Reposted by Nicolò AntoliniNational Institute of Optics (CNR-INO) @cnr-ino.bsky.social · 24/03/2025A team of researchers in Florence observed the formation of #quantum droplet arrays in ultra-cold atom mixtures. The phenomenon is caused by surface tension, leading to the breakup of atomic filaments into droplets. Read the study, published in Physical Review Letters: bit.ly/4c1nUF1 #CNR 082

Nicolò Antolini @nantolini.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Is mathematical illiteracy even perceived as a problem, like functional illiteracy? Filled by data and statistics from politics, and news, the widespread rejection of math by the average person is alarming. Maybe we need to change teaching?
