The strength of our armed forces depends on the different levels of training, skill, and experience of the ranks. There’s good reason why an artillery mechanic has a different skill set than a cyber operations officer or why a fighter pilot has unique training from a counterintelligence officer.

This is shown by agroecologists from the University of Göttingen, Germany and the Centre for Ecological Research in Vácrátót, Hungary.

Novel quantum effect discovered in naturally occurring graphene: International research team finds atomically-thin carbon generates its own magnetic field
Usually, the electrical resistance of a material depends very much on its physical dimensions and fundamental properties. Under special circumstances, however, this resistance can adopt a fixed value that is independent of the basic material properties and “quantised” (meaning that it changes in discrete steps rather than continuously). This quantisation of electrical resistance normally occurs […]
