How to cross thin ice, #polar #bear edition: spread out wide to distribute weight and reduce pressure. This clever move helps avoid breaking the fragile surface. A survival tactic perfected in the Arctic #physics

Best glory I’ve ever seen from a plane! It’s an optical phenomenon that occurs when light interacts in and around tiny droplets of water in the clouds, in the direction opposite the sun. More complex than a rainbow. Here’s a link to some more info: www.zmescience.com/scienc…. #optics #physics

Theoretical physicist Maria Goeppert Mayer died #OTD in 1972. She shared the 1963 #Nobel Prize in Physics (w/Wigner & Jensen) "for their discoveries concerning nuclear shell structure." She was the second woman to win a Nobel in #physics. (Who was the first?) #WomenInSTEM
A classic black-and-white portrait photograph of Nobel Prize-winning physicist Maria Goeppert Mayer, taken in a classroom or lecture setting. She stands in front of a large chalkboard filled with handwritten nuclear physics equations, nuclear mass data, and element symbols (including notations like I¹²⁹, Cr⁵², and various alpha, beta, and gamma values). Goeppert Mayer has a thoughtful, focused expression as she gazes upward slightly, with her lips pursed in concentration. She wears a patterned dress with short-sleeved matching jacket with a geometric black-and-white design, a pearl necklace, and her hair styled in soft curls. In her hands, she holds a wooden slide rule.

Who invented non-reflective glass? American physicist & chemist Katharine Burr Blodgett in 1938. It revolutionized optics--& led to the coatings used today in everything from eyeglasses to phone screens. She was the first woman to earn a PhD in #physics from Cambridge, 1926. #WomenInSTEM #inventor
Black-and-white 1950s photograph of physicist Katharine Burr Blodgett in her General Electric laboratory. Seated at a desk, she wears glasses and a striped short-sleeved blouse, holding a ruler and examining papers with focused intensity. Shelves of bottles and equipment line the background — the workspace of the woman who invented non-reflective glass.
Side-by-side demonstration of Katharine Burr Blodgett's 1938 invention: non-reflective glass. Left: three colorful yarn balls (red, blue, yellow) are clearly visible through coated glass with no glare. Right: the same balls appear blurred and distorted by reflections through ordinary clear glass. A powerful visual proof of the invisible coating that revolutionized lenses, windows, and screens.

Nuclear physicist Fay Ajzenberg-Selove was born #OTD in 1926. She authored decades of authoritative compilations on light nuclei energy levels (researchers' "nuclear bible"). Recipient, National Medal of Science (US 2007) for advancing nuclear #physics. Advocate for #WomenInScience. #WomenInSTEM
A black-and-white portrait photograph of pioneering nuclear physicist Fay Ajzenberg-Selove, taken in her later career years. She is seated in a cozy, book-lined study or office, surrounded by shelves of books and framed photos on the wall behind her. She has short, neatly styled graying hair and warm, intelligent eyes, wears large, round-framed glasses that accentuate her thoughtful gaze. She has a gentle, knowing smile and is dressed in a patterned blouse or dress with a polka-dot or textured dark fabric, a small brooch or pin on her collar, and a simple necklace. Her hands rest calmly in front of her as she sits slightly turned toward the camera, exuding quiet confidence, resilience, and intellectual depth. The setting highlights her lifelong dedication to science, from her groundbreaking work on light nuclei spectroscopy to her influential compilations of nuclear data, and her advocacy for women in physics despite facing significant gender barriers in academia. The image captures her as a trailblazing figure who received the National Medal of Science in 2007 and left an enduring legacy in #nuclearphysics.

While I avoid planning class for tomorrow, how about a cool #Physics demo? ⚛️🧲 Let's talk about Faraday's Law. What's Faraday's Law, precious? Well, it's the reason that a sheet of aluminum can bring a swinging magnet to a screeching halt.
