„This pollen can then be deposited on subsequently visited flowers, either by direct contact, or similarly through electrostatic attraction, because the pollen can equalize to the potential of the pollinator, and will then experience an attractive force towards the electric field of the flower. Experimental evidence demonstrates this bidirectional electrostatic pollen transfer.“

They do need to ask for cookies meant to siphon off people's data for all other purposes.

Feel free to modify this as needed, e.g. by having a 6x1 connector on one side splitting into 4x1 and 2x1 on the other if that’s how the cables group. Or use a …x2 connector if the pin header has two rows like here.
You will love it, believe me.
From what I know it is just cheaper to flare natural gas that occurs as byproduct of oil production than to deal with it otherwise.
In the second experiment with directional bias the particles are experiencing a constant drift on top of the random walk (or are maybe having unequal probabilities of moving in different directions?)

These are certainly impressive numbers!
People washed and disinfected their hands a lot more often and thoroughly during the pandemic. At least here in Germany. They stopped shaking hands, washed them thoroughly (at least twenty seconds, using soap) and disinfected them when entering or leaving stores. Now they shake hands again and the disinfectant is gone. Who knows how everyone is washing their hands today. It’s not far fetched to suspect that this behavior might have helped.
One might wonder how much of Joy's hyperosmia was acquired by continuous training, similar to how a sommelier learns to discern flavours.
Example with 23 touch buttons if I counted that correctly:
“We know what people don’t like about [RP]2040,” Upton admitted at the event, “the [Arm Cortex-]M0+ [architecture], could have more RAM, could have more GPIO [General-Purpose Input/Output], and we know what people do like — the PIO [Programmable Input/Output blocks]… and we have a chip team.”, [0][1]
That doesn't sound too bad, hmm?

I found shapes that do not work well with the simulation: a very wide and narrow shape (like a needle) oscillates wildly and does not seem to stop or to even slow down.
