Ultrathin conductor surpasses copper for more energy-efficient nanoelectronics

As computer chips continue to get smaller and more complex, the ultrathin metallic wires that carry electrical signals within these chips have become a weak link. Standard metal wires get worse at conducting electricity as they get thinner, ultimately limiting the size, efficiency, and performance of nanoscale electronics. In a paper published in Science, Stanford researchers show that niobium phosphide can conduct electricity better than copper in films that are only a few atoms thick. Moreover, these films can be created and deposited at sufficiently low temperatures to be compatible with modern computer chip fabrication. Their work could help make future electronics more powerful and more energy efficient. "We are breaking a fundamental bottleneck of traditional materials like copper," said Asir Intisar Khan, who received his doctorate from Stanford and is now a visiting postdoctoral scholar and first author on the paper.

hey, quick question, where did you find the dialogue for the "totemic representation" of coyle and gooseberry that easterman is on about in outlast trials? is it some unused stuff in the files? been playing for 50 hours and never heard any of it!

no worries, you're totally correct! some dedicated fans combed through the closed beta files after it dropped and found quite a bit of dialogue that we've now heard in early access. however, some of the VO lines don't yet seem to be used. you can view that data and other goodies on reddit here.

Aluminium Phosphide: A Dual-Purpose Compound with High Risks

Aluminium phosphide (AlP) is a seemingly simple chemical formula hiding a complex compound with surprising uses. It holds a unique position, acting as both a wide band gap semiconductor and a potent fumigant. However, this versatility comes with a significant danger: aluminium phosphide is highly toxic.

Industrial Applications

In the realm of semiconductors, aluminium phosphide's wide band gap property makes it valuable for certain electronic applications. Its ability to handle a larger electrical field before conducting current allows for the development of specialized devices.

However, aluminium phosphide's most widespread use lies in fumigation. Sold as pellets, tablets, or powder, it releases phosphine gas upon contact with moisture. This gas effectively eliminates insects, rodents, and other pests that threaten stored grains and food products.

The Dark Side of Aluminium Phosphide

Despite its benefits, aluminium phosphide poses a serious threat to human health. Inhalation or ingestion of the gas can be fatal, with symptoms ranging from nausea and vomiting to heart failure and pulmonary edema. The danger is heightened by aluminium phosphide's deceptive odor - it often smells like garlic or decaying fish, which can mask its presence.

Accidental poisoning is a common concern, particularly in regions where aluminium phosphide is readily available for agricultural use. Improper storage or misuse can have tragic consequences.

Regulations and Safe Handling

Due to its toxicity, aluminium phosphide is a restricted-use pesticide in many countries. Only trained applicators can handle and apply it, following strict safety protocols. Proper storage and disposal are equally important to prevent accidental exposure.

Conclusion

Aluminium phosphide's usefulness in industrial settings and agriculture cannot be denied. However, its extreme toxicity necessitates responsible use and stringent regulations. By prioritizing safety measures, we can harness the benefits of aluminium phosphide while minimizing the risks to human health.

Reader poisoning konig and horangi

✌️😗~🐝

Cw: DARKFIC,DUB-CON/NON-CON, STEPCEST, poisoning, non-con drugging, implied murder, implied death, crime, tell me if I missed any.

It was a daring act —reckless and stupid. Pushed to make an ultimatum, to decide to poison your stepfather and his best friend. To slip rat poison - easily acquired and rarely inquired about the purchase of it - into their drinks whenever they were looking. You looked it up when you went to the library, one of the few places they didn’t follow you, and searched all types of poison under another’s account to keep yourself clean and innocent. It’d take small doses on a long period to make it seem natural - or as natural as it would seem - and absolve you of any crime. 

You had it all planned, and, despite how reckless it was, you still went with it. Hiding the distinct taste of rat with the strong burn of alcohol in their hard liquor and serving them when König waved his hand at you. You cycled through a metal phosphide and an anticoagulant, thinking that one would corrode the body from the inside, killing them slowly and painfully. A fitting revenge. While the other would staunch the production of vitamin K and make the smallest bruise life threatening, causing them to bleed internally until they were administered a shot of vitamin to start the production of it. 

