The 'show why science is awesome' thread:

This is more engineering than science, but it’s certainly awesome!

The next steps are detecting nanoplastics and (hopefully) collecting or destroying them. WHY IS THIS 12 YEAR OLD UNABLE TO DO THIS?!

Terrible education system!

Building an “unhackable” quantum network:

Where does your recycled plastic go? Perhaps into future highways.

Love the idea of better road material and using up old plastic just makes it that much better.

I’ve been following that as well. I just hope we don’t find lots of PET or other chemicals leech out and contaminate the roadside and water table.

There’s good reason we should stop using plastics, period. (Recycled or not.)


Using light to hold quantum particles in place and conduct experiments in quantum ground states. That just sounds like the future.

whoa. That’s amazing.

I did not know that plants farted.

It’s kinda hard to believe that this hasn’t already happened.

Another, what, 20 turns or so to unlock Fusion Power? Assuming we don’t blow up something in the process, of course.

Is that a question, Walter?

How wombats shit cubes

Interesting and all but can you use it for chicken wings.

It’s not exactly impulse drive, but feels like progress!
