physicists. ADS visualizations map connections among authors and concepts, so physicists can pinpoint collaborations, influential works, and emerging trends quickly.  Advanced ADS functions suggest review articles, trending papers, and similar research, essential for following rapidly evolving areas. Citation metrics and bibliographic tools allow physicists to track their impact and identify key papers. Custom libraries exported from ADS help physicists draft articles, grant proposals, and literature reviews. NASA directed ADS to cover planetary science, heliophysics, and earth science comprehensively. Therefore, ADS is expanding into a multidisciplinary search platform, the Science Explorer (SciX), which reveals commonalities across the physical sciences.

So everything ultimately when you zoom in close enough is just physics. Matter is made of atoms and atoms are made of particles and particles are just bits of energy moving around excitedly. I might have missed a few layers but good enough for a layperson discussion.

I know there have been experiments to cool things to absolute zero, and I know we've gotten pretty close but not quite.

But what would happen at absolute zero, or do we even know for certain? If those bits of energy stop moving, do they cease to exist? Would the macro object just poof?

For the #PrinterSolstice2425 prompt lead, the woman who figured out why lead is particularly stable & 2nd woman to win the Nobel Prize for #physics: German-American theoretical #physicist Maria Goeppert Mayer (1906-1972). As the series of increasingly large atomic nuclei grows with additional nucleons (protons p & neutrons n) from hydrogen to transuranic elements, there are points where the binding energy of the next nucleon is a lot lower 🧵

My linocut portrait of Maria Goeppert Mayer on 11” x 14” white Japanese paper shows the nuclear shell model energy states in lime green up the left side. Next to this are the magic numbers rising vertically (sums of available energy states): 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, 126 and associated elements for nuclei with those numbers of protons: He, O, Ca, Ni, Sn, Pb with the final hypothetical element unlabelled, all in dark blue. A 3/4 portrait from the chest up in dark blue is all the right side. Mayer has short hair, and wears a dark blouse with long thin white scarf draped around her neck, untied. Below the magic numbers are increasingly large representations of nuclei with increasing numbers of gold and white nucleons like clumps of balls.

Day 6 #ArtAdventCalendar: #linocut of French #mathematician & #physicist Joseph Fourier (1768-1830) remembered for his work on Fourier series, Fourier transforms, Fourier’s law of conduction, Fourier analysis & harmonic analysis & their use to solve heat transfer problems & credited with proposing the greenhouse effect as early as 1824.

Being a commoner he could not seek a commission in the scientific corps of the army but took a military lectureship in #math.🧵

My linocut print on 11”x14” white washi paper had one large section of a circle and several varied smaller overlapping circles in tints and shades of pale orange to pale golden yellow-orange. Fourier is printed in blue ink on top of these orange circles and dressed in 18th century garb. A red sinusoidal function is printed on top such that his head finds within a crest and the throughs to either side frame him. There’s are smaller sinusoids in green, pale blue and yellow on either side of his neck. The sum of these functions frames him in a purple line.

Happy birthday to #physicist Lise Meitner (1878-1968) who explained #nuclear #fission. She worked with chemists Hahn & Straßmann in 30s Berlin, investigating whether there were any stable elements beyond uranium. They discovered bombarding nucleus of U-235 with neutrons actually triggered it to fission, or break, into 2 nuclei of roughly half the size & some free neutrons! Hahn’s chemistry lead to startling discovery of barium,🧵

#linocut #printmaking #sciart #histsci #womenInSTEM ⁠ #MastoArt

My linocut print of Lise Meitner holding her glasses in one hand, while leaning on the other, in silver ink. In red ink is a nuclear fission chain reaction shown with a single neutron (white ball with motion lines) emanating from her head towards a nucleus (conglomerate of red proton and white neutron balls) then an arrow to it fissioning (becoming split into two adjacent then two separate halves with extra free neutrons). These neutrons in turn all begin the same process with other nuclei and the chain reaction takes up the left side of the print next to Meitner.