It seemed full proof —perfect. Weeks turned to months of planning and spending your hard-earned cash to buy small amounts over the months of use and committing to it while you swallowed down your nerves and anxiety about it. The small tremble in your hands when you mixed the powder into their drinks, watching the fine powder dissolve into nothing, the once heterogeneous substance calming to a bright, homogeneous amber.

But how were you supposed to know they had the nose of a bloodhound? They were soldiers, cautious and like-minded with killers of their calibre, but how? How could you know that they were instinctively familiar enough with rodenticideto sniff it out in the whiskey you poured for them. It was scent less and tasteless, and yet they knew —they knew of your little plan and weren’t happy about it. Amused, yes; entertained by your brawl, yes; but happy? No, not on the attempt on their lives. 

Praising your brilliant, but failed plan, they hounded you to your room, reminding you that they were in control and that you wouldn’t be able to escape them. They murmured it, screamed and lashed you with the words with every drive of their hips, ramming their slick girth into you to teach - teach once more - your the lesson you seemed to forget. Their hands bruising your hips and thighs with big, purple palms and their teeth bleeding your shoulders and throat, latching onto your skin until you every part of you was marked.

Left battered and exhausted, limp and motionless between them with your sheets and body covered in slick, cum and blood, you wouldn’t forget this lesson any time soon.

“The sun is shining as the cold water hits my tiny feet. I turn back to look at the giggling couple behind me. The woman is sharing her ice cream with the man. They kiss. I cover my eyes and scream. “MOOOOOMMMM!! DAAAAD!!! STOP!!!!!” I run at them and jump into the open arms waiting for me”

I was cooking in the kitchen while listening to music. I heard the door open and close. Show time. I was cutting the vegetables as I felt his hands wrap around me from behind. I felt him inhale my scent. “Bach’s Prelude in C Minor?” he muttered. I tried to keep myself from smirking. “What about it?” I asked nonchalantly. I felt his grip tighten just a tiny bit before he moved his hands to caress my neck and waist. He knows I am up to something. “What are you cooking?” he purred into my ear. He knows but he just wants me to say it out loud. “Rabbit stew” I said. I tossed spices, clove, garlic and chili into the stew. He inhaled sharply and tutted his tongue. Keep yourself calm. “So many spices? Haven’t I taught you better, my darling sous chef?” he challenged. I bit my lip. “I think I am catching a flu so I wanted to make it spicier” I shrugged and turned around to face him. “Want to taste? I promise it’s delicious” I batted my eyes and handed him a spoon. He smiled and took the spoon, dipped it into the pot and tasted it while keeping an eye contact with me. “It sure is” he purred. I gave him a quick peck on the lips which he didn’t answer. Breathe.

“So that is your happiest memory?” Dr. Lecter asks me. I smile sadly and nod. “Yes. That is the only time I remember seeing them together. Happy. That is the only time I remember seeing my father sober” I say and sigh. 

Hannibal went to make the table. My heart was racing. I took the zip lock bag from the drawer where I hid it earlier. Zinc Phosphide. Rat poison. I had ground it into a fine powder. This has to work. I tossed a great amount of it on his plate and topped it with the stew mixing it in. It looks normal. It smells normal. I took a deep breath and walked into the dining room pushing the serving trolley, which helped me to keep my balance with the new legs.

There he was. Waiting for me. He had made the table almost as beautiful as the first time we had dinner. I gave him his plate and walked to sit on my seat, setting my plate down from the trolley. He had put music on this time. Chopin's Nocturne in C-sharp minor. He had told me it was a song that reminded him of a prey that is too weak to run away. A prey that is almost too pitiful to eat. A wounded, weak rabbit. Zuiki. “I am no classical music enthusiast, but isn’t Chopin a bit too melancholic for a beautiful romantic dinner like this together, my love? ” I asked, trying not to sound too cold. He smiled back without answering me. He wants to play, huh? Alright. I’ll play along. 

“You loved him?” he asks. I raise a brow. “Of course I did? He was my father?” I say a bit confused. He leans back. “That isn’t something that defines love” he comments. I look down, think for a moment and look back at him. “Then what does?”

