“This is way more challenging than what people have done so far,” — Yuan-Yu, acknowledging the large magnitude of creating the smallest clock.
Imagine a timepiece smaller than a sugar cube, measuring time with astonishing accuracy.
In a remarkable pursuit of precision, Yuan-Yu Jau and his team at Sandia National Laboratories are pushing the boundaries of timekeeping technology, striving to craft the world’s tiniest atomic clock.
Major change in the software: No human-written rules, just pure learning.

After participating in a recent Tough Mudder obstacle course challenge, at least 22 people have reported developing odd rashes and fevers.
Scientists at Stanford University have designed a new paint that could help reduce our growing reliance on air conditioners and heaters.
It comes in an array of colors, and if used properly, it could seriously slash electricity bills and emissions.
The paint is capable of reflecting up to 80 percent of mid-infrared light from the Sun, which is 10 times more reflection than conventional colored paints.

A lot of scientists make jokes about people who do their own research. I want you to know, it’s of course completely okay if you do your own research — provided you do it right. But how do you do that? I have collected some tips that I hope you will find useful.

These 120 people (91 pictured due to size restrictions) have dedicated their lives, their ideas and often a lot of capital to bring these amazing ideas to practice. Their language is passionate and the ideas they have can at one end be big and bold, and at the other end it can get extremely technical and nuanced. Imagine trying to take these vast ideas covering so many dimensions and the hundreds of thousands of words in these conversations and try and see patterns or signals. These interviews form the underbelly of the next book I am working on, titled Envisage, 100 ideas about the world of ten years from now.
Two years ago, maybe one year ago, this would have either been a very manual and forensic examination by a team of people with expertise in the areas or a building a database. Days, weeks and even months would go by with lot of revisions.
On a drizzly afternoon, Yan Zhao pointed to the trees visible from his campus window.
As a chemistry professor at Iowa State University, he is pioneering the creation of novel synthetic catalysts that break down cellulose, the plant fibers responsible for the trees’ height and strength.
“Cellulose is built to last – a tree doesn’t just disappear after rain,” Zhao said. “Cellulose is a huge challenge to break down.”
