  • Entanglement on-demand achieved in breakthrough study pointing to “new frontier” in quantum science

    [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…

  • Photonic Crystals Could Be Exactly What Breakthrough Starshot is Looking For

    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…

  • A locally grown solution for period poverty

    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…

  • Smallest USB-C MIDI Synth

    I love everything about this… The purity of thought is :cheffy_kiss: Interestingly the design works with the hub, and it works if I plug it into my phone, but it doesn’t enumerate if I plug it straight into my laptop. But it does enumerate on the end of that noncompliant USB-C extension cable I’ve concocted.…

  • Why Vision Pro Will Change Photography

    The playback of the videos happens in what seems like a hazy, light, borderless frame, giving the videos a dreamlike quality. It is a very strange feeling — as if you have been transported back in time — and the videos have a dimensionality to them. The spatial videos I experienced felt more like memories…

  • NASA is investigating a strange series of coded messages from space. they’re coming from a familiar source.

    One of the problems the Voyager team faces, in addition to working across incredible distances to communicate with an Earthly spacecraft drifting at a solid 38,210 miles per hour on its way through interstellar space, has to do with technology that is now several decades old.

  • Tesla alum startup Lightship details the aero and extreme efficiency of its L1 electric RV

    We have followed Lightship since its inception, through to the official unveiling of its L1 electric RV trailer at SXSW this past March. This travel trailer is unique in its aerodynamic, modular design and comes equipped with its own all-electric powertrain and battery pack, alleviating the towing capacity for the vehicle in front of it. … Today,…

  • This new ‘world’s largest’ wind turbine makes power in severe typhoons

    It’s meant to be deployed in medium to high wind-speed regions and is particularly suitable for typhoon-prone sites. It comes equipped with active anti-typhoon technology capable of withstanding Category 17 typhoons (56.1-61.2 m/s), the most severe typhoon level. The massive wind turbine offers flexible power ratings ranging from 18.X to 20 MW and rotor diameters…

  • The Commodore Amiga and its Undying Adoration by Anarchist Creatives

    While my Acorn Archimedes was a vastly superior computer to the Amiga, I was always very jealous about the demos that my Amiga using friends had access to. This essay investigates the gestation of the demoscene, the Amiga platform’s revolutionary beginnings, its emotional resonance within a dedicated community, and its broader influence on the field…
