Prelude

Welcome to Dice With the Universe!

Generally, I am going to put some thoughts from my life here. They will usually have to do with my translation work or with my writing. Your comments are welcome.

Thanks.

The title of the blog, for those interested, is a part of a paraphrase of Albert Einstein's words -- "God doesn't play dice with the universe." The words originally meant Einstein's scepticism about Quantum Physics (that gives a statistical chance of an event occurring), but I use this phrase as a general guideline to life. Things don't happen randomly. If we want to succeed we need to make it happen ourselves.

Welcome again. Enjoy your stay.

Some good news

Well, apparently good news come in packs. There are some very exciting things happening with the paper I mentioned in my previous posts. I will update once those are finalized. In the meanwhile our previous paper got a news release on the University of Nebraska -- Lincoln web page. It's, obviously, not the Washington Post, but it is still cool.

Paper publication

The paper I mentioned in the previous post had been posted on-line as a pre-publication process in ACS Nano. It's been an interesting journey with this paper, to say the least. Some of it good, some of it bad. What is remarkable, is that it showed very strongly to me that although science is supposedly objective, in reality it is subjective in many respects, or, at least, open to interpretations :-) Anyway, here is the link to the prepub. I will post a link on the side bar when the paper is out officially.
