Snack time before going to the library for a couple of volunteer hours. I barely slept last night. I don’t trust my calculations at all today. They were terribly wrong, but no worries. All has been corrected, but I don’t feel like taking a new photo. All I want to do is sleep, and Mom is threatening to not let me go to dance tonight, but that isn’t happening. And I like going to the library and helping out with the activities and planning. She’s upset because I didn’t finish lunch and she says that if I’m not eating, I’m not dancing. I get it. I do. But I’m tired of the nagging.

Accomplished today:

Practice with Euler’s number, permutations, and combinations (100%)

Am Lit vocab and reading on characterization

Read Uncle Tom’s Cabin Ch 6-7 and updated reading log

Spanish 3 quiz on formal commands (100%)

Duolingo

U.S. History readings/notes and comparison on lives of Civil War children

Chemistry Lab (heat exchange between metal and water)

Art Appreciation notes and artist summary (James Whistler - Arrangement in Grey and Black: Portrait of the Painter's Mother or Whistler’s Mother)

Piano practice

Volunteering at library (2 hours)

Toward molecular computers: First measurement of single-molecule heat transfer

Heat transfer through a single molecule has been measured for the first time by an international team of researchers led by the University of Michigan.

This could be a step toward molecular computing—building circuits up from molecules rather than carving them out of silicon as a way to max out Moore's Law and make the most powerful conventional computers possible.

Moore's Law began as an observation that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit doubles every two years, doubling the density of processing power. Molecular computing is widely believed to be Moore's Law's end game, but many obstacles stand in the way, one of which is heat transfer.

"Heat is a problem in molecular computing because the electronic components are essentially strings of atoms bridging two electrodes. As the molecule gets hot, the atoms vibrate very rapidly, and the string can break," said Edgar Meyhofer, U-M professor of mechanical engineering.
