China develops cement that cools itself, drops temperature 9.72°F during day.

The supercool cement with intrinsic high-strength, and armored abrasive resistance achieved a significant temperature drop.

World’s most powerful detector to examine nuclear ‘fingerprints’ with 100x sensitivity.

With its incredible sensitivity, it promises to decode the “fingerprints” of atomic nuclei and reveal their secrets.

The launches this fall under $30K, offering a 75 kWh battery, up to 303 miles of range, and 10–80% charge in 35 minutes.

Researchers increasingly use online tools to advertise studies, recruit participants, and collect data, enabling access to individuals in remote or rural areas, those with limited mobility, and participants facing time constraints. While online platforms offer significant advantages, online research remains vulnerable to fraudulent activity, which can compromise the validity of study findings and deplete both funding and human resources. This special communication describes the real-world experiences of two research groups, one in Canada and one in the United States, who encountered fraudsters in both randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies.

Science helps us imagine the unfathomable vastness of space and time — and our small but meaningful place within it.

What a terrible day to have eyes.

Are you a technical founder who wants a better understanding of fundraising in startups? Well, I am too. That’s why I wrote up these notes which explore the mechanics and terminology associated with raising rounds. Hope you find this useful as well!

PDF version: Notes on Fundraising Mechanics for Startups by Logan Thrasher Collins Valuation A company’s valuation is initially an estimate of how much the company is worth as set by methods such as the following.

Asymmetric interactions between different species of molecules have previously been demonstrated to result in self-organized patterns and functions. If one species A is attracted to B, but in turn, B is repelled by A, run-and-chase dynamic emerges.

A recent Cambridge study reveals why sticky liquids don’t always spread evenly, knowledge that could help cut waste, improve product quality and make everyday technologies more reliable.

The research, led by Ph.D. student Saksham Sharma in the Particles, Soft Solids and Surfaces research group, has shown that there is a critical thickness where a retreating liquid film becomes unstable. Below this thickness, the film breaks apart and leaves evenly spaced lines of liquid as it retreats.

The study, published in Physical Review Fluids last month, highlights a delicate balance of forces. The properties of the liquid, the surface it is drawn across and the speed at which it recedes all combine to decide whether a film will stay smooth or split.

Scientists say Alaska could get up to 50 seconds of warning before major quakes, using technology adapted to the state’s unique seismic risks.
