Elementary : From Hadron Bootstrapping to the Implicate Order
If there’s nothing fundamental about ‘elementary’ particles, if nature never bottoms out, then what remains to hold on to?

Quarks, Gluons & Jabberwocks : On Aptonyms and Nonce Words
It’s a very human tendency to conflate representations with reality. We are, after all, symbol-processing machines.

Most of All, You Need a Junkyard
It would be smart if we could incentivise up-and-coming players to compete on ideas and execution, rather than on who’s got the bigger machine.

Trying to Grasp Photonics
What other branch of science can claim to solve teleportation and levitation? Where else to turn for invisibility cloaks and computers which run on light alone?

BUST! the Productive Failure of LK-99
Ambient pressure room temperature superconductivity didn’t happen. But the LK-99 debacle was kind of inspiring in at least two ways.

BOOM!
Let’s sacrifice a goat and pray that room temperature superconductivity is actually finally *happening*!

This Could Change Everything : Superconductivity Heating Up
If we could figure out how to achieve superconductivity at higher temperatures, it would be such a huge deal that the impact is hard to even imagine. This might just be on the brink of happening now…

Missing Piece of the Fusion Puzzle : Novatron and the Return of Open Field Line Confinement
It’s not trivial to make fusion work, but a real breakthrough is now in the making, and it’s happening at KTH.

Ise Ise Baby : Coherent Ising Machines and the New Frontier of Non-Von Neumann Computing
The approach is one of the most promising candidates among “non-Von Neumann” computer architectures.
