“Fiber optic cables used to be simple: just long, thin glass strands for light to travel down. But now chemists have discovered a method to grow thin wires of metal inside them. This could revolutionize optical electronics by making all-in-one devices within a single optical fiber.” Neat hey?!

Falling or flying?
In memory of the 3rd anniversary of the start of the Iraq War II the pic of ‘The Falling Man’ from 9/11.
“He is, fifteen seconds past 9:41 a.m. EST, the moment the picture is taken, in the clutches of pure physics, accelerating at a rate of thirty-two feet per second squared. He will soon be traveling at upwards of 150 miles per hour, and he is upside down.”
For me this counter-intuively is an image of freedom, not death.
