Transparent wood windows would therefore be stronger and aid in temperature control better than traditional glass, but the view through them would be hazy, more similar to frosted glass than a regular window. However, the haziness could be an advantage if users want diffuse light: Since thicker wood is strong, it could be a partially…
Why do I get the feeling that the first words we translate aren’t going to be “welcome fellow travellers”? US Berkeley researchers used artificial intelligence to determine that some of the clicks used by whales to communicate are “on many levels analogous to human vowels and dipthongs,” the sound of two vowels in a single…
Elite is the game that got me into computing…
Ford and Resideo, a Honeywell Home thermostat brand, recently announced the EV-Home Power Partnership. It’s still in the testing phases, but it could help make EVs a more optimal purchase. Put simply, you could charge your EV when it’s cheap, and when temperatures or demand make grid power time-of-use expensive (or pulled from less renewable sources),…
This is really exciting to see. I really want to understand the lifetime numbers as Perovskite is traditionally short lived (super efficient, but nowhere near as stable as silicon).

One of the things about Andreessens impotent yelp for attention and relevance was that it became a stalking horse for some amazing commentary and history. The Santiago Boys by Evgeny Morozov is an electrifying example. We have forgotten more than we know when it comes to digital tech… Digital technologies have helped capital to extend…
I was a huge fan of the EV3 (which never arrived) and there was always talk that Morgan would electrify the Super3… the odds seem to be a little better today (🤞🤞): [Morgan] has revealed its latest development vehicle, XP-1: a Super 3 with an electric heart. Where the production Super 3 has a 1.5…
bbAir is a small desktop device that is able to display simple graphics, like alphanumeric characters and emojis, as air bubbles. Those air bubbles start at the base of the device and then float to the top, like the pixels on a scrolling LED matrix display turned on its side. It has 19 columns and…
