Our "Excitons in crystals" entry for the Encyclopedia of Condensed Matter Physics 2ed, with A. Kavokinâfrom Frenkel's historical insight of what happens to an atom's excited state in a lattice, to cool devices such as stretchable screensâis finalized and should be published soon.

Amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Familiar with this @pjakma ?
Puy de DÎme, Issoire, Clermont-Fd... ça donnerait presque envie de s'intéresser à nouveau à la grande boucle (il y a bien Vulcania pour rappeler dans quel sens les choses ont changé).

joli, mais il manque au moins les versions Pascalienne et Napoléonienne..

La télévision qui dédouane la fiction, Aspect qui renoue avec son co-auteur fictif Djerzinski: «Si vous avez cent culs-bites intriqués...» et un peu plus tard «je dis pas cul-bite parce que ça vous fait marrer». Ah il est beau le vide ontologique profond.

MendĂšs France avait instituĂ© la disribution d'un verre de lait Ă l'Ă©cole. Mon pĂšre me racontait sa joie de recevoir tous les jours ce petit verre, dont il se privait parfois, pour s'offrir Ă la place la joie de le garder pour sa sĆur.
Plus tard un professeur d'Ă©cole rapporta en classe la mĂȘme histoire du verre de lait, mais dans son histoire Ă lui, il racontait comment les enfants s'amusaient Ă jeter le lait en courant dans les rues du retour Ă la maison.
C'est peut-ĂȘtre mon premier souvenir d'enfant qui se rendit compte que le mĂȘme monde, pour les pauvres et pour les autres, ne se ressemble en rien. Depuis, je vois le lait par terre comme si c'Ă©tait du sang.
It's technical and I've never been very interested in KN95 standards without valves and such, but I do seem to understand from these tortuously written instructions that masks are not compulsory for the plane but remain so for the bus and train? Kafkaian.

A summary of our times: "Things are bad, so let's make them worse."
Reading this interesting testimony on the great "physicians"âand the crush for the moustacheâjustifies my Houellebecq's slide in yesterday's Lecture. What this was about remains, though, a privilege for those who came to hear something that enjoyed locality (and confidentiality).

Follow-up on recent experimental works (Refs. [27-28]) getting close to the homodyning trick in QED, which is a magic wand that transforms everything:

Another bullet point for the History books. How far down the list will be Paris and London?

I was trying to get an idea of how distorted my perception of how bad West Midland buses @nxwestmidlands could be... it appears it's even worse than I thought! Here's a selection from the past few days of the phlegmatic British feedback on their service:
To be fair, someone gave 2 stars, although that says more again about the British people's resilience than about the service itself.

I'm looking at the movie adaptation instead.
