T1200-grade fibre has a tensile strength 💪 10 times greater than ordinary steel, yet it is less than one-tenth of a human hair in diameter. Using 120,000 carbon-fibre filaments twisted together, the carbon-fibre rope has a diameter of under 2mm when taut. It is strong enough to tow a coach 🚍 loaded with 54 adults https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3346398/china-beats-us-japan-carbon-fibre-arms-race-create-worlds-first-t1200-factory

A newly identified magnetic phase of matter found in the material cerium magnesium hexalluminate (CeMgAl11O19) that superficially mimics the properties of a #quantum spin liquid. While it appears disordered even at near-absolute zero, this lack of ordering stems from classical magnetic competition rather than quantum mechanical fluctuations.

Or should I say, soft squeaky science

"The surprising science of squeaky sneakers

...

They found that driving the squeaks were pulses more commonly associated with the dynamics of earthquakes, and they observed tiny bolts of lightning initiating those pulses"

What?!