I took a sip from my glass and tasted the food. It definitely tasted spicy. I looked at him as he just sat there, fingers interlocked in front of him and staring right at me. He knows. I took a deep breath. “Was it all the spices?” I sighed. He smiled. “No, Beth. It was the fact that you wanted to get caught” he took another sip from his glass. Run. I bolted up and sprinted towards the front door as fast as possible, until after a few steps my whole body felt numb and I dizzily stumbled down hitting the floor. That fucker drugged the wine and I was too stupid to notice.

“Love, Beth, is a primal force. It’s not merely an emotion but a state of exquisite vulnerability. It’s the intertwining of desire and destruction, of consuming and being consumed. To love someone is to see them fully. Flaws, fears, and all. To choose, willingly, to indulge in their essence, to relish in their complexities. It’s an art, a delicate dance between affection and obsession, tenderness and possession. Love is the symphony that orchestrates our deepest desires and our darkest impulses” Hannibal says. I look at him quietly. “Have you ever loved anyone, Dr. Lecter?” I ask. He looks at me in silence. I look down feeling anxiety curl up to a big clump inside me. “I am so so sorry, that was stupid of me to ask” I shake my head. For a moment he looks like he is about to answer something, but he just shakes his head. “No need to apologize”

I woke up slowly. I looked around me to see this wasn’t the room he used to do his so called “work”. This was the dining room. I was back in my own chair, binded, of course. He was sitting across the table in his own seat. I started to chuckle quietly. “I should’ve known. I should’ve known you would do this eventually. You destroy everyone around you. Don't you, Dr. Lecter?” I shook my head and looked at him. He didn’t answer, so I continued. “You left the patient records there on purpose, didn’t you?” I teared up in anger and gripped the bindings. Still no answer. “DIDN’T YOU?? ANSWER ME!!” I screamed. He sighed. “I wanted you to know the truth, but I wasn’t sure how you would react. Now I know, and I can’t say I am not disappointed. I didn’t think you’d fail so badly at killing me” he tutted. I stared at him in silence. I was weak. I couldn’t do it. He got up and walked to me. “I really wanted a future for us” he said with a sad look upon his face. I scoffed, looking at the table. “Maybe, but you always knew it would end this way” I looked at him. He nodded in silence. “I loved you, Bethany” he said. I looked back at him, giving him a sad smile. “I loved you too, Hannibal” I answered. “It’s quite funny. I thought you could save me, but you ended up killing me in the process” I said, tearing up a bit. “In fact, I thought I could change you by changing myself” I started to cry. He kissed my tear soaked lips softly and inhaled my scent one last time. “I cannot be saved” he whispered.

I was now back in his basement . Here he cut me for the first time. Here he told me he cured me. Now I knew it was all a lie. I wanted to hurt him back. I wanted to hurt him the way he hurt me. To see his blood pool in my skin the way Valentin’s blood did. But I should’ve known the prey can never outsmart the predator. The prey can never become anything else. A Rabbit could only run, even after the predator had cut its legs.

I felt the needle puncture my skin and after a few seconds the sedative started to calm my nerve system down. I can’t wait to see my mother. Before I fell asleep, Hannibal leaned over me to whisper: “I promise you will be the finest amuse-bouche, Bethany”.

Next generation computers: New wiring material could transform chip technology

The rapid technological advancements of our world have been enabled by our capacity to design and fabricate ever smaller electronic chips. These underpin computers, mobile phones and every smart device deployed to date. One of the many challenges is that electronic components generate increasingly more heat as they are miniaturized. A significant issue lies in making the wires which connect the transistors on the chip thinner while ensuring that the minimum amount of heat is released. These interconnects are typically made from copper, and as we start to scale them down to nano-scale thicknesses, their electrical resistance increases rapidly because the electrons moving along the wires have a higher probability of colliding into the surface of the wire. Known as scattering, this leads to energy being released in the form of waste heat, meaning you need more power to maintain the same level of performance.

[CW: very brief mention of sexual harassment, otherwise just whacky hijinks]

“Hey, boss!”

