Tree-covered tower's lush exterior equivalent to 2.5 acres of forest

Few designers have done as much to popularize the modern trend of covering buildings in greenery as Stefano Boeri. Since his Bosco Verticale met with critical acclaim, the Italian architect's firm has been steadily producing lush tree-covered buildings around the world. Its latest will be adorned in thousands of plants and hundreds of trees, which the firm says will be equal to around 1 hectare (approximately 2.5 acres) of forest.

'Squeezed' light might produce breakthroughs in nano-sized electronics

It's one thing to produce nanoscale devices, but it's another to study and improve on them โ€” they're so small they can't reflect enough light to get a good look. A breakthrough might make that possible, however. UC Riverside researchers have built technology that squeezes tungsten lamp light into a 6-nanometer spot at the end of a silver nanowire. That lets scientists produce color imaging at an "unprecedented" level, rather than having to settle for molecular vibrations. The developers modified an existing "superfocusing" tool (already used to measure vibrations) to detect signals across the entire visible spectrum. Light travels in a flashlight-like conical path. When the nanowire's tip passes over an object, the system records that item's influence on the beam shape and color (including through a spectrometer). With two pieces of specrtra for every 6nm pixel, the team can create color photos of carbon nanotubes that would otherwise appear...

A recent development in the cryptocurrency world has sparked considerable interest: billionaire entrepreneur Peter Thiel has hinted that he may have met the individual or group behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin. Thiel asserts that this encounter took place at a financial cryptography conference in Anguilla 23 years ago. This revelation comes as Thiel's associate, Balaji Srinivasan, speculates that Bitcoin could achieve a value of $1 million....
