Buterin argues for blockchain as defense against ‘efficiency’ of Authoritarian regimes

『V』𝚃『B』Casts┋
The most recent episode of the Bankless podcast discussed the potential advantages of authoritarian regimes in the 21st century. The argument stems from the idea that the Chinese and Russian governments allocate significant resources to promote their narratives while the US government takes a more hands-off approach. In the episode, hosts Ryan Sean Adams and […]

'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 — 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...
