The Rashba–Edelstein effect refers to a phenomenon observed in spintronic materials, where an electric current can induce a non-equilibrium spin polarization in a system. This effect arises from the interplay between spin-orbit coupling and the flow of charge carriers, typically in two-dimensional electron systems. The Rashba effect, named after physicist Emmanuel Rashba, describes the splitting of electronic states in a system with structural inversion asymmetry due to spin-orbit coupling.
Tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) is a quantum mechanical phenomenon observed in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs). These junctions consist of two ferromagnetic layers separated by a thin insulating barrier, typically only a few nanometers thick. TMR arises from the spin-dependent tunneling of electrons through this barrier.
As of my last knowledge update in October 2021, "spinterface" does not refer to a widely recognized term or technology in common usage, including in fields such as computer science, software development, or engineering. It's possible that it could be a niche term, a new technology or concept that has emerged after my last update, or a misspelling or combination of two different terms.
The Chetaev instability theorem is a result in control theory and dynamical systems that addresses the stability of nonlinear systems. It provides conditions under which the equilibrium point of a nonlinear dynamical system becomes unstable. The theorem is particularly useful in the analysis of systems where traditional linear stability methods may not apply directly. While the detailed formulation can be quite technical, the core idea of the theorem is the identification of conditions that lead to instability in certain systems.
In dynamical systems, an equilibrium point is a point where the system can remain indefinitely if it starts there, assuming no external disturbances. An equilibrium point is classified based on its stability properties, which are determined by analyzing the behavior of the system near that point. A **hyperbolic equilibrium point** is a specific type of equilibrium point where the linearization of the system at that point has no eigenvalues with zero real parts.
Massera's lemma is a result in the field of differential equations and dynamical systems, particularly related to the stability of solutions to nonlinear differential equations. It is often applied in the context of the stability of solutions to the perturbed systems in the vicinity of an equilibrium point. The lemma provides a criterion for the asymptotic behavior of solutions to a nonlinear differential equation.
A Burns stanza, named after the Scottish poet Robert Burns, typically consists of a four-line stanza (quatrain) with a specific rhyme scheme of AABB. This format often emphasizes the rhythmic and musical quality of the verse, which is a hallmark of Burns's poetry. The meter is commonly iambic, making it suitable for singing. Burns’s use of the stanza is prominent in many of his works, contributing to their lyrical and folk-like nature.
"Laisser" is a French verb meaning "to let" or "to leave." However, if you are referring to "Laisse" specifically, it might not have a direct meaning in English and could depend on the context. In some contexts, "laisse" could refer to a type of poetic form, particularly in medieval literature, where it denotes a stanza or a verse. In other instances, it might be used in artistic or literary discussions.
A sestina is a structured form of poetry consisting of six stanzas of six lines each, followed by a three-line stanza called a tercet or envoi. The defining feature of a sestina is its intricate pattern of word repetition. Instead of traditional rhyme, the sestina employs a specific pattern in which the end words of the first stanza are used in a particular order in the following stanzas.
The Onegin stanza, also known as the "Pushkin sonnet," is a poetic form that consists of 14 lines arranged in a specific rhyme scheme and meter. It was popularized by the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin in his novel in verse, "Eugene Onegin." The form typically consists of a sequence of alternating rhymes and is written in iambic tetrameter.
Riding rhyme, often referred to as "riding rhyme" or "riding poetry," is a form of humorous verse that is traditionally associated with children's literature and nursery rhymes. It is characterized by its playful, rhythmic qualities and often includes elements of repetition, alliteration, and a simple storyline or theme. The term can also refer specifically to rhymes that accompany activities or games, particularly those involving horses or other forms of transportation.
Here is a list of some notable star systems located within 30 to 35 light-years from Earth: ### 1. **Alpha Centauri** - **Distance:** ~4.37 light-years - **Components:** Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, Proxima Centauri (closest star to the Sun) ### 2. **Barnard's Star** - **Distance:** ~5.
Their website, and in particular the recruitment section, are so creepy.
There's not mention of bombs. No photos of atomic explosions. The words "atomic" and "weapon" do not even show up in the front page!!! The acronym AWE is instead used everywhere as an euphemism.
In the recruitment section we can see a bunch of people smiling: web.archive.org/web/20211007213222/https://www.awe.co.uk/careers/working-at-awe/, suggesting:There's even children outreach!!!
Ciro Santilli is not against storing a few nukes to be ready against dictatorships. But don't be such a pussy! Just say what the fuck you are doing more clearly! You are making weapons to kill people and destroy things in order to maintain the Balance of power. If the public can't handle such facts, then shut down the fucking program.
Missileers by BBC (2000)
Source. Documentary about American ICBM crews working on the Francis. E. Warren Air Force Base. Wiki mentions that there are 3 main sites in the USA, and plainshumanities.unl.edu/encyclopedia/doc/egp.ii.042 suggests all/most of them are in the Great Plains area. They operate a Minuteman system, which as of 2021 is the only nuclear ICBM system in the USA.
Good documentary, shows well the day-to-day life of the operator, including outside of the work site.

- youtu.be/w1tMx27Q4O0?t=1473 the actual missiles are a few miles away from the control center, scattered in a few different locations
- youtu.be/w1tMx27Q4O0?t=1619 they have a television in there at least. Presumably a pre-recorded selection.

Each subject is not presented in incredible detail, but it is a good overview of events.
Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page.