Trek felt a blunt jab in his dorsal gills, and followed the familiar sting down the upper arm of his subordinate. His annoyance expelled in a harsh, disapproving chuff.

That did not sway the intrepid Kul’Vian in the slightest, to the captain’s chagrin. The young one had a box in their paws made of thin, lined cardboard. They shook it with excitement, an ill-appropriated grimace—what could barely pass for a human smile but struck closer to the bared teeth of lesser apes—traipsing across their jowl.

They did not wait for their captain’s reply.

“I think we may have made headway in concocting a new poison to halt our insufferable human ambassador on his tracks!”

A sharp slide of the cabin door and the clacking of footsteps seized both the captain and young lieutenant. Ber’Lo made her entrance with a precise, calculated kick into a relic which sat against the ship’s wall.

The clatter of broken stoneware rang in Trek’s sensory organs. Recoiling the feelers that sat above his lip like whiskers, he gave a knowing blink. “It went that badly, did it?”

A frustrated growl erupted from the assassin’s throat, fluttering the gills which laid partly-hidden in her dress.

“That oaf has a stomach of tungsten steel!” She took a moment to compose herself, claws pressed to her temples. “First, ghost pepper. A temporary annoyance. Then, taurine combined with a strong caffeine supplement. A momentary hiccup in their cardiovascular track, but of no lasting consequence. All the chocolate did was puff up his dog like a…” She thought for a moment, lashes flickering as she spun her index claw like a turning gear. She turned to the lieutenant. “What do you call that, again?”

“Uh…marshmallow, maybe?” Lt. Serzal gave a sheepish, deflective blink.

“Yes, whatever—a mellow-marsh!” She continued with a shriek, “And I spent two hours in the waiting room of a dog hospice—you know they have hospices just for their pets?!”

“Yes, I was aware.” Trek stifled a bemused hum.

“And then he tried to put his hand up my skirt,” she hissed. “He was under the impression I’d taken him on a date.”

“A date?!” Serzal swallowed loudly. “As in, he thought you wanted to…?” His body seized with revulsion, and he shook out the discomfort briskly, from head to leathery tail.

“Surely, you gave him what-for.” Trek prompted.

Ber’Lo nodded, stone-faced. “Not as much as I’d prefer, but yes. If it weren’t for upkeeping a peaceful public image to the Earthlings, I’d have ripped his bowels clean out—!”

“—I don’t think you have to go that far,” interjected Serzal, presenting the box to her. Her paws, which had been tense since her return to the mothership, relaxed around the little box her lieutenant pressed into her pads. “It’s a combination of arsenic, barium carbonate, zinc phosphide, et cetera et cetera…” he waved his wrist flippantly, “…known for killing rodents.”

He pressed a claw to the strange characters on the box. “Rat poison.”

Hmm. The assassin looked over the box’s gauche little design. She felt the contents shifted from behind the cardboard. It was heavy enough.

Oh, how she longed to bean that nosy little fucker over the head with it. Brash, rude, no consideration for the subtleties of their culture…or their comparatively limited cuisine. The son of a politician, chin pointed sky-high at all times. Earth truly couldn’t have picked a worse representative for its people, and she’d been stuck with damage-control for the past three moon cycles.

No more.

Ber’Lo sucked in a breath behind her fanged overbite. “And you’re sure this will work?”

“Of course!” Serzal bounded into the ship’s halls, bringing a wake of colliding metal and glass behind them from behind the closed door. They lumbered back in with a rectangular object nearly two-thirds their size, and gracelessly plopped it onto the captain’s console.

Both assassin and captain looked on the object, claimed in a dark muslin, with curiosity. Ber’Lo tapped the thing and felt glass chip away at the point of her talon.

Serzal beamed, knuckles wrapped around the cloth. “I’ve finally found a subject worthy of testing! I fed them the substance at the eighth rotational hour, EST—and if I’m correct, that stuff,” he nodded to the box unwittingly nestled in Ber’Lo’s arms, “should knock these babies dead as a house nail!”

“Dead as a what?” asked Trek.

“…Nevermind.” The lieutenant threw the cloak back over their shoulder aaaaaand.

