I am developing a STM32H7 board which will be programmed via SWD. I am curious, is there any reason why I should connect BOOT0 pin to GND via resistor and not directly to GND? I won't be using the bootloader but can it happen that I accidentally disable the debug port from software and then c...

Lately I have been developing a good relationship with Prof. Wright. She has clearly* gone out of her way a few times to help me, having a very pleasant, generous, and kind personality.

Interferometry is among the best ways (if not, the best way!) to have an image of a very distant object. Recently a picture of the black hole at the center of M87 was released. It is the result of several data collected by the Event Horizon Telescope, a series of arrays all across our world, wor...

I'm no expert on the applicable law regarding tariffs and international trade, but I do know that the most famous tariff policy in US history was the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, named after two members of Congress who were its principal sponsors.

Since matrix mutiplication is not commutative, the two ways in which you can factorize matrices makes a difference in which side the factor goes on. In particular, if I want to distribute $$((I - A) + A)(I - A)^{-1},$$ would it become $$(I - A)(I - A)^{-1} + A(I - A)^{-1} $$ OR would it be ...

I learned that plasma can reflect radiations of frequency less than that of its own oscillations. If so, considering the plasma in Sun's atmosphere, it should also reflect solar radiations. That would mean that the radiation emitted from the lower layers of the Sun would be reflected back by t...

The first ever black hole was "pictured" recently, per an announcement made on 10th April, 2019. See for example: https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-47873592 .
