Debian 10 “buster” moved to archive.debian.org
Debian 10 "buster" has moved to archive.debian.org in order to free
space on the main mirror network. We plan to start removing files for
non-LTS architectures in about two weeks; the existing Release files
will then refer to no longer existing files on the main mirror network.
An exception is the security archive (which already has no non-LTS
architectures): we will only archive it after LTS support ended.
For LTS users this does not require any changes.
People interested in Debian history will have to refer to
archive.debian.org in the future.

Heavy Element Alchemy
Interesting article from SciTechDaily about the formation of the heavy elements.
This infographic may also be of interest, it is published by c&en.

Digital pH Tester
I recently ordered a digital pH meter to go with some of the Chemistry resources at the STEM event and at home.
This is a nice little unit, using 2x LR44 (AG13) cell batteries, I did a quick test on some tap water and some vinegar and got expected results. Seems tap water is slightly on the acidic side, so i may have to do proper experimentation with this.
Easy to set, just add batteries, take off protective cover and place in the liquid that you want to test.
One comment that the instructions are in Chinese, which isn't really helpful, but the unit is easy to use, with some common sense and problem-solving skills.
Measurements are from pH 0 to pH 14, with increments of 0.01 so it should be possible to measure very small changes or gradual changes that may take place during reactions for example.
I will be using this at a future STEM group meeting in the meantime, there is an experiment I want to undertake anyway and this will be ideal.

Nuclear weapons in space
Interesting article and video on what could happen if nuclear weapons were detonated in space.
Link to article and video here
What is interesting, and I did comment on this point is that if an EMP pulse takes out enemy facilities, they can also take out facilities by the country using that weapon too.
Video still makes some useful points.

Simple motor and fan
I have built this as part of a robot car project, However this set up works better as a stand-alone fan, than it does to drive a small wheeled vehicle forward. So sharing anyway.
Given the problems, give me a Chemistry set any day.
