By exposing libc functions to our module, and granting it capabilities to access resources outside of its environment, we are now able to write programs that look much more like the native binaries we are used to. That’s enough to get us started, but check back for more posts as I continue diving deeper into…
“This protocol has all the hallmarks of teleportation except for one essential ingredient: it requires a bright laser beam to make the nonlinear detector efficient so that the sender could know what is to be sent, but doesn’t need to know,” explains Forbes. “In this sense, it is not strictly teleportation, but could be in…
On Dec. 12, 2023, a C-5M Super Galaxy and a KC-10 Extender conducted a reverse flow air refueling training over Northern California and Oregon, as part of a PoC (Proof of Concept) designed to maintain readiness in emergency situations to prevent loss of a tanker aircraft. The C-5M offloaded 23,500 pounds of fuel in approximately thirty minutes to the KC-10…
More Chibi wonderfulness Today we’re going we are going to light up a Valentine’s themed love card with some pretty pink LED Light Stickers and also one of our cool Animating Rainbow Fade Stickers. https://chibitronics.com/2023/12/18/glowing-hearts-card-featuring-the-animating-rainbow-fade-pink-led-light-stickers/
Renewables will cover 52% of Germany’s total electricity needs in 2023 — a five percentage point increase from the year before, according to preliminary calculations by solar and hydrogen research group ZSW and energy industry association BDEW.
The on going destruction of Twitter is having some really interesting 2nd order effects. Threads is kicking ass and implementing (extending and embracing/enclosing, but let’s take the win) ActivityPub. We’re in a lovely moment of open standards flourishing. The fediverse is fun and hopeful while it lasts. “Basically, we’re in the process of replacing our…
[Lawrence] Cheuk calls the utilization of molecules for quantum science “a new frontier”, adding that the team’s ability to showcase entanglement essentially on-demand represents a significant step toward eventually demonstrating that molecules could be used in practical systems for the application of quantum science. “Our results demonstrate the key building blocks needed for quantum applications…
The team show how a silicon nitride photonics crystal with a thin silicon membrane can achieve the high levels of reflectivity in the 1300nm to 1500nm wavelengths required for light sails. The potential in the sails is significant with the manufacturing techniques able to scale up to several metres which may well set the scene…
The award for the most comically dissonant image goes to: …visual juxtaposition aside. This is really promising. Sisal is an invasive plant in rural Kenya, where it is often planted as livestock fencing and feedstock. It doesn’t require fertilizer, and its leaves can be harvested all year long over a five- to seven-year span. Odundo…
