WHAT DRIVES YOU?

Cleannovate

I always marvel at ants and bees. These hardworkers put their best foot forward any day. They ‘slave’ their hearts out day in day out. But are they aware that they are planning for a better tomorrow? Probably yes. What’s to be enjoyed later requires sweat to build today. Sure, their commitment to work looks laborious and sounds like druggery (repetitive and unexciting).

How nuclear information has been hidden – and brought to light

Physics World

Few events in history – and even fewer in the history of physics – have generated as much counterfactual speculation as the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Did the bombings save lives by forestalling a US invasion of Japan? Could their immense toll of human suffering – an estimated 210,000 deaths, plus hundreds of thousands of survivors injured and sickened by radiation – have been avoided by warning Japan’s generals of the bomb’s power and demanding they surrender?

Could microscale concave interfaces help self-driving cars read road signs?

Physics World

A structural colour technology that produces concentric rainbows could help autonomous vehicles read road signs, scientists in the US and China claim. As well as exploring the physics of these novel reflective surfaces, the researchers show that they can produce two different image signals at the same time. Autopilot systems that read both signals would be less likely to misinterpret altered road signs, they suggest.
