We're in the last step for #BeatDrop v1.5! Here are some recap what features now includes in the new version!
Thank you for contributions and suggestions: @MilkDrop2077, @IkeC, Goury/thnikkaman, martin (Nitorami), main developer's hard work with full effort and others!

Plasma is better in colour! Watch one of our latest #plasma pulses in our ST40 tokamak, filmed using our new high-speed colour camera at an incredible 16,000 frames per second.
Each pulse lasts around a fifth of a second. What you’re seeing is mostly visible light from the plasma’s edge, glowing pink. The core is simply too hot to emit visible light.
In this footage, lithium is dropped into the plasma. As it interacts, it glows red when excited, then turns green as it becomes ionised, losing an electron. From there, it traces the magnetic field lines, revealing the plasma’s path around the tokamak.
Lithium is the focus of our $52 million ST40 upgrade programme, in partnership with @ENERGY and @energygovuk. This builds on pioneering work at @PPPLab and others that has shown that lithium can significantly improve plasma performance.
This video comes from ongoing research into X-point radiator (XPR) regimes, a promising operating mode for future #fusion power plants that aims to cool the plasma before it reaches plasma-facing components (PFCs), helping to reduce wear without compromising performance.
Fusion research just got a lot more colourful!

Every time i travel and somebody asks me "Why so early?" I think of this infographic I made showing estimates vs actual time of delays happen on every step. https://t.co/A8HLm6LNZX
@thomasforth I can't understand it either!
If you haven't used it before, install Everything from https://t.co/0iINO2aBsd + thank me later.
You get *instant* search results for everything on your PC/mapped drives.
I set the hotkey Win +Alt + Space so I can basically mash + start searching!

We are settling the agenda at the inaugural TransportCamp Brisbane. We have gathered over 90 innovators and transport thinkers. The agenda shall be revealed later today.
#tcbne23#transportcamp#unconference
I'm counting down to Brisbane, and excited!
Brisbane 2023 will be my third TransportCamp, perhaps you'd like to come too?
Every participant can set the days agenda, so it's full of passion projects, impromptu presentations, policy debate and professional growth.
Book today!
TransportCamp Brisbane will bring 120 people together to discuss the transport issues of most importance to YOU. It is the only event where you and other participants set the agenda.
Book Here to attend.

🧊Antarctic Sea Ice — look at that 📉crash. Number explainer: for those who need a crash course in statistics—anything lower than X Standard Deviations means there is Y likelihood it deviated from normal sea ice levels by chance:
-3 SD = 0.27% chance
-4 SD = 0.0063% chance
-5 SD = 0.000057% chance
-6 SD = 0.0000002% chance
➡️Antarctic Sea Ice is now at -6.5 SD ==> 0.00000001% chance… or ⚠️1 in 10 BILLION chance this is a normal deviation.

NEW from NOAA SOS: This dataset shows the tsunami wave caused by the asteroid that hit Earth 66 million years ago. The wave was so impressive because the asteroid is estimated to have been 6+ miles (10+ km) in diameter! Want to learn more? https://t.co/MHCGQ1VDEa
