Winter is warming faster than any other season. For each 1.8-degree increase in temperatures, the air can hold about 7 percent more moisture, which is known in physics as the Clausius-Clapeyron relationship. Which can make snowfalls snowier. https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2021/02/05/snowfall-records-climate-change-northeast/ -

From ATLASexperiment https://twitter.com/ATLASexperiment on Twitter: The ATLAS experiment finds evidence of the #Higgsboson decay to two leptons and a photon! This is one of the rarest Higgs boson decays yet seen at the LHC, with striking features that presented unique challenges for the experiment. https://atlas.cern/updates/briefing/evidence-rare-Higgs-decay -

We used Wonder (https://t.co/Y26fJZq6Bi) to conduct last night's #PHY1010 Honors Physics Game Night and it was AWESOME. We did a pub quiz-style competition entirely virtually and then had student "buy items" for their project using their "winnings." -

Almost 100,000 COVID deaths in one single calendar month. Horrifying. Things are trending in the right direction instantaneously, but the the integral is still large. Keep distancing and masking. Hold the variants in check. https://twitter.com/COVID19Tracking/status/1356038986335219714 -

Goodbye, old friend. Today the video hardware in my Pixel 2 utterly failed. It was the best phone I ever had. I never felt like it frustrated or disappointed with age.
