#ytterbium

Yttrium designed by @ichibin-irish & nostuyx, Terbium designed by @ichibin-irish, @aninkyworldofnightnares, nostuyx & zutlk, Erbium designed by @ichibin-irish, and Ytterbium designed by @ichibin-irish & Bhapy

Yttrium now has wings, and brand new cheek fur, a YBCO dogtag and a neat fur coat. Terbium got a full redesign, with new hair, a captain hat due to her use in NAVAL sonars, and a green sonar instead of red due to her phosphor use.

hi chat :3 edited some absolutenutcase comics bc why not :p

Ytterbium atomic clock could open a new window on fundamental physics

For the first time, an international team of physicists has successfully harnessed a rare orbital transition in atoms of ytterbium to create a new type of atomic clock that is both highly precise and extremely sensitive to fundamental physical effects. Publishing their results in Nature Photonics, the researchers, led by Taiki Ishiyama at Kyoto University, say their approach could pave the way for some of the most stringent tests yet of predictions made by the Standard Model. Underperforming precision To measure the passing of time, an atomic clock excites an electron in confined atoms to a higher energy level, then interrogates the transition frequency of the atoms. Because these oscillations display such little variation, atomic clocks are the most accurate timekeepers ever developed.

the whole team ytterby as paper dolls!!! also tomorrow for me it's the day when i bring Sf to the movie theater or cinema since some of u voted yes in the poll i made...

more pictures under the cut!

What are your thoughts on ytterbium?
