Refrigerator magnets are surprisingly complex! Like why does "north attract south"? The physics of refrigerator magnets touches so many areas of physics: quantum mechanics, Maxwell's equations, statistical mechanics.

“Nonlinear sound-sheet microscopy provides a ~64× acceleration in imaging speed, ~35× increase in imaged volume, and ~4× increase in classical imaging resolution compared with the state of the art in biomolecular ultrasound.”

When Roger Penrose goes for a walk you might expect him to be thinking about cosmology etc. But he isn't. At least not always. Sometimes he is thinking about the walk itself. And the mathematics of it. Because Roger has his obsessions. Like lots of us.

We (mostly Adam Marblestone and Mary with the help of the amazing scientists in our network) made a map of “fundamental development” gaps in science and technology. Go explore gap-map.org.

Instead of teleoperation, we train solely on data from our Skill Capture Glove. The glove is co-designed with Memo's hand, meaning they share the exact same geometry and sensor suite. If you can do it wearing the glove, Memo can learn it.

Can ultrasound make you smell things that aren’t there? Turns out, yes! We reliably triggered distinct scents like a campfire burn or a garbage truck by targeting our brains with ultrasound. To our knowledge, this has never been done before, even in animals. This may be a

My favourite part of this post: “The first time Albert smelled the garbage, he jerked his eyes open thinking a garbage truck just drove in!”
