AI Thread Summary
Electron Ptychography Imaging is a groundbreaking microscopy technique that eliminates the need for lenses, enabling the creation of ultra-high-resolution images. This method reconstructs images from electron waves scattered by samples, overcoming limitations associated with traditional microscopy, such as blurriness from glass lenses and visible light wavelengths. It has the potential to image live cells without causing damage, opening new avenues in biological research. The technique may also influence the adaptation of electron microscopy methods to x-ray imaging. Overall, Electron Ptychography Imaging represents a significant advancement in imaging technology with diverse applications.

Looking forward to all the applications this will be used in!

A new microscopy method that ditches lenses altogether could create the highest-resolution images ever seen. The system reconstructs an image from the electron waves scattered by a sample, and has no fundamental experimental limits imposed by constraints like blurry glass or wavelengths of visible light. It can even be used to image live cells without harming them.

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
It may be shown from the equations of electromagnetism, by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860’s, that the speed of light in the vacuum of free space is related to electric permittivity (ϵ) and magnetic permeability (μ) by the equation: c=1/√( μ ϵ ) . This value is a constant for the vacuum of free space and is independent of the motion of the observer. It was this fact, in part, that led Albert Einstein to Special Relativity.
