Strength Reading glasses typically range from +0.25 to +2.50 diopters (the unit of measurement for eye prescriptions), though the average starting strength is usually around +0.75. In rare cases, reading glass strength can go up to +4.00. “Tips for buying reading glasses online are similar to buying ready-made reading glasses at the drugstore: it’s a convenient option, but it’s not a good idea for everyone,” says Dr. Ravi Goel, clinical spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. “

The physics of parabolic microphones: Frequency dependence of gain (2023)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-03 03:42:10

Introduction Parabolic microphones are known for their extreme sensitivity, and the origin of their acuity isn’t difficult to guess. It is the most obvious thing about them, which can also make them a liability for field use, namely, their considerable size. Just as a large amount of weak light is captured by a telescope’s parabolic mirror and made amenable to viewing with the much smaller human eye, so too are faint sounds harvested with a reflecting dish that far exceeds the dimensions of our

A Tiny Diamond Defect Could Be Blocking Fusion Breakthroughs

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-11-04 12:56:25

Every part of a fusion reactor is designed for maximum efficiency. Well, in theory, at least. In reality, the materials chosen to bring us closer to fusion don’t always perform as expected, leading to structural glitches that obstruct fusion reactions. Diamond capsules used to safely store hydrogen fuel are no exception, but a new study offers some guidance for researchers hoping to preemptively address these material shortcomings. In a recent Matter paper, material scientists describe how the

It has a 22-inch HD touchscreen that resembles a desktop computer screen, so it's huge. It also tilts and pivots so you can adjust it for different uses, like if you want to take workout classes on the floor.
