Physicists Say We're Officially at the "Threshold of Nuclear Fusion Ignitio

Scientists at the LLNL's National Ignition Facility (NIF) are using a powerful laser to heat and compress hydrogen fuel, with the goal of initiating fusion. In order to reach the milestone of "ignition," they must show that the energy released by fusion exceeds the energy delivered by the laser.

The coronavirus may be evolving to be more airborne, new studies hint | Sci

Small aerosol particles spewed while people breathe, talk and sing may contain more coronavirus than larger moisture droplets do. And the coronavirus may be evolving to spread more easily through the air, a new study suggests. But there is also good news: Masks can help.

How Many Decimals of Pi Do We Really Need? - Edu News | NASA/JPL Edu

Earlier this week, we received this question from a fan on Facebook who wondered how many decimals of the mathematical constant pi (π) NASA-JPL scientists and engineers use when making calculations: Does JPL only use 3.14 for its pi calculations? Or do you use more decimals like say: 3. How Many Decimals of Pi Do We Really Need? - Edu News | NASA/JPL Edu

Really Advanced Typescript Types. We explore custom compilation errors… | b

In my last article, I introduced the idea that Typescript is ever evolving to accommodate different personas. Today, I dive into a great deal of detail of how Tableau developers embrace their inner mathematician and fully leverage Typescript’s type system. Really Advanced Typescript Types. We explore custom compilation errors… | b

Nobelist Harald zur Hausen and the Scamferences – For Better Science

This famous French dessert consists of a vanilla custard with a texture similar to flan, and a delicious caramel on top. It’s super smooth, perfectly sweet, and so light! And to take this crème caramel to the next level, I included a crunchy salted coconut topping! SO GOOD! Nobelist Harald zur Hausen and the Scamferences – For Better Science

Computational train track layouts

Welcome to Turing Trains. These pages explore the design and construction of train track layouts capable of binary computation. Simple functions are combined to create complex layouts, and assembled to construct a programmable computer. Computational train track layouts

Thomas Midgley Jr.: The Man Who Harmed the World the Most

Thomas Midgley Jr. was an American mechanical engineer born on May 18, 1889, in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. He liked to experiment with extremely poisonous chemical substances without any concern for the consequences this could bring to the world, the population, and the environment.

Synthetic brain cells that store 'memories' are possible, new model reveals

Scientists have created key parts of synthetic brain cells that can hold cellular "memories" for milliseconds. The achievement could one day lead to computers that work like the human brain. Current computers can do incredible things, but this processing power comes at a high energy cost. Synthetic brain cells that store 'memories' are possible, new model reveals
