If you’ve ever taken a close look at a vacuum tube, you’ll have seen the seals around the pins that keep everything air-tight while providing the the device’s electrical contacts. As [maurycyz] finds out, it’s not an easy process to get right.
The problem is one of both chemistry and thermal expansion, as while a good seal can be made between glass and red copper oxide, it remains very difficult indeed to stop the glass cracking on cooldown due to differing thermal expansion properties. We’re led through a variety of experiments including surface treatments and flattening the metal to a sheet, with varying pros and cons. The most successful seal on the page comes from very thin tungsten wire, though...

Music hums quietly through libraries, dorm rooms, and late-night study sessions. For many students, it feels like a natural partner to reading. A new study from Edith Cowan University offers a closer look at this habit and challenges a long-standing belief. Music does not affect everyone the same way, and its impact depends on the person listening. The research, led by Dr Lindsey Cooke, surveyed more than 220 university students. It explored how often they listen to music while reading and why they choose to do so. The results show a nearly even divide. About 54 percent reported regularly listening to music while studying, while 46 percent preferred silence. This split suggests there is no single best way to...

Let’s stop for a moment and pause to consider the smart bulb. Imagine going back 20 years and telling yourself that people will be putting computers capable of acting as web servers into light bulbs just so they can control them from their telephone instead of hitting the switch.

Fire leaves behind a simple story when it is fresh. Ash settles, bones blacken, wood chars. Over a million years later, that story becomes much harder to read. In South Africa’s Wonderwerk Cave, researchers now say some of the oldest traces of fire linked to early humans reach back between 1.07 and 1.79 million years. That pushes the timeline deeper into the Early Acheulean and strengthens the case that hominins were not merely encountering wildfire on the landscape. They were likely bringing it into the cave and sustaining it there. The new evidence comes from Wonderwerk Cave in the Kalahari Desert, a site that has already played a central role in debates over early fire use. Earlier work there had...

The basics of producing a stereophotograph of real life places were well-established by the time the View-Master arrived, but producing images of imaginary scenes was a bit more involved. [View Master Travels and Peter Dibble] took a look at how the fairy tale and media tie-in reels may have been made.
Staring with simple dioramas, View-Master eventually developed an entire team to work on fairy tales. One of the most influential members was sculptor [Florence Thomas]. She was instrumental in updating many of the original fairy tale reels from small scale miniatures to 1/6 scale dioramas for the scenes. Unfortunately, the department was eventually cut and all the original miniatures thrown away.

“Rice is a staple agricultural resource for over half the global population. Using the data-modeling methods, which account for major biophysical processes and all major environmental and management factors, our study shows that rice production for 2006–2015 has increased by almost 2-fold since the 1960s, despite growing concerns about climate change and other extreme climate event risks. Management practices through the expansion of irrigated and non-irrigated cropping harvested areas and the increased rates of N fertilizer and manure application have helped to maintain higher production rates since the 1960s… Accounting for the effects of management factors, the total production increased by 76%.

Slow-scan CRTs were never exactly common compared to their faster cousins, but given the popularity of Slow Scan TV (SSTV) amongst hams and NASA broadcasts, many of you are probably familiar with them. The slow scan rate of SSTV meant it required much less bandwidth, but in the early days you needed a CRT with a long-persistence phosphor to hold onto the image. [AJRussell]’s Glow Engine works much the same, with one key difference — instead of cathode rays, he’s using a frikkin laser beam.
In this case, the phosphor is Strontium Aluminate, the same stuff that gives most glow-in-the-dark toys and filament its kick. Energized by a 405 nm laser of questionable wattage, the phosphor will glow for several...

Its Football Fever Study, launched for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, is recruiting supporters of all national teams to track how match events affect heart rate and stress levels. The project uses smartwatch data to follow what happens during games, then compares those bodily changes with what is unfolding on the pitch. The appeal is broad by design. Anyone using a device from one of 13 supported brands can take part. The study records heart rate, stress, movement and sleep automatically through the watch, and the researchers say the data are collected...

Verizon is launching a new Simplicity plan that starts at $30 / month for new customers, or $45 / month for existing ones. In its announcement, Verizon says the plan drops activation and upgrade fees, while offering one flat price for each line.
The $30 price for new customers is an "initial promotional offer" that applies after enabling autopay and taking advantage of a discount for switching carriers, according to Verizon. But before customers can ditch Verizon's $40 fee to activate or upgrade a device, they'll need to opt in to the carrier's new loyalty program through the My Verizon app. The loyalty program comes with a new Verizon Doll …

A dark point inside a beam of light should not be much of a traveler. Yet in a new experiment, some of those points appeared to move faster than light itself, darting through a wave field before blinking out of existence. The feat did not involve particles, signals, or any loophole in Einstein’s theory. What the team tracked were optical phase singularities, tiny places where the amplitude of a light wave falls to zero. They are points of complete darkness inside a structured field of light, and because they carry neither mass nor information, their apparent motion can exceed light speed without violating relativity. That distinction is the heart of a study led by researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute...

As simple as the concept of adding two numbers appears at first glance, doing it in the 1970s in Intel’s 8087 FPU with its 69-bit adder was still a tall order. This is namely the core feature that many features like tangents, cosines and exponentiation rely on, so it had to be basically perfect. In a recent die-level analysis of the 8087 [Ken Shirrif] dives into the structure, layout and functioning of this ‘beating heart’ of this piece of semiconductor history.

Gold has long stood apart from other metals. It does not rust like iron or tarnish like silver. Its shine endures across centuries, even in open air. For years, scientists believed this stability came down to simple chemistry. Gold, they thought, just does not react strongly with oxygen. New research suggests a more complex story. A team at Tulane University has found that gold protects itself in a surprising way. Its atoms shift into patterns that block reactions before they begin. The findings reveal a hidden defense that helps explain gold’s lasting brilliance. The work also points toward new ways to improve gold-based catalysts, which play a role in manufacturing and energy systems. By understanding how...
