Cool! I wonder, how does it compare to an EQD Hoof?

 

We finally have an answer: The beginning and the end of the sliding motion that produces static electricity experience different forces – resulting in a charge differential between the front and the back that results in the crackle of static electricity.

 

A long-sought invisible force wrapped around Earth has been detected more than half a century after it was first hypothesized.

The field, dubbed the "polar wind," explains how Earth's atmosphere escapes easily and rapidly above the north and south poles, and may have played a role in shaping our planet's thin upper atmosphere.

From what I gather, past insulator discoveries allowed electron flow in three or two dimensions, but this new discovery only allows flow in one dimension. I think of it like plumbing, where you have a tee, and the water (electrons) travel through the pipe in three directions (dimensions). Restricting the flow of electrons allows for better focus/flow, which makes for more precise electronic engineering methods.

An EE might be able to elaborate better than my crappy plumbing analogy.

 

Scientists have identified a one-dimensional topological insulator that could revolutionize quantum computing and solar cell efficiency. This groundbreaking discovery paves the way for advancements in quantum computing and solar cell efficiency.

I have not! Gotta give that a listen, thanks for the heads-up!

Mmm, my order of favorite Ween albums would be Chocolate and Cheese, Quebec, White Pepper.

But Mollusk has some bangers on it too (Buckingham Green).

Why yes, yes I am down with the brown.

Good to know, thanks for sharingn Glad to hear you've found a solution.

I have noticed a similar behavior on one of my machines recently. Usually it's a video (or recently played Spotify song) that gets 'stuck' there. Have you tried opening a new instance of Firefox, playing a video, then lock the computer (win + L) to see if it- at the very least- changes/updates to the newly opened video?

Looks tasty!
