Greek is still spoken in Italy!

The Griko, Grecanico, or Greco-Italiot dialects are directly derived from Koinè Greek and they’re spoken daily in 25 municipalities between the regions of Apulia, Calabria, and Sicily, corresponding to the ancient colony of Magna Graecia.

Too good to be true? Maybe — but I’ll leave that discussion for another post! 📚

I just came across this fascinating article published in @Nature (it’s open access so definitely check it out!) that dives into a breakthrough in one of the most carbon-intensive industries: metal alloys production. ⚙️

Once again, hydrogen proves to be a game-changer, highlighting its critical role in achieving real sustainability goals and decarbonizing various industrial sectors — from energy storage and generation to transportation and steel production. 🌍💡

I've kept a pretty low (online) profile of what I'm building, but word's getting out.

My company Astro Mechanica has invented a new kind of jet engine. Unlike any existing engine, it's efficient at every speed. Because it's efficient at every speed, we can use it in a new way: as the first stage of an orbital launch vehicle.

The resulting platform will get payloads to orbit dramatically cheaper than all-rocket systems - among many possible applications.

The key insight is to use electric motors to drive a compressor. That way we can make it spin at any speed, allowing it to "adapt" to it's airspeed and combustion cycle.

One of the coolest parts: the video below is of a demonstrator my team and I built last year. We already have a new engine with 10x the thrust that will be complete next month.

@ianbrooke How about a master graduate position?

demonised “plastic” can represent a sustainable solution if used wisely.

@engineers_feed An engineering degree is a good base or end game.

End Game: If your an introvert who wants to sit behind a desk and solve problems all day.

Base: If your an extrovert who wants to manage teams of engineers but still needs to understand what their team is doing and why.
