Bite-sized threads showing stuff working, sometimes not working too. We can learn from both. Check out my site for my latest projects.

NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured a striking image of a strong solar flare that erupted from the Sun on February 4, 2026. In the NASA image, the flare appears as a bright flash against the solar disk in extreme ultraviolet wavelengths that have been colorized in

Starch gelatinization is the irreversible, thermally driven disruption of native starch granules when heated in the presence of sufficient water. Native starch granules are semicrystalline, with amylopectin double helices forming crystalline lamellae and amorphous regions

Waymo just announced a major update to how it trains and tests its autonomous driving system called the Waymo World Model. This is a generative simulation model built on Google DeepMind’s Genie 3 world model and adapted specifically for autonomous driving research and

Archaeologists have uncovered 430,000 year old wooden tools at Kalambo Falls, making them the oldest wooden tools ever found. That alone is extraordinary, because wood almost never survives that long. What makes it more important is what it says about early human behavior. These

Researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and the University of Tokyo have developed a prototype material called botanical sand concrete that uses desert sand combined with plant-based additives. In conventional concrete, sand must be a specific
A new material developed by NTNU and University of Tokyo researchers could make desert sand usable in construction. https://t.co/4smrs0HQjV

Quantum randomness is not ignorance hiding a deeper clockwork. It is a real feature of nature, bounded by strict statistical rules and confirmed by experiments designed specifically to eliminate alternative explanations.

What remains are three options. Outcomes are fundamentally probabilistic. Reality is nonlocal in a precise, constrained way. Or the universe is superdeterministic, meaning every measurement choice is pre-correlated with the system being measured. The last option is logically

That room closed in 2015. Independent experiments using entangled photons and electron spins simultaneously closed the detection, locality, and freedom-of-choice loopholes. The results matched quantum predictions and violated Bell inequalities by wide margins. Any theory that

Over the following decades, experiments consistently violated Bell inequalities, but critics pointed to loopholes. Detectors were inefficient. Measurement settings might not be independent. Signals might travel between detectors. Each loophole left room for determinism to hide.

Quantum randomness is not hidden determinism For decades, physicists asked whether the randomness seen in quantum mechanics was real or just a sign of missing information. The idea was simple. Maybe particles carry hidden variables that determine outcomes in advance, and

Scientists aboard a deep-sea research expedition off the coast of Argentina recently captured footage of an enormous jellyfish that researchers say can grow as large as a school bus. The creature is a rare species known as the giant phantom jellyfish (Stygiomedusa gigantea),

Transistors are the fundamental active components that let us control electrical signals. In practical use, we rely on them in three tightly related roles: switching, amplification, and signal conditioning inside larger systems such as logic circuits, power electronics, and

Cracking Antarctic Sea Ice 🧊 🌎 In this region, fast ice (sea ice that is attached to the shoreline) commonly forms during the Southern Hemisphere winter. In the austral summer this ice has to be cleared to allow ships to reach McMurdo Station, a major research base. To do
