A crystal was just discovered that acts like a metal and a glass at the same time.

Molybdenum oxychloride, announced June 1, 2026.

Metals conduct electricity freely. Electrons move through them like water through a pipe.
Glasses are insulators. Electrons are frozen in place.

These two states have been mutually exclusive for the entire history of materials science.

Until now.

MoOCl₂ has a split personality at the quantum level:
• Along one axis: metallic. Electrons flow freely.
• Along the perpendicular axis: insulating. Electrons don't move at all.

This is called extreme optical anisotropy.

Why it matters:
• Smart contact lenses that can display information without power-hungry screens
• Ultrathin AR glasses that process light differently in different directions
• Photonic circuits that route light the way copper routes electricity

We've had one fundamental state for each material for 200 years of engineering.
Now we have both in one crystal.

Materials science just got a new category.

@xataka No estoy seguro de cuando han tomado los datos pero seguro que no es cierto a fecha de hoy. Hay decenas de operatores en Suiza y 10Gbs/s cuestan 39CHF al mes. https://t.co/gcupo0V8Rd

Eric Schmidt says a global AI war could start within 5 years:

Not with missiles, but with data centers.

The former Google CEO warns that whoever reaches superintelligence first will control the world.

Here’s what is keeping him (and world leaders) up at night: 🧵

Wind & solar, combined with batteries, will solve sustainable energy for Earth.

In Solothurn, history winks at every corner! 🇨🇭

From the 16th to the 18th century, this Catholic city was home to the French king’s ambassador, earning it the nickname 'City of Ambassadors.' 👑

Reputed to be the most beautiful baroque city in Switzerland, Solothurn, located in the northwest of the country, unveils an exceptional heritage: eleven churches and chapels, eleven fountains, and eleven towers, a mysterious number that lives in its soul. 🏰

🌍 On this International #CleanEnergyDay, Switzerland highlights its commitment to sustainability! 🇨🇭
With 62% of our electricity from hydropower and continuous efforts to reduce energy use and expand renewables, the journey towards a more sustainable future continues. ⚡💧

So I haven't listened to this to check if I sounded really stupid (it did feel like that at one point!) but I did a podcast with Pushkin's What's Your Problem, entitled, "How The Sun Won: The Solar Era, Part 1".

On the road to electric mobility! 🚗⚡
By the end of 2024, nearly 50 rest areas will be equipped with fast-charging stations. The goal is to have all 100 rest areas powered up by 2030.
