What’s next in technology - sometimes I post photos.

My dad the organic chemist would have loved this breakthrough.

[World of Engineering @engineers_feed]

Polyethylene contains approximately 46 megajoules of chemical energy per kilogram (about ten times the energy content of TNT by mass) stored stably in its carbon-hydrogen bonds rather than as explosive potential.

The Oak Ridge molten-salt process announced this week is essentially an engineered way to release that energy as liquid fuel rather than letting it sit in a landfill.

Introducing Willow, our new state-of-the-art quantum computing chip with a breakthrough that can reduce errors exponentially as we scale up using more qubits, cracking a 30-year challenge in the field. In benchmark tests, Willow solved a standard computation in <5 mins that would take a leading supercomputer over 10^25 years, far beyond the age of the universe(!).

Mechazilla has caught the Super Heavy booster!

Complete innumeracy to ban solar geoengineering experiments. It’s like a few grams of sulfur dioxide. Think about everything else we pump into the atmosphere. https://t.co/8OXLHelY4U

[NASA Webb Telescope @NASAWebb]

🗓 July 12 — Save the date!

Count down with us to the big reveal of Webb’s first full-color images and spectroscopic data: https://t.co/hyZAYXvwfN

Small but mighty! This is a video of a killer T cell of the immune system destroying a monstrous ovarian cancer cell. I recently captured this data on a spinning disc confocal microscope.

What is the algorithm?

Just amazing

Today's Ax-1 mission provides one of the best SpaceX Falcon 9 first stage landing as an uninterrupted time lapse from the onboard camera [full coverage: https://t.co/eYX2wmhRaF]

[billstechview @BillsTechView]

Wow!

[Intel Doge @IntelDoge]

Eruption was visible from space using HIMAWARI-8 on RAMMB.

[billstechview @BillsTechView]

Great demonstration video. Basically same principle by which an induction stove works. As someone said, the levitation is useful to avoid using a crucible that could contaminate the material.

[Wonder of Science @wonderofscience]

Levitation melting suspends and melts metal with induction heating inside a magnetic field.

I spent more than 2 years trying to figure how to improve the institutions of basic science. I decided we need new ones.

Please welcome New Science into the world.

New blog post:

Is the Great Stagnation ending?
What technologies am I watching in the decade ahead?
Are we going to get life extension treatments soon?

5700+ words on all of this. Please read and share!

Three of my favorite sites for learning new things.

https://t.co/ZSDwmPQeU0: math and physics courses on the go.
https://t.co/7gQB2ME3K2: challenging programming problems with numerical answers.
https://t.co/IbAnb0X3P6: interactive learning of new programming languages.
