A neuromorphic camera can localize single fluorescent particles to below 20 nm resolution and evaluate the diffusion trajectory with millisecond temporal precision.
Paula and Bill Lishman spent many winters in a poorly-insulated A-frame cabin before realizing they needed to go underground to use the earth’s energy to stay warm, so they knocked the top off a hill, dropped in ferro-cement domes, and covered it up again with dirt.
Thanks to skylights cut into every dome and the white-powdered marble that covers the interior, their earth-sheltered home is naturally well-lit despite being below the frost line.

The space tech startup, AstroForge, hopes to complete two proof-of-concept missions this year using SpaceX rockets.
In what might be a groundbreaking moment in space industry history, a new startup plans to launch not one but two space missions this year. This might not sound like a big deal, but the company wants to go into space to find and use minerals from asteroids and other deep-space objects.

It can even liquefy and move through small spaces, just like T-1000 in Terminator 2.
An international team of scientists created sea cucumber-inspired miniature robots that can quickly shift between liquid and solid states.
They built the new robots with a material they dubbed a “magnetoactive solid-liquid phase transitional machine.” The robots are also magnetic and can conduct electricity, as per a press release.

They produced a signal a mind-bending short 53 billionths of a second.
A team of scientists broke the record for the shortest pulse of electrons ever created. They produced a signal a mere 53 attoseconds long. That’s a mind-bending short 53 billionths of a second.
The researchers say their new achievement could lead to more accurate electron microscopes and could also speed up data transmission in computer chips, as per an institutional press release.

Astrophotographers spotted what looks like a third tail flowing in front of, instead of behind, the glowing comet.
The green comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF), which last flew by Earth 50,000 years ago when Neanderthals still coexisted with humans, has been gradually making its way across the night sky over the last few days.
What’s more, as per a LiveScience report, this “anti-tail” appears to be flowing in the wrong direction and is, therefore, seemingly breaking the laws of physics.

The research is a huge milestone towards fusion energy that can power millions of homes and businesses with a carbon-neutral energy source.
Researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory announced that they observed a net gain in nuclear fusion energy for the very first time at the end of 2022. The research is a huge milestone towards fusion energy that can power millions of homes and businesses with a carbon-neutral energy source. However, converting this achievement into a practical nuclear energy source requires innovative technologies to bring fusion-powered society to life.
