Walraversijde in Ostend, Belgium

December 14, 2020

For several centuries, the village of Walraversjide (also called Raversyde) thrived through fishing and farming.

Since then, it has been meticulously studied and partially reconstructed, complete with medieval buildings and a history museum.

Monkey Beach in West Mersea, England

December 14, 2020

The locals, amused by the……

December 14, 2020

Some of the research described in this article has been published on a preprint server but has not yet been peer-reviewed by experts in the field.

An LED that can be integrated directly...

December 14, 2020

Light-emitting diodes — LEDs — can do way more than illuminate your living room. These light sources are useful microelectronics too. Smartphones, for example, can use an LED proximity sensor to determine if you’re holding the phone next to your face (in which case the screen turns off). The LED sends a pulse of light toward your face, and a timer in the phone measures how long it takes that light to reflect back to the phone, a proxy……

WASHINGTON — Moncef Slaoui, the chief scientist leading the White House’s Operation Warp Speed, said President Donald Trump’s public pressuring of the Food and Drug Administration commissioner last week to quickly approve the coronavirus vaccine was not helpful for building public confidence in the inoculation campaign.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Neither woman could bring themselves to watch the video of George Floyd’s final moments, his neck pinned under a Minneapolis police officer’s knee. But as their city grieved, Leesa Kelly and Kenda Zellner-Smith found much-needed comfort in the messages of anguish and hope that appeared on boarded-up windows as residents turned miles of plywood into canvases. Now, they’re working to save those murals before they vanish. “These walls speak,” said Zellner-Smith, who said she was too…
