MIT physicists have successfully demonstrated the Pauli exclusion principle, where a cloud of atoms that are ultra-cooled lose their ability to scatter light and start to become less visible.
Captain Peter Hackett of The Royal Air Force has set a world record for the first flight fuelled with synthetic fuel. The flight lasted 21 minutes on fuel made from captured carbon dioxide from the air combined with hydrogen molecules from water.
Researchers from the Southern University of Science and Technology and Fudan University in China and the University of Leeds in the UK teamed up to demonstrate an improved use of gold nano-particles in the fight against bacteria. The research shows that combined antibacterial methods using gold nano-particles successfully reduced the severity of the bacteria while also increasing the efficacy of antibiotics.
Researchers at Singapore University of Technology & Design created a single wing monocopter drone that weights 69 grams, is foldable, and can fly for 16 minutes.
Information Is Beautiful illustrates the difference between 1.5°C vs 2°C vs 4°C temperature increases when it comes to sea level rises, ocean acidification, heat & food production. Bear in mind 1.5°C is inevitable and the bare minimum that will happen and we are currently on track for 2.4°C temperature increase.
A new 5D optical storage technique developed at the University of Southampton would allow 500TB of data to be stored on an optical storage disc for 13.8 billion years. The new writing method uses lasers to write at 230 kbps, taking 2 months to fill the disc with 500TB.
Ire Aderinokun at bitsofcode put together a nice overview of website performance metrics, such as First Contentful Paint (FCP), along with the ideal times for each metric.
