Man Made Inside a 100 kilowatt laser gun
My photo of the inside of a Doctor X Photocathode - this whole space is around 1cm in diamaeter.
The fine details:
Looking upstream of a 100 kilovolt photocathode electron source from Doctor X (R&D company based in the Netherlands) with misaligned UV laser source that also outputs both green and UV light.
Inside this ultra-high vacuum chamber, pulses of ultraviolet laser light are used to create an electron beam. The laser enters from the right, reflects from a mirror (right structure), and strikes a polished copper disc at the centre of the image. The absorbed light releases electrons through the photoelectric effect, a phenomenon in which light can eject electrons from a material.
A 100 kilovolt electric potential then accelerates the electrons toward the camera. Electron sources such as this are the starting point for many linac accelerator used for medical imaging, radiotherapy and particle accelerators like ANSTO's Australian Synchrotron.
The photoelectric effect was one of the key discoveries that earned Albert Einstein the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics and today forms the basis of many modern technologies. For copper photocathodes, ultraviolet (UV) light has a higher quantum efficiency than visible light, meaning a larger fraction of photons successfully liberate electrons from the surface.
A collaboration between ANSTO and the University of Melbourne's XLAB to develop the technology needed for the next generation of particle accelerators.

Man Made Stumbled upon a park full of fairy villages
This off-the-beaten-path park came alive the further we wandered through. Tiny little easter eggs spread throughout suggested someone's years-long passion project and brought us great joy. Embrace whimsy!

Art My animal hospital papercraft diorama is ready
Okay so I have been doing this project for a time now.
This is a little Roblox game that I enjoy playing and decided to bring it to the real world. I'm really happy that I finally finished it. I would have finished it earlier but when it was already done, the base didn't fit inside the acrylic cube. I had to print the template and start it all over again .. I always measure the base in the cube to see if it fits perfectly but for this particular papercraft I just forgot Imao.
Everything was made by me. I had to find the original sprites and objects and restyle them a bit and add contours to make them look sharp. Had to completely design the wall and the floor because couldn't find the original textures lol
I struggled so hard cutting and pasting the super small medicine omg you don't understand... But with a little patience it ended up being easy and fun!
What y'all think?? If you want to make your own one I will be uploading the digital template on my little shop on my profile.
