You know the old “If the material used for the black box is so sturdy, why don’t they make the whole plane out of it?”

It’s so ridiculous.

Why would they build a plane out of this expensive material when they can make it out of the plastic that holds six packs of Coke bottles together, and get the same result at a fraction of the cost?

Egg drop competitions are a staple of physics classes, designed to teach students about structural mechanics and impact physics. The goal is to build a structure to protect your egg, after which you drop it from a height without it breaking. The failure rate is extremely high — so MIT engineering professor Tal Cohen decided to look into it. Her conclusion: Dropping the eggs on their sides is a better tactic than dropping them vertically. Here's more from @arstechnica.

TBH, #PumplessLiquidCooling isn't new.

• I know folks who worked 35+ years in #MaterialScience and they could design that.

#Noctua's innovation is turn something from a #lab product that costs thousands of Euros in personnel hours design & setup into a consumer-ready product that doesn't require a #Hazmat-Suit - trained #chemist nor industrial- or A/C plumber to get started and that is "reasonable" to sell...

• And for that I'll give them credit once it hits [virtual] store shelves...

#Funfact: I do know someone who did some of the fundamental research on those flaments...

• Cuz #MaterialScience sometimes starts with just some chemists doing the professional version of "#FuckAroundAndFindOut!" in a lab and see what works and what doesn't.

And sometimes you get that nano-encapsulated stuff and the processes on how to homogenously mix those capsules in other materials.

• Other times you can get some narly lab accidents.

Wow...just wow. I have not been so amazed in quite a while. Soo many deposition, epitaxy, selective etch processes, inside these buried nano-cavities.
