    MCNPX memory error: "bad trouble in imcn in routine dynamic allocation"

    I would like to ask about this error " bad trouble in imcn in routine dynamic allocate" this came up when I described a hexagonal fuel assembly with lat=2 fill=-17:17 -17:17 0:0 but it gave the error above. is there a maximum for this?

    A Flash memory and electron tunneling

    Flash memory depends on tunneling in order to work—electrons have to tunnel through an oxide layer. Now, the wavelength of an electron is at most 24 pm. An atom is on the order of 100 nm wide, and the oxide layer must be at least several atoms thick. How can there be any significant tunneling?

    Medical Does the human brain really have a limit for memory storage?

    I recently read that the “functional information content of human memory" as 10^9 bits at midlife based on testing of text and image retention” It makes sense that anything biological would have a limit but memory is such a strange thing that I can’t see how it would be like storing bytes on a...

    Can I add more memory to my phone?

    I have no more room on my phone. I've purged as much data as possible - including all photos, video, etc. When I had to install an app on my phone necessary for air travel documents, I had to delete a bunch of my favorite apps just to make room.

    I Can a quantum system with internal memory be in an energy eigenstate?

    If a system is in an eigenstate of the hamiltonian operator, the state of the system varies with time only with a "j exp(w t)" phase factor. So, the system is in a "stationary state": no variation with time of observable properties. But the system could in theory (for what I understand) be...
