Scientists have developed dielectric elastomer actuators, or artificial “muscles,” that can operate at low voltages while still producing high output to drive untethered, soft robotic fish movements.

Bu sarı lop denilen incire Amerika'da "Smyrna fig" ya da "Calimyrna" dendiğini öğrendim, California ve Smyrna kelimelerinin birleşimi. Bu incir 19. yüzyılda Ege'den Kaliforniya'ya götürülmüş. İncirin döllenmesi için sadece Ege bölgesinde var olan özel bir incir böceği gerekirmiş.

Belki eğitimciler ve psikologlar karşı çıkacak ama kendi kızımdan ve arkadaşlarından gördüğüm kadarıyla, İngilizce çizgi film izleyen, oyun oynayan çocukların İngilizcesi gerçekten iyi oluyor. Tablet meselesine kesinlikle karşı çıkmak yerine özellikle dil öğrenmede "oyunlaştırma" yoluna açık olmak gerek.

We launched a new podcast yesterday - A Question of Science - commissioned by and recorded at The Francis Crick Institute in London. Episodes include cancer research, the nature of consciousness, dementia, longevity, AI and space exploration - discussed by a panel of experts, driven by audience questions, moderated by me. I found it all mind blowing :-) https://t.co/Px5Wc9qRWN

Philip K. Dick’in sıradışı zihninden çıkan bu roman, tarihsel olasılıkları, ideolojik kâbusları ve insan olmanın doğasını altüst eden bir başyapıt.

A herring is a fish.

When a herring is preserved by salting and smoking, it turns red and smells.

It's so pungent that it's a great diversion to distract hunting dogs from their trail.

Now, a ‘red herring’ refers to anything that diverts attention from the issue at hand.

We have no good words to describe the maths of quantum physics. Because we need to talk about it somehow, we have come up with phrases like "in two places at once" or "takes all paths at the same time," or "action at a distance."

These are all over the popular science literature because it's the best we can do without maths. And I think that they fulfil a purpose in making an abstract topic a little more comprehensible. But they shouldn't be mistaken for a description of reality.

I think that this is to be expected, that as we discover theories about nature which are further removed from our everyday experience, that words literally fail us and maths is what remains.

This is why I don't understand^ when people say that we don't understand what a particle is or what gravity is because we "only" have a mathematical description. What do they expect? I think having a mathematical description is what it means to understand something.

The most viewed video I've ever made is a short about two colliding blocks computing π. I just made a new edition of the explanation for why π shows up there, setting things up for a (coming soon) follow-on connecting it to quantum computing.

Time loops have long been the stuff of science fiction. Now, using the rules of quantum mechanics, we have a way to effectively transport a particle back in time – here’s how https://t.co/1EcawDOMVL
