    Data Storage
AI Thread Summary
Microtubules are being considered as potential candidates for data storage due to their symmetry and the implications of Noether's theorem. However, concerns about feasibility arise, particularly when compared to existing magnetic storage technologies, which are significantly smaller. The discussion emphasizes the need for clear questions and supporting references when exploring complex topics in technical forums. Participants are encouraged to provide detailed explanations and relevant links to enhance the quality of the conversation. The exploration of microtubules for data storage remains a speculative yet intriguing area of research.

New poster has been reminded to post links to their reading and show some effort to explain their question in detail
Can the microtubule, due to its symmetry and conservation laws (Noether’s theorem), be a good candidate for data storage?

I don't know if it is feasible, magnetic storage cells are already around half the size.

Your first thread start was deleted because you did not explain your question very well and did not post any links to the reading you have been doing about your question. Please do both of those things now in this new thread of yours -- it is important to ask clear questions and provide links when posting a thread in the technical forums. Thank you.
 
Thread 'A quartet of epi-illumination methods'
Well, it took almost 20 years (!!!), but I finally obtained a set of epi-phase microscope objectives (Zeiss). The principles of epi-phase contrast is nearly identical to transillumination phase contrast, but the phase ring is a 1/8 wave retarder rather than a 1/4 wave retarder (because with epi-illumination, the light passes through the ring twice). This method was popular only for a very short period of time before epi-DIC (differential interference contrast) became widely available. So...
I am currently undertaking a research internship where I am modelling the heating of silicon wafers with a 515 nm femtosecond laser. In order to increase the absorption of the laser into the oxide layer on top of the wafer it was suggested we use gold nanoparticles. I was tasked with modelling the optical properties of a 5nm gold nanoparticle, in particular the absorption cross section, using COMSOL Multiphysics. My model seems to be getting correct values for the absorption coefficient and...
