‘Incomprehensible’ birth of supercrystal explained

Two years ago, a research team led by Utrecht University published an article in Science explaining how they had created a material with unique and extremely interesting electronic characteristics. In this 'supercrystal’, the electrons move almost with the speed of photons, and the electric current can be switched on and off. This makes it ideal for ultra-fast electronics. But at the time, the researchers were at a loss to explain how this 'supercrystal’ obtained its unique structure. Now they have unravelled the mystery, and it appears to involve a completely different mechanism for crystal formation. This is an important insight for research into new materials with unique electronic characteristics. The results of their research were published online in Nature Materials.

The 'supercrystal’ develops when tiny nanocrystals form a perfectly ordered surface one layer thick. In this super-matrix, the structure of the atoms – A, B, A, B – precisely follows that of the nanocrystals itself. “But how such a neatly ordered super-matrix could be born from all of those nanocrystals was incomprehensible to us,” says Prof. Daniël Vanmaekelbergh from Utrecht University. “Now that we have insight into how the matrix is formed, we can conduct much more focused research into how we can make the structures that we would like to have.”

The Psychosis Checklist

What is psychosis? Are you experiencing it? Psychosis can manifest in different ways, and this checklist can help you figure out if what you’re experiencing is indeed psychosis. One may use it to self-diagnose or as a worksheet to present to a doctor or therapist  or other medical professional and better communicate symptoms they are experiencing. All information is taken from the DSM-5.

In order to for your experience to be considered psychosis, you must experience ONE or more of the following:

Delusions

Hallucinations

Disorganized Thinking

__ / 3

Delusions Must check ONE or more of the following:

I experienced fixed beliefs which won’t change even when I am faced with contradicting evidence.

I am convinced an individual or group is going to harm me, even though I have no evidence they want to do so, and no reason to believe they do. (Exception: Many people who feel someone intends to harm them do have reason for doing so, but are gaslighted into believing they are instead delusional.)

I will believe certain gestures, comments, or environmental cues are directed at me, even once it’s proven to me they are not.

I believe I have exceptional abilities, wealth, or fame.

I believe someone is in love with me, even when they have told me they are not.

I believe a major catastrophe is going to occur, despite having no evidence or being presented with evidence disproving my belief.

I am preoccupied with the thought something is wrong with my body or organs, despite having no symptoms or having proof nothing is wrong with me.

I feel as if my thoughts are not my own, or that I am being controlled.

__ / 8

Symptoms MUST cause distress in social, occupational, or interpersonal functioning.

Hallucinations Must check ONE or more of the following:

I experience incredibly vivid experiences without an external stimulus.

I hear voices, whether familiar or unfamiliar, which are separate from my own thoughts.

I see things which are not really there, very clearly as if they are physically there.

__ / 3

Symptoms MUST only be present while the person is fully awake, and not right before going to bed or when just waking up. Hallucinating before and after sleep is quite normal.

Disorganized Thinking Must check ONE or more of the following:

I switch from one topic to another very quickly, and the topics are not related to each other at all.

My answers to questions are hardly related to the questions asked, or not related at all.

My speech is disorganized and it’s hard to understand me. (must be severe enough to impair communication, as disorganized speech is common in non-psychotic disorders)

Few more weeks to prelims! We got this!! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

What do you do when you begin to feel numb again? What do you do when you’re sitting in class and suddenly it’s like a dark cloud is sitting over your head and everyone’s smiling and laughing but in your eyes it looks like everyone’s laughing at you, smiling at your pain. What do you do when the people you love ask if you’re okay and you try to explain but all that comes out is “I’m fine, just tired” and they nod and smile and the dark cloud begins to rain because you can’t.fucking.open.yourself.up.to.love. What do you do when everyday you wake up and it’s like what next? What else is there until I feel okay again? What do you do?
