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.
As a Muslim, there's something that genuinely bothers me.
Millions of Muslims live in Christian majority countries, build mosques, preach Islam publicly, distribute Qur'ans, open halal businesses, and demand religious freedom,and rightly so.
Some even call for aspects of Shariah to be accommodated in the societies they've moved to.
Yet in some Muslim majority countries, Christians cannot openly preach the Gospel, build churches freely, or practice their faith without restrictions.
Why?
If we demand religious freedom for ourselves, we should be willing to grant it to others.
Truth does not need censorship.
If Islam is the truth, it has nothing to fear from a church, a Bible, or a Christian preacher.
You can't demand tolerance and freedom for Muslims abroad while denying the same freedoms to others at home.
The double standard needs to be called out.
I don’t strongly believe developers will be completely replaced by AI agents.
What I fear more is that the process that produces sound engineers is being attacked.
Soon, hiring truly good developers may feel like looking for a needle in a haystack.
@TrendingEx Stupid child. Calling on social media people to come and help you. Bastard! Why is that phone still working? It's should be the first target.
@AsakyGRN Wait, Yorùbás dont collect this type of pride price. I think this is pure content. Chai, everything is now content in this generation.
Why is she even crying to the camera if not for views and clicks, and the hope of going viral.
@Mikeliberation Stupid story.
Quitting over a GROUP chat titled "Backup Plans", without checking the conversations of the group participants' chats. This story seems like a clickbait.
And some people without brain are say he did the right thing.
We moved to ChatGPT Business plan.
Moving my account from Plus to Business was a mistake. We got rate limited so quickly that our work has slowed down. @OpenAI seems to punish us for moving to Business from Plus.
We will be moving to Claude Code.
@MsPattiFantroy@Nwayitel0 Instead of enjoying a beautiful video like this, you are so retarded to the point that everything must be taken out of context.
I was in court this morning when a case was mentioned that stopped me mid-conversation with a colleague.
The defendant had reported himself.
Not through a lawyer. Not after a plea bargain negotiation. He just walked into the station three months ago, asked for the IPO, and confessed to obtaining money by false pretense from someone he had defrauded four years ago.
The victim hadn't reported it. As far as the police were concerned, no crime had been committed. There was no file, no complainant, nothing.
He created his own case.
When the prosecutor was narrating the background to the judge, even she seemed slightly thrown off. She kept her composure but you could tell this was not something she had encountered before.
The judge asked him directly, "You came to the police yourself?"
He said yes.
"Why?"
He said he had turned a new leaf and could not continue knowing what he had done to that man was sitting unresolved. He said he had already gone back to the victim privately and made arrangements to refund everything, but he felt that wasn't enough. That the law also deserved to know.
The victim himself was in court. He had written a letter asking for leniency. He said the money had been refunded in full and he had forgiven him completely.
The judge adjourned for ruling.
