"Roughly 500000 Palestinians are experiencing 'catastrophic' hunger levels, the latest food insecurity report finds." Further consider ...

Noting that ... "For many in Gaza, the psychological toll of seeing their children go hungry is far worse than the physical exhaustion they feel from malnutrition and scavenging for food.

Note that IT'S NOT JUST ISRAEL ...

In repeatedly targeting and destroying a cancer center in Yemen - the United States has carried on a long pattern of booming hospitals.

On March 24, the United States carried out a premeditated attack on the Al Rasool Al-Azam Oncology Hospital in Saada, Yemen ... turning it into rubble. At least two people were killed and 13 more injured.

This was not an isolated incident. 8 days previously, on March 16, Washington launched 13 separate airstrikes against the building, systematically destroying the hospital’s five blocks. The Anti-Cancer Fund, a local government medical organization, described the events as a clear “war crime.”

“These attacks are not just airstrikes, but systematic executions, intended to eliminate hope and wipe out life amid a suffocating blockade,” it said in a statement.

The newly built Al Rasool Al-Azam Hospital was the centerpiece of the region’s healthcare network. Costing over $7.5 million, the center provided crucial treatment to hundreds of cancer patients who previously went without any care at all or faced an eight-and-a-half-hour round trip to the capital - Sanaa, for therapy.

The repeated strikes on healthcare facilities in Yemen ... have received virtually zero attention in the United States. Indeed, Washington's attacks on Yemen have elicited almost no critical coverage, with corporate media seemingly more outraged that senior Trump officials used a Signal group chat to plan their operations than those deeds leading to the deaths of dozens of civilians.

The USA returned to booming Yemen because its government - in an effort to halt the Israeli assault on Gaza, stopped Israel's ships from traveling through the Red Sea. And like Palestine, Yemen is under an international blockade, depriving its people of basic necessities.

Interesting Ayn Randesque his/story grapes but if you re-read my substantive^comment - you'll find that it is not so much a repudiation of what I said but more of a historical contextualisation. I appreciate your candour tho'.You seemingly come from the then Chinese feudal ruling class and upper middle class yet these days you now identify with The 99%,or so I believe, as you wouldn't be here IF you did not, right?

I do rather like your writings about NRG, and I'm interested in notions of Teslas Zero Point Energy ideas & tbh "Power To The people" is LITERALLY "The Revolution", as Electricity generated by any and every means; known now and future tech, is the liberation we really all seek, deserve and indeed, could have!

Maybe only then (and it is happening everywhere even now) - are we, humans free to light, heat n' cool our homes; cool, cook AND grow our food; pump, purify & 'splt' water (ie.H2O = 2H + O = Rocket Fuel!); power our tools; manufacture items; access all the interwebs for all information, knowledge and wisdom; share best practice and thus truly be Human Beings - rather than merely humans doing; humans having and humans working, yet humans deeply mired in the Fiat Money Matrix of Private Cabals in The West whereas in China, please compare and contrast that, with The Peoples Bank of China!!! The clue is in the words!! The Chinese People and State control its banks ... but it is the other way round in The West!

Guo, Y., Pack, J., Swann, J. et al. Superconductivity in 5.0° twisted bilayer WSe2. Nature 637, 839–845 (2025). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-024-08381-1 Experiment with aluminum in superatom clusters (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superatom#Aluminium_clusters) to replace selenium to look for higher superconducting critical temperatures. WSe2, graphene, graphite, and sapphire (containing aluminum) all have similar crystalline structures. Aluminum superatom clusters are tunable by Al atom count to exhibit near-selenium chemical elements' properties so there is a tunable knob there. Al is familiar to semiconductor industry.

Selenium is toxic. A 13-count cluster of Al atoms can emulate a noble gas atom when an extra electron makes the magic number of 3 × 13 + 1 = 40 free electrons, such a superatom cluster can emulate Br-. Al14 cluster can emulate calcium and magnesium. In a chemical element's atom, the atomic orbitals' 3d and 4s energy levels cross each other near calcium's atomic number of 20, in the neighborhood of K, Ca, and Sc with atomic numbers of 19, 20, and 21, respectively. This RESONANCE of atomic orbitals' energy levels is a guidepost for allowing adjacent atoms to join together superconducting. There is an even deeper (lower-energy) resonant energy well in the rare earth metals because increased atomic numbers make even higher principal quantum number (e.g. 5s and 5p) electrons penetrate closer to an atomic nucleus and still have the same energy as 4f electrons. Alloying of the rare earth metals near europium (Z=63) can create a superconducting bridge (🌉 i.e. with the symmetry of the electron cloud around an atomic nucleus broken, such as a 4d electron of one transition metal bonding with a 5s electron of the next atom forming a low-energy boson) of electrons between adjacent atoms and superatom clusters (with europium supplying the extra electron(s) to an atom or a superatom cluster).

