The Nobel Prize in Physics 2025 has just been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, John M. Martinis
“for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit.”

Every lens leaves a blur signature—a hidden fingerprint in every photo.
In our new #TPAMI paper, we show how to learn it fast (5 mins of capture!) with Lens Blur Fields ✨
With it, we can tell apart ‘identical’ phones by their optics, deblur images, and render realistic blurs.
A black and white photo of Albert Einstein, around age 25, sitting at a desk. He is a wearing a flannel suit and resting his right arm on the desk. Einstein is looking to the left of the photographer in this posed photo.
The first paragraph of the paper, in German. Translated to English is reads: It is known that Maxwell's electrodynamics—as usually understood at the present time—when applied to moving bodies, leads to asymmetries which do not appear to be inherent in the phenomena. Take, for example, the reciprocal electrodynamic action of a magnet and a conductor. The observable phenomenon here depends only on the relative motion of the conductor and the magnet, whereas the customary view draws a sharp distinction between the two cases in which either the one or the other of these bodies is in motion. For if the magnet is in motion and the conductor at rest, there arises in the neighbourhood of the magnet an electric field with a certain definite energy, producing a current at the places where parts of the conductor are situated. But if the magnet is stationary and the conductor in motion, no electric field arises in the neighbourhood of the magnet...
Happy 120th birthday, special relativity!
Albert Einstein introduced special relativity in the paper "On The Electrodynamics Of Moving Bodies," published in Annalen der Physik #OTD in 1905. 🧪 ⚛️ 🔭

While I agree that Linux is overall better for the privacy.
But the drivers support on Linux is really bad. My laptop's camera and mic does not work on Linux (no matter the distribution)🥲. The fingerprint also does not work.
Interesting read.

Paul Dirac was born #OTD in 1902. He is regarded as one of the most prominent theoretical physicists of the 20th century. The Dirac equation provides the first unified theory of quantum mechanics and special relativity.

It's paper day! The first science paper with data from @vrubinobs.bsky.social's survey camera, the mighty LSSTCam, is a VERY quick turnaround of Rubin's observations thus far of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. ☄️

Portrait of Wheeler in his twenties. He is wearing a dark jacket, white shirt, and tie. Wheeler is looking to the side of the camera.
An older wheeler standing in front of a chalkboard. His hands are clasped. The diagram behind him shows a direct path from point A to point B labeled “classical,” and a wave emanating from A and passing to B labeled “quantum.”

Physicist John Archibald Wheeler was born #OTD in 1911.
A titan of 20th century science, he introduced the S-Matrix; developed (with Bohr) the first general theory of fission; coined "worm hole" and popularized “black hole”; and trained Feynman, Everett, Thorne, and many others. 🧪 ⚛️

A black and white photograph of Henrietta Swan Leavitt. She is wearing a white blouse with a large lace collar that covers her shoulders, upper chest, and neck. Her hair is pulled up and she is looking directly at the camera. She has dark eyes in tis photo, strong eyebrows, and a long, thin nose.
Astronomer Henrietta Swan Leavitt was born #OTD in 1868. She established the period-luminosity relation for Cepheid variable stars, an essential tool for understanding the scale of our Universe. 🧪 👩🔬 🔭

Tall trees on a grassy lake shore with a cloudy sky overhead. Sunlight peeks through the tree branches, casting light and shadow across the scene. Mountains are faintly visible in the background beneath the overcast sky.
