how useful is a typical book on statistical physics?

well, this one lacks an index entry for "thermal expansion coefficient" but has an entry for "waiting for godot, as markov chain"

What’s happening to offshore wind under Trump?

I ran the numbers.

9 projects are untouched by exec order, enough to power 5 million homes on schedule.

Also:
✅ NJ and RI governors react
✅ We made a map of projects and their status under Trump

For those of you following the muon g-2, here's a recent update of the short and intermediate window quantities from the Fermilab-HPQCD-MILC collaboration. We hope to have long-distance results in the relatively near term.

The story of solar thermal power fascinates me, so I made a chart and wrote an article to go with it. 🔌💡
