Need to explain students about fixed points in dynamical systems, and I am making a plot of the most common cases (still not sure whether animating it would make it more or less understandable).

#WorkInProgress
The animated version of the one above.
Not yet satisfied with it.

#WorkinProgress
An alternative take (this definitively needs to be animated to work).

Rutherford scattering: At the beginning of the XX century it was accepted that atoms were a thing, but what an atom looked like was still an open question. An important piece of this puzzle was the realization that, if you shoot charged particles at a thin piece of material, most of them passed through with little to no deflection, but a few were scattered at very high angles, suggesting atoms' positive charge is concentrated in a small volume.

2022 has been a very (very) bad year for me. Hoping 2023 is going to be a bit better.

Usually to form an image you illuminate your object uniformly and then collect the light with a pixellated camera. But since Maxwell equations are reciprocal, we can swap the role of the camera with the illumination, and use a patterned illumination, and a detector without any spatial resolution.
This technique is called "ghost imaging" and it is mostly useful in those cases when pixellated cameras are hard to come by (e.g. for THZ radiation).
