Rochester Cloak is a cloaking device which can be built using inexpensive, everyday materials. John Howell, a professor of physics at the University of Rochester, and graduate student Joseph Choi developed the device, which features four standard lenses that allows an object to appear invisible as the viewer moves...

The importance of pointing the AirFanta Wear personal air purifier accurately. You need to point the center of the Wear's airflow at your breathing zone. Otherwise you won't get any benefit from the device. This is just a visualization using the mist from an ultrasonic nebulizer to stand in for unfiltered ambient air. In the demonstration the air is not completely still due to the output of the nebulizer. But the air flow may be similar to cross currents that might be found in indoor settings. AirFanta has shown a number of different ways to position the Wear, but hasn't given exact numbers for distance as far as I know. I'm using a distance of 2 inches or less as a rule of thumb, with the center of the device pointed at my breathing zone. The 3/4 position feels like it's one that people may be the most interested in because it can let you eat while at the same time maintaining a close proximity to the output. The Wear is not meant as a one-to-one replacement for a respirator grade mask. It's best for situations where you were not going to be wearing a mask at all, but would still like to breathe cleaner air. Avoid risk compensation, which is where you take on more risk because you think you are more protected than you actually are. For instance, visiting a nephew sick with measles without an N95 mask because you think the Wear will give you equal protection. Maintaining the correct distance and orientation between the Wear and your breathing zone requires conscious effort. The Wear can reduce your overall exposure to airborne contaminants, but it needs to be used very close to breathing zone and needs to be very accurately centered.

IOBM student body unites to demand justice for a fellow female student who was reportedly expelled for complaining about alleged harassment she faced as the University responded by accusing her of being disrespectful to the staff. Universities in Pakistan for most part believe that students can be isolated, picked out and bullied and as there are no student unions who would care. However, the IOBM student body proved the administration wrong which as per reports has now led to firing of the transport staff member against whom the student had originally complained. It has also been reported that the University is now reconsidering the expulsion of the Student. The student must be reinstated at the earliest and inquiry should be launched against her hasty expulsion and allegations of harassment. This is not the first time a University has decided to act against alleged victims and whistleblowers. In 2021 a male student was expelled by IBA for publicly reporting the harassment of a female staff member by senior male staff members. The expulsion led to student protests resulting in the reinstatement of the whistle blower following my committee inquiries which found the male staff members guilty of harassment. Instead of knee jerk reactions to first complaints and then retreating under protest Universities must ensure proper mechanisms and transparency giving confidence to students to come forward instead of putting them under fear or coercive actions against them. The inquiries will not only embolden students but would also give fair hearing to those accused of harassment. Unfortunately even the premier institutes who claim to have comprehensive anti harassment policies in place fail to implement the same when the need arises and even try to rig inquiry committees or create hurdles for them. In 2014 when a professor at LUMs was accused of sexual harassment the first reaction of the administration and fellow faculty was to rush his defence and the LUMS inquiry committee also exonerated him and it was only later before the Ombudsman that the professor was found guilty resulting in the professor getting fired. Whether it is incidents of harassment, lack of facilities on campus, lack of maintenance of amenities and transport, issues of examination and other disciplinary measures the conduct of university administrations repeatedly remind us of the need for actual functioning Students Unions and Student representation within the university's governing bodies.

🚨 SCIENTISTS JUST DETECTED QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT IN A CENTIMETER-SIZED PIECE OF METAL SOMETHING ONCE THOUGHT IMPOSSIBLE AT THIS SCALE. Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology have found clear evidence of high-degree quantum entanglement among particles inside a macroscopic crystal of a “strange metal” made of cerium, palladium, and silicon. This is one of the first times multipartite entanglement has been convincingly demonstrated in a solid object large enough to hold in your hand. Strange metals are already bizarre their electrons don’t behave like normal individual particles. Now it appears large numbers of them can act as a single, highly entangled quantum system even at everyday scales. Why this matters: • Quantum entanglement has almost always been limited to tiny numbers of particles in carefully isolated lab conditions • This experiment shows entanglement can persist collectively across a visible, macroscopic object • It was measured using neutron scattering, which revealed the material responding as one entangled system rather than many independent particles • This bridges the gap between microscopic quantum effects and real-world materials The deeper implication: For decades, physicists have wondered whether the strange, collective behavior seen in certain quantum materials could be explained by underlying entanglement. This result strongly suggests the answer is yes even at scales we can see and touch. It doesn’t mean your coffee mug is in a quantum superposition, but it does show that quantum correlations can dominate the physics of certain solids in ways we’re only beginning to understand. This kind of macroscopic quantum behavior could eventually help us design new materials with exotic properties, or give us new tools to study fundamental questions about quantum mechanics itself. How do you think discovering entanglement at this scale changes our understanding of where the quantum world ends and the classical world begins?
