I’m Victoria, and this site mostly has my sewing projects and science writing, with a sprinkling of older poetry & etc.
I’m a prairie kid, parent of two, celiac, and like lane swimming. I love to research. I did my undergrad in physics & English with a math minor. I’m now doing a Master’s in economics.
A note about the blog title: in math and physics, the prefix eigen means one's own. It comes from the german, but mostly I always liked thinking about a particle's eigenvalues, and thought I might apply the same thought to my excursions.
Cuprate superconductors operate at higher temperatures than any other superconductors ever identified. Scientists hope to one day develop a room-temperature superconductor, harnessing insights about this unusual material.University of Waterloo and Cornell University researchers Christopher McMahon, Haofei Wei, and Cissy Suen are studying a type of cuprate crystal as it transitions from its superconductive and non-superconductive state.
