Hmmm.

 

I'm quite sure our friends at Rockwell Automation have already produced a product that skillfully exploits negative capacitance as Mike Kraft so clearly explains,



Oh wait, that's capacitive duractance, produced by the modial interaction of magneto-reluctance supplying inverse reactive current for use in unilateral phase detractors ...

 

Ah yes; the dinglearm! Had mine serviced last week....

Bring back the ether!

 

My issue of NATURE hasn't come in yet....will give it a read.

 

Beware of sinosoidal depleneration

 

Gurglespring...grammeters...

FOUNDATIONS OF AMATEUR RADIO!

 

That reminds me, my subscription to the Journal of Irreproducible Results ran out. A few issues back they solved the theory of everything in one fell swoop:

Something of a little "scientific" nature maybe -

Periodic table is...

'chocolate'; 'vanilla'; 'strawberry'....ad nauseum

 

Podcastworthy breaking news in Down Under on the Zed.

 

It gets confusing with negative capacitance electrolytics, since you need to ignore the polarity.

 

So what else is new? My wife has had this for years!

 

What about the capacitors passing DC when supercooled to absolute zero?

 

Forget about old fashioned magnetic inductance, how about ultra compact intercalated graphene kinetic inductors?

 

Looks like you have your hands full in that challenge to "irreproducible research" ...

There is always alarm concerning results that cannot be reproduced. Explanations include increased levels of scrutiny, complexity of experiments and statistics, and pressures on researchers. Journals, scientists, institutions and funders all have a part in tackling reproducibility, or the lack thereof.
