On this day in 1945, a blinding flash in the New Mexican desert ushered in the Atomic Age. The world's first nuclear detonation, code-named "Trinity," unleashed unimaginable destructive power and forever altered the course of human history. While the Trinity test was a remarkable scientific achievement, it also cast a dark shadow over humanity. As we reflect on this pivotal moment, let us remember the responsibility that comes with such knowledge. In the years since, humanity has continued to push the boundaries of scientific exploration. Yet, the Trinity anniversary serves as a major reminder that true progress lies not just in expanding our understanding of the universe but in using that knowledge wisely, ethically, and for the betterment of all. Let this day inspire us to embrace education as a force for positive change, fostering critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and a deeper appreciation for the delicate balance we must strike between innovation and stewardship of our planet and its people. #HistoricMilestone #NuclearHistory #ResponsibleInnovation #LearningForChange

⚛️The Gold Foil Experiment by Geiger and Marsden: A Moment in Science History! 💫 In 1909, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden, under the guidance of Ernest Rutherford, opened the doors to nuclear physics with a simple gold foil. This experiment revealed the secrets at the heart of the atom, introducing us to the dense nucleus and sparking a revolution in modern physics. This small step showed that most of the atom is empty space and that positive charge is concentrated in a tiny, dense nucleus. This discovery laid the foundations for nuclear energy and technology, marking a giant leap in the advancement of science and humanity. Geiger and Marsden's bold move continues to inspire scientists today. Their discovery underscores the power of science and the boundless nature of curiosity. #SciencePassion #NuclearPhysics #GeigerMarsden #ScientificRevolution #Inspiration Find the original paper attached for those interested in diving deeper into this groundbreaking experiment.

Excited to share our latest publication in Scientific Reports from the Springer Nature Group: "Integrating Core Physics and Machine Learning for Improved Parameter Prediction in Boiling Water Reactor Operations." Thanks to the collaboration between Purdue University School of Nuclear Engineering and Blue Wave AI Labs that makes this work possible. Also, I want to express my appreciation to my advisors, supervisors, and co-authors: Jonathan Nistor, Tom Gruenwald, and Yunlin Xu. https://lnkd.in/gUMvvVAi Here, we explore the synergy between traditional reactor physics simulation and advanced machine learning techniques to enhance the prediction of key parameters in boiling water reactor operations. Check out the full article for insights into how this integrated approach can lead to more efficient and safer BWR operations.
