MICA-TONE - Fuzz, Orpheum - Fuzz

"c1967 germanium lovelies, from a mystery NY/NJ source - they are sort of based on the first generation Fuzzrites with 0.1 capacitors."

Team takes data science approach to identifying thermal conductivity-related structural factors in amorphous materials

A Tohoku University research team has discovered that different thermal conductivities exhibited by an amorphous material with the same composition are attributable to the sizes of atomic rings in its atomic structure. This is one of the first studies demonstrating that the structural features of amorphous materials can be correlated with their physical properties. The paper is published in the International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer. It is already feasible to synthesize amorphous materials with the same compositions but different thermal conductivities. However, the structural factors responsible for differences in thermal conductivity had yet to be identified due to a lack of appropriate analytical methods.

wroughtironleatherandeffects - Wylie Deluxe Boost

"... is built in a vintage Sterling Power Meter-- probably the most perfect dual pedal repurposed enclosure I have ever come across. Both meters were originally part of this thing. I didn't have to cover up any of the original lettering and the original holes for the probes worked perfectly for the controls on the pedal. ...   I made the custom acid etched labels with a bit of a worn look for a better match to this 60 year old enclosure and adapted these cool knobs to make them work on this pedal. The meters both work-- though they aren't real smooth in their travel across the scale. The Volt meter travels to about 1 o'clock on the dial as you turn up  the volume and the miliamp meter travels about 80% of the way across the meter. ... The Wylie Boost gets its name from the guy who made the booster that inspired me to start building myself.  The Rangemaster clone that Wylie Gelber (bassist of the band Dawes) built in a repurposed enclosure with a vintage meter on top is used extensively by bandmate Taylor Goldsmith. This Deluxe version contains both the Germanium boost circuit and a Jfet boost circuit.            The Wylie Boost is a Germanium transistor boost, (in the tradition of the original Rangemaster), but with my own circuit topology. Powered by the mysterious NOS black "top-hat" germanium transistor, the Wylie incorporates additional controls for gain and tone along with overall volume. ... the circuit is built on turret board ... But unlike a lot of early Germanium powered pedals, this one runs off a standard tip-negative power supply.   The Germanium transistor has a unique sound. It's a boost, but it is by no means clean---unless you want it to be. Due to the circuit's low input impedance, it is very responsive to guitar volume control. Rolling back the guitar volume will clean up the signal and add a little sparkle."

Germanium

actual new content for the tumblr

he is scaled up to fill space but he is actually very small, probably about chest height to Silicon (now we have to define Silicon's height and I'd say he's about average, but then that brings into question the height of the Element Cats compared to normal cats and us, and I haven't figured that out yet)

I'd imagine when his iris muscles contract/relax, they make camera shutter noises

Magnetism fosters unusual electronic order in quantum material

Physicists were surprised by the 2022 discovery that electrons in magnetic iron-germanium crystals could spontaneously and collectively organize their charges into a pattern featuring a standing wave. Magnetism also arises from the collective self-organization of electron spins into ordered patterns, and those patterns rarely coexist with the patterns that produce the standing wave of electrons physicists call a charge density wave.

In a study published this week in Nature Physics, Rice University physicists Ming Yi and Pengcheng Dai, and many of their collaborators from the 2022 study, present an array of experimental evidence that shows their charge density wave discovery was rarer still, a case where the magnetic and electronic orders don't simply coexist but are directly linked.

"We found magnetism subtly modifies the landscape of electron energy states in the material in a way that both promotes and prepares for the formation of the charge density wave," said Yi, a co-corresponding author of the study.

The study was co-authored by more than a dozen researchers from Rice; Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL); SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory; Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL); the University of Washington; the University of California, Berkeley; Israel's Weizmann Institute of Science; and China's Southern University of Science and Technology.

The discovery of germanium is a pivotal moment in the history of chemistry and physics. Germanium was first isolated by Clemens Winkler in 1886, when he was investigating a mineral called argyrodite. Through a series of meticulous experiments, Winkler was able to isolate a new element that he named germanium in honor of his native country, Germany. Germanium quickly gained attention for its unique properties, particularly its semiconductor capabilities. This discovery laid the foundation for the development of modern electronics and technology. Germanium was used in the early stages of semiconductor devices, and its properties were crucial in the development of transistors and diodes. The discovery of germanium ultimately revolutionized the field of electronics and led to advancements in telecommunications, computing, and other technological fields. Germanium transistors were used extensively in early electronics, paving the way for the development of smaller, faster, and more efficient devices. Today, germanium is still used in some specialized applications, such as in infrared optics and solar cells. In conclusion, the discovery of germanium by Clemens Winkler marked a significant milestone in the history of science and technology. Its unique properties have shaped the modern world and continue to play a vital role in various technological applications. The legacy of germanium serves as a reminder of the importance of scientific discovery and innovation in driving progress and advancement.
