In an exciting achievement, students from ETH Zurich and Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts have broken the world record for acceleration with their hand-built electric racing car, mythen. The vehicle accelerated from zero to 100 km/h in just 0.956 seconds over a distance of 12.3 meters. The team, known as the Academic Motorsports […]

We recently launched the Datasette Cloud blog, which is implemented as a Django app using Django and PostgreSQL. Each customer has a dedicated container running Datasette. The blog includes features like titles, summaries, bodies, publication dates, author information, and tags. Posts can be live or drafts, and the blog has an Atom feed. The Django […]
In this editorial, the authors discuss the potential link between blood transfusions and the misfolding of amyloid β peptide, a primary component of senile plaques in Alzheimer’s disease and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). They highlight experimental studies dating back to 1993 that showed the development of cerebral amyloid deposition in animals after injection of exogenous […]
Quiet is an alternative team chat app that distinguishes itself from Slack, Discord, and Element by not requiring a central server or self-hosting. Privacy and security are not guaranteed, and Quiet lacks some basic features. However, it functions surprisingly well as a replacement for Slack. Quiet appeals to those who value software freedom, decentralization, and […]
In 1997, Alexei Kitaev proposed that non-abelian anyons could be used as qubits in quantum computers. These quasiparticles have the potential to perform calculations beyond the limits of traditional computers. Unlike traditional qubits, non-abelian anyons have the unique ability to change their state through the process of “braiding” and can retain their state without being […]
In collaboration with Levi, the author discusses the concept of the law of large numbers. They explain that the term “large” is relative and depends on the context. To illustrate the law, they conduct experiments using dice rolls and lottery tickets. They show that as the number of experiments increases, the sample averages converge to […]
In his quest to develop his own cryocooler for liquid nitrogen production, the author has come across various interesting topics. One such exploration is the use of dry ice for pre-cooling, which led him to ponder the process of making dry ice from scratch. While obtaining the CO2 required for dry ice is relatively simple […]
Improvements Editor: Empty lines before the frontmatter block are no longer allowed. Inline formatting will ignore whitespace at the start and end of the selection. Date & time fields now include seconds. Added command to fold properties. When toggling “Properties view” core plugin, the “All properties” view will immediately open. Added tooltip for long property […]
Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation (SSS) has developed an energy harvesting module that uses electromagnetic wave noise energy. The module, based on technology developed during tuner development, can generate power from electromagnetic wave noise with a high level of efficiency. This technology can utilize the constant electromagnetic wave noise generated by various electronic devices to power […]
In this web content, Isaac Asimov receives a letter from a reader who is majoring in English Literature but feels the need to teach Asimov about science. Asimov reflects on his previous statement that we finally understand the basic rules of the Universe and acknowledges that people in every century have thought the same thing […]
