Controlling light “has been a recurring research theme since antiquity.”
An international group of researchers, led by a team at MIT, spent more than four years developing technologies for high-speed optical beam forming.
The researchers also developed a pioneering fabrication process that will ensure the quality of the device if and when it is manufactured at scale.

Researchers advance efforts to create groups of robots that could construct almost anything.
When it comes to the manufacturing of commercial aircraft, different parts are manufactured at various locations. Before finally bringing them all together in a central plant and putting the finished aeroplane together, the tail components, the fuselage, and the wings are made at different plants.
Many other large structures, besides aircraft, are also built in sections.

The space elevator — a structure that reaches into the sky — might feel like a distant, farfetched concept, but it could be closer than we think. In an op-ed for Scientific American.

In an op-ed for Scientific American, Physics professor Stephen Cohen at Vanier College in Montreal, Quebec, said he believes the sci-fi-like technology could be a reality within “the next two or three decades.”
Further studies of the meteorite are in peril, though.
A meteorite that fell in Somalia in 2020 is home to at least two minerals that are not found on our planet. The two minerals were identified by researchers at the University of Alberta, a press release said.
Large meteorites are rare but do occur, such as the one that fell near the town of El Ali in Somalia a couple of years ago. The celestial piece of rock weighs a massive 16.

The Y chromosome carries a gene called SRY, which turns on male genes on other chromosomes.
The Amami spiny rat, one of the species that lack a Y chromosome and the Sry.
As per the press release, under normal conditions, the Sry gene on the Y chromosome triggers the formation of the testes. However, the Sry gene, along with the Y chromosome, has vanished in a small number of rodent species.

The anti-Apple crowd has the backing of the world’s richest person.
Elon Musk might have just propped himself as the new face of the anti-Apple group working to counter the iPhone maker’s monopoly in the app market. In a tweet, Musk accused Apple of threatening to withhold Twitter from the App Store without giving any specific reason and called it censorship.
Since his Twitter acquisition, Elon Musk has primarily been in the news for the things that have happened inside the social media company, whether it is firing half of the workforce or asking the remaining crew to commit more hours of work at a higher intensity to build a new version of the social media company.

Scientists have developed a programmable, wireless spatial light modulator that can manipulate light at the wavelength scale with orders-of-magnitude faster response than existing devices.

OrganEx—an extracorporeal pulsatile-perfusion system with cytoprotective perfusate for porcine whole-body settings—preserved tissue integrity, decreased cell death and restored selected molecular and cellular processes across multiple vital organs after 1 h of warm ischaemia in pigs.
Construction and 3D Printing. This is a really cool video. There is demand for affordable housing, and it can be built and rented out, or just lived in. Imagine if many people where you live are empowered with simple housing. Would it be a waste of money if it can pay for itself?
This is the cool company that makes these cool machines. The USA sent $1 billions in weapons to Ukraine in one month, to a war that costs $1 billion a month. Elon Musk just paid $44 billion for Twitter when a $50 billion investment in affordable housing could net him how much in rental income if the houses cost $15,000 in materials?
