Experimental Evidence of the Covalency Trend in Actinide Orbitals Through Scattering Technique

Experimental Evidence of the Covalency Trend in Actinide Orbitals Through Scattering Technique

Recent investigations have shed light on the complex behavior of the 5f orbital in early actinides, offering experimental validation for theoretical concepts of covalency. By analyzing the hexachlorides of tetravalent uranium, neptunium, and plutonium through x-ray scattering, scientists were able to identify the differing inner and outer components of the 5f orbitals. The research indicates […]

Disproving the Fallacy: Ibn al-Haytham and the Scientific Approach

Disproving the Fallacy: Ibn al-Haytham and the Scientific Approach

Ihtesham Ali, with his 29.5k followers on Twitter, seems to be a recurring offender. After completely messing up a description of al-Khwarizmi’s *al-Kitāb al-Mukhtaṣar fī Ḥisāb al-Jabr wal-Muqābalah*, he then tackled Ibn al-Haytham’s *Kitāb al-Manāẓir* (Book of Optics) in 640 enthusiastic words. While this attempt is not as disastrous as his post on al-Khwarizmi, it […]
