There are only two pre-requisites to using Haskell in 2020. You have to be an idealist. And you have to be a genius:

Based on the $L_x$,$L_y$ and $L_z$ derived at Lie algebra of $SO(3)$ we can calculate the Lie bracket as:

Can be used to detect single photons.

Richard Feynman likes them, he describes the tube at Richard Feynman Quantum Electrodynamics Lecture at University of Auckland (1979) at one point.

It uses the photoelectric effect multiple times to produce a chain reaction. In particular, as mentioned at youtu.be/5V8VCFkAd0A?t=74 from Video 1. "Using a Photomultiplier to Detect single photons by Huygens Optics" this means that the device has a lowest sensitive light frequency, beyond which photons don't have enough energy to eject any electrons.

Current Wikipedia seems to say that this refers specifically to cells taking up DNA from other dead cells as in the Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment, excluding other types of horizontal gene transfer like bacterial conjugation

The term is sometimes just used a synonym for horizontal gene transfer in general it seems however.

One is reminded of Nick Leeson.
