Oh yes, I remember that Bond film where the villain decarbonized the auto industry, brought fast internet to everyone on the planet, and helped paralyzed people interact with the world again.
Elon Musk's children don't go to normal school. And the reason why will change how you think about education.
He pulled his kids out of one of the most prestigious schools in Los Angeles. Parents were furious. Media called him arrogant. The school had a waitlist of thousands.
His response: "They're teaching kids to solve problems that already have answers. I need them to solve problems nobody's thought of yet."
So he built a school. Inside SpaceX. Called it Ad Astra. No grades. No tests. No subjects in the traditional sense.
A nine year old could take apart a rocket engine and present their findings to actual SpaceX engineers. Students didn't study history. They debated whether they'd make different decisions than historical leaders using the same information available at the time.
The school had no grade levels. A seven year old could work alongside a thirteen year old if they were interested in the same problem.
When asked why he structured it this way, Elon said something that stuck with me:
"I don't care if they know the answer. I care if they know which questions are worth asking."
Most people spend their entire education learning how to be right. Elon teaches his children how to be curious.
The system rewards answers. Life rewards questions.
🚨 Scientists just built a refrigerator with NO compressor and NO refrigerant gas.
Just electricity.
Using a multilayer ceramic capacitor, researchers created a solid-state cooling system that changes temperature when an electric field is applied.
The result:
• ~3–4.5 K cooling swings
• works across room temperature
• survives >10 MILLION cycles
• no moving parts
• projected 70–90% Carnot efficiency
This is electrocaloric cooling and it may become one of the biggest threats to conventional refrigeration in decades.
Older materials only worked ABOVE room temperature and needed a brutal 42-day annealing process.
This new PST–PMW material:
• cools down to ~230 K
• avoids the expensive anneal
• handles massive electric fields
• maintains strong entropy transitions
The physics is beautiful.
An electric field reorganizes the material’s internal dipole structure, reshaping entropy inside the lattice and producing a real temperature drop.
Not “cold generation.”
Controlled entropy engineering.
If this scales:
• silent refrigerators
• ultra-efficient chip cooling
• vibration-free scientific systems
• wearable thermal control
• next-gen EV cooling
We may be watching refrigeration evolve from mechanical compression…
to programmable matter.