Nanoparticles of aluminum used in solar furnace allowed conducting electricity without conducting heat so phonons (which conduct heat ) are somehow suppressed in very hot temperature. Maybe structured aluminum or aluminum oxide (as metals in the presence of oxygen from air can have an oxide coating formed on their surface) can superconduct at elevated temperatures.

Electrons are IDENTICAL particles with the same mass and electric charge. An electron entering or exiting a molecular orbital at one end can seemingly appear or disappear at a DISTANT other end of the same orbital with very little delay (as the disturbance in the electromagnetic field can propagate at a significant fraction of the maximal speed of causality, also known as the speed of light in free space). Very long molecular orbitals can bond electrons to form a highly stable boson. We humans routinely create macroscopic polymeric molecular orbitals such as those in vulcanized rubber tires/tyres. The orbitals can transfer momenta between spatially distant atoms. In vehicular tires/tyres, we want this transfer of momenta to be lossy to dissipate via phonons the kinetic energy of the tire/tyre hitting a bump so that we as the vehicular passengers don't get bumped too much. For a superconductor, though, we want this transfer of momentum to be LOSSLESS .

Leaked audio obtained by The Grayzone from an off-the-record session at AIPAC’s 2025 Congressional Summit, clearly reveals some very important insights into the Israeli influence group’s political leverege!!

In the recording, AIPAC CEO Elliott Brandt refers to top Trump-era national security officials as “lifelines” for the organization - the most powerful pro-Israel lobby in the U.S. He details the group’s close ties with figures such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Director Mike Waltz, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe - relationships cultivated over many years.

The audio recording also includes remarks by Dana Stroul ... a former Pentagon official under the Biden administration.

An unidentified speaker, also raises concerns about the future impact of AI on public discourse - warning that AI-generated content, will reflect the current internet landscape & vaguely alluding to the rise in Pro-Palestine sentiments amid ISR’s ongoing genocidal war on the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank!

And NB: "Every debate IS A DISTRACTION. Genocide is happening right now. People are being starved to death under a torrent of bombs - this is the only story / every thing else is hasbara spin. Gaza is being exterminated - there is no other conversation and no, there are not « two sides » on this"! FROM ...

Here are some helpful videos for people, even novices, to get into this fascinating area of physics with potentially huge technological and financial significance: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5-CrYPoLfxqefVXg5UAq9u6NDV1O0lB5&si=UPvBah5lczTXoj58

Superconductivity has been discovered more than a century ago. High-temperature superconductivity (at critical temperature > 77K, that of cheap readily available liquid nitrogen) has been known in cuprates since 1987, nearly an entire 40-year generation ago and it still lacks a good explanation.

The cuprates provide a hint to their superconductivity, though: its 2-D arrangement of atoms in a multiple layered crystal lattice molecule.

We have recently discovered nickelates to have amazingly high-critical-temperature superconductivity, too: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00450-3

On the periodic table of chemical elements, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, and zinc are all transition metals. There are also magnesium, zinc, and oxygen three-element-only superconductors.

The concept of mass is malleable.

Physics' reigning Standard Model's using the Higgs mechanism to give all massive particles their mass via the cosmic spontaneous symmetry breaking resulting in the Higgs field means that we can ARTIFICIALLY design a Bose-Einstein condensate made of charge-carrying particles to create room-temperature ambient-pressure superconductors.

Can we design Goldstone bosons in crystal lattices out of charge particles such as electrons via symmetry breaking of the electromagnetic field of the atoms in molecules to conduct electricity? The answer is probably yes.

If quantum-fluctuating space is a superconductor of massive particles allowing masses to flow without any resistance(i.e. inertia), maybe a superconductor can also be a quantum-fluctuating space allowing an electrically charged Bose-Einstein condensate to flow without any resistance. Electron mass is currently a hindrance to room-temperature ambient-pressure superconductors by its not being small enough but fractionally charged aggregate-in-the-crystal-lattice particles of smaller mass than an electron may be possible.

Any tightly bound moiety can have a lower mass than their individual components not bound into the group so an aggregate of electrons can have a mass smaller than the sum of the electrons' mass. I suspect that the more relevant charge conductors in a material lattice is the electronic hole, though, because there are very few nearly free electrons in a highly conducting material with lattices.

Regardless of the type of the metal used in the cat's whisker crystal radio wave detector (i.e. a rectifier), the type of the surface states in the semiconductor (such as galena or PbS or silicon or Si) were always of the p-type with electrons missing, not the n-type of electrons conducting. Research effort trying to understand this independence of metal type led to the invention of the [bipolar junction] transistor in Bell Telephone Laboratories.