Yep. There they were. But dead, they weren’t.

The three stared into the terrarium as the plumped-up snails sucked and scoured the walls and bowls of their home, leaving trails of thick mucus in their wake.

Trek let out a poorly concealed ha-rumph beneath his feeler-stache. Ber’Lo turned away, the energy to stay angry all but extinguished. Serzal’s Joel quivered in the wake of their latest failure.

“Back to the drawing board, I guess.”

“Hold on, lieutenant,” the elder captain called, “how much DNA does this share with our target?”

“Approximately 70%.”

“And the last subject?”

“…50%. A member of the genus Musa.”

“A berry?!” Trek fumed. “A common banana?! What happened to capturing a lesser ape for testing?”

Serzal guffawed. “I’d like to see you try to catch one! Mean little critters.”

The Kul’Vian hitwoman huffed from a distance, sharpening her claws against a dagger produced from a pocket in her boots—clearly not made for her species, let alone her shoe size.

“Maybe you should use the bananas properly next time.”

You are an alien assassin tasked with killing the human ambassador. Only to find out all your poisons like caffeine, chocolate, capsaicin, tabacco mint etc. Don’t work

St. Louis' Traffic Light Problem. I've been noticing this issue with sunlight on traffic lights around St. Louis — recently at Grand & Russel and another at Hampton & Manchester — and it's been driving me nuts. This light is ... green. I saw someone drive through a red light and nearly t-bone another driver on a sunny day last week, and I can't really fault them. I started doing a deep dive into why this happens, researching traffic light materials and traffic engineering methodologies to see if this was perhaps an issue with the tinted fiberglass being too reflective, the aluminum gallium indium phosphide (AlGaInP) LEDs not working in sunlight, or an issue with the aluminum casing. After some digging, I found a post on Reddit where a user pointed out the fatal design flaw — these traffic lights are missing their shields/tunnel visors. "Dangerous as hell" is right, u/One-Timeline. It looks like tunnel visors run ~$40 a piece. This seems like a good investment on the St. Louis Street Department's end.

Aluminium Phosphide: A Dangerous but Effective Rodenticide

Aluminium phosphide (AlP) is a highly toxic chemical compound used as a rodenticide. It's a potent fumigant that releases phosphine gas (PH3) upon contact with moisture. This gas is extremely toxic to rodents and other mammals, including humans.

How it Works:

Release of Phosphine Gas: When AlP comes into contact with moisture (such as rodent saliva or damp soil), it reacts to produce phosphine gas. Rodent Control: Phosphine gas is highly toxic to rodents. It disrupts their cellular respiration, leading to rapid death. Fumigation: AlP is often used for fumigating grain stores, ships, and other enclosed spaces to eliminate rodent infestations. Uses:

Rodent Control: AlP is a widely used rodenticide for controlling rodents in agricultural settings, grain storage facilities, and other areas where rodent infestations are a significant problem. Pest Control: It can also be used to control other pests like termites and ants. Safety Concerns:

Highly Toxic: AlP and phosphine gas are extremely toxic to humans. Inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact can be fatal. Environmental Impact: AlP can contaminate soil and water sources, posing a risk to wildlife and the environment. Illegal Use: In many countries, the use of AlP is restricted or prohibited due to its high toxicity and environmental hazards. Precautions:

Professional Use: AlP should only be handled by trained professionals who understand the risks and safety precautions. Protective Gear: When handling AlP, it's crucial to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including respiratory protection, gloves, and eye protection. Proper Storage: AlP must be stored in a secure, well-ventilated area, away from moisture and heat sources. Disposal: AlP should be disposed of properly according to local regulations. Alternatives:

Mechanical Traps: These are a humane and environmentally friendly alternative to chemical rodenticides. Snap Traps: Traditional snap traps are effective and readily available. Bait Stations: These can be used to deliver rodenticides in a controlled manner, minimizing the risk of exposure to non-target animals. Conclusion:

AlP is a powerful rodenticide, but its use carries significant risks. Due to its high toxicity and environmental hazards, it's crucial to use AlP responsibly and only when necessary. Always prioritize safety and consider safer alternatives whenever possible.
