Earlier in September, we uploaded our new manuscript (Eduardo Mucciolo et al.) on modeling supercurrents in Josephson junctions to arXiv. We had submitted it to Rep. Prog. Phys. Now it has been sent out to reviewers. Looking forward to their reports and feedback.

Green's Function Methods for Computing Supercurrents in Josephson Junctions
Interest in Josephson junctions (JJs) has increased rapidly in recent years not only because of their use in qubits and other quantum devices but also due to the unique physics supported by the JJs. T...

A very insightful article about, how Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin found out what stars are made of! Her work is a beautiful example about how a great scientific discovery may emerge:

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin ✨ figured out what stars are made of ✨ when she was just 25. 🔭🧪
Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students.
I wrote this little profile to mark the 100th anniversary of her thesis:

Mielenkiintoinen Uutispodcast tieteen ja poliittisen päätöksenteon suhteesta. Haastateltavana kansanedustajat Anna Kontula (vas.) ja Jarno Limnéll (kok.), joilla on tutkijatausta.

Tieteen ja politiikan välillä kipinöi – näin suhdetta arvioivat tutkija-kansanedustajat | Uutispodcast
Poliitikot rakastavat sanoa, että päätöksenteko perustuu tutkittuun tietoon. Kuitenkin marraskuussa kansanedustaja kyseenalaisti tutkimustiedon suorassa tv-lähetyksessä ja tammikuussa uutisoitiin, ett...

Multivariable integrals may be intimidating. For my int'l B.Sc. program students at Tampere University, I visualized surface integrals and the concept of flux with flowing water and fishing nets. Another useful visualizing object would be a sheet of grip paper.

An excellent thread about quantum mechanics: it is not "weird" or "fuzzy", but rather it may be counter-intuitive. The mathematical framework of QM is consistent, very well tested, and describes physical properties of the small size scale world astonishingly precisely.
A recommended thread to read.

Today I was asked in an interview about folks who use the weirdness of ✨quantum✨ to hawk pseudoscience junk. I think that kind of grift proliferates because of a big misunderstanding a lot of folks have about quantum mechanics, which is not really their fault!
