Un grupo del INRS de Montreal, Canadá, que estudia los campos de fotónica, óptica e ingeniería de microondas, ha publicado en la revista Optica sus últimos resultados sobre la capa de invisibilidad. El equipo ha conseguido, por primera vez, volver completamente invisible un objeto al ser iluminado con luz de espectro completo. Esta técnica tendrá aplicaciones inmediatas en la transmisión de señales en las telecomunicaciones.

Good morning, friends. It’s a new day and a new chance for goodness. 🌞
"Terraforming"? No, no, my dear, you've got us all wrong. We perform feats of "Terrorforming": alterations on a planetary scale to create haunted house themed planets and planetoids.
it’s okay to fail at things
it’s okay to not be good at things
it’s okay to not be good and never get better
it’s okay to continue to do things you’re not good at just because you want to

I hear there's a bit of a heatwave in the UK right now. As someone from the UK who's been living in South Africa for almost a decade, some things I do to deal with the heat:
* Feet in a bowl of cold water
* Ice pack wrapped in a damp tea towel (especially good under your feet in bed at night)
* Damp tea towel around neck
* Spray bottle to spritz self with water
Keep your 'hot' zones cool; armpits, under boobs, crotch, back of knees. Having cool feet and neck helps immensely too.

You can view the hard work of the volunteers at the IA collection, including dozens of people who heard about it specifically from mastodon. Thanks to @eq for providing the initial mastodon call for action!
I love this project: a riverbed in Amsterdam was drained and the ~700,000 found objects dating from the 1300s to present were photographed and presented online:
