Do Now 10-29

1. i have not created a wiki, and do not have the slightest interest in creating one.

2. it makes research easier for people.

3. If we can create one, we can use it to list daily rules and situations to better ourselves in the classroom. I suppose.

4. I have not created a wiki, and do not have the slightest interest in creating one.

Underdog of the Couch

There would probably be many different cases in which having an invisibility cloak would be good for everyone and myself. But, if I had the chance to utilize an invisibility cloak, I would be underneath everyone's couch cushions. When someone gets the chance to sit down on their couch, I will be there. When someone decides to sit down and fall asleep, I would be underneath them. Anytime, they decide to let out a fart, I would catch them. I would be......the underdog of the sofa world.

Do Now 10/7


I would add a study hall. Being able to do homework during the last period of the day would be ideal. Kids would get their homework done, and be able to relax afterwards. It would be held 8th period (or 7th period if gym were 8th), and held in the room next to the downstairs water fountain near the lockers. This would not only fix kids problems, it would fix the schools too. With homework getting done, the school's academic scores would skyrocket, causing better test scores and enhancing social interaction.

Tech Article 10/4: Micro-drum stores entanglement, brings the quantum age one step closer



dwave_quantum_chip


In their experiment the researchers managed to entangle their micro-drum, just 15 micrometers across and 100 nanometers thick, to a microwave pulse aimed at the system. By measuring the inciting pulse and assuming that their drum could store and retransmit the quantum state of that pulse as they intended, the researchers were able to predict the characteristics of the second pulse with very high accuracy. A single such prediction has little meaning, but over 10,000 repetitions of the experiment the researchers were able to definitively prove that their drum was storing the information with a high level of fidelity.
