After atoms, it's now the turn of molecules to form a Bose–Einstein condensate.

"Physicists have succeeded in cooling down molecules so much that hundreds of them lock in step, making a single gigantic quantum state. These systems could be used to explore exotic physics, such as by creating solid materials that can flow without resistance, or could form the basis of a new kind of quantum computer."

"[A] stunning blue ant has been discovered from Yingku village in Arunachal Pradesh, northeastern India. This new species belongs to the rare genus Paraparatrechina and has been named Paraparatrechina neela. The word “neela” signifies the color blue in most Indian languages – a fitting tribute to the ant’s unique coloration."

"Thomas S. Mullaney’s new book, The Chinese Computer: A Global History of the Information Age, published by the MIT Press, unearths the forgotten history of Chinese input in the 20th century. In this article, which was adapted from an excerpt of the book, he details the varied Chinese input systems of the 1960s and ’70s that renounced QWERTY altogether."

@liaizon My local library's Overdrive platform has the book. Already on loan, so I'll have to wait for it to be available before I can borrow it.

Daylight Computer is a 60fps paper white thing display (but not e-ink?) for $729. Did anybody here give it a try or see a review? I like the sound of Public Benefit Company even though I'm not sure what the actual benefits for the public are.

@alex This Hacker News thread, with comments by the founder, may give some answers.

"We developed our own custom epaper display tech we call LivePaper. We focused on solving the tradeoffs RLCDs traditionally have - around reflectance %, metallic-look / not Paperlike enough, viewing angle, white state, rainbow mura, parallax, resolution, size, lack of quality backlight, etc."

Hello @wikipedia, you’re putting indecent photos on my Home Screen.

(Jokes aside, I do enjoy having Wikipedia widgets on my Home Screen)

@rakyat Technically, flowers are the genitals of plants, so ... 🙂

Sunday morning walk! We spotted monitor lizards, macaques, kingfishers, herons and a dead snake. We are wondering what type of plants these are.

@hishgraphics The last one is probably Simpoh Air (Dillenia suffruticosa) a common plant in swampy and wet ground.
