Margaret Hamilton popularized the term ‘software engineering’ while leading nearly 100 developers on Apollo, partly to win respect for a discipline so new it was not yet a recognised field when her team’s code helped land Apollo 11 on the Moon September 21, 2026
Margaret Hamilton was 32 and running a team of nearly 100 developers at MIT when she coined the phrase 'software engineering' — half as a joke, half as a demand for respect. Six weeks later, her team's code became the first ever to run on the Moon. The post Margaret Hamilton popularized the term ‘software […]
How did a Sahel nation facing advancing desert regrow roughly 5 million hectares of trees on farmland by changing one rule about who owns the seedlings sprouting in a farmer’s field? September 21, 2026
Over two decades, roughly 5 million hectares of Niger's degraded farmland regrew an estimated 200 million trees — not through planting, but through a change in who legally owns a sprout in a farmer's field. The post How did a Sahel nation facing advancing desert regrow roughly 5 million hectares of trees on farmland by […]
Every normally sighted human eye has a blind spot about as wide as three small coins held side by side at arm’s length, created where the optic nerve exits the retina and leaves no photoreceptors, and the brain quietly paints over the gap using whatever pattern surrounds it September 21, 2026
Every human eye has a permanent blind spot where the optic nerve exits the retina, roughly the size of a small coin at arm's length. The brain hides it by painting in whatever pattern surrounds the gap — a trick so seamless it is now being used to test theories of consciousness. The post Every […]

Bill calling for nationwide plug-in solar adoption introduced in House October 23, 2026
A national bill proposing the legalization of plug-in solar was proposed in the House of Representatives on Oct. 19. Since late 2025, legislative bodies have been passing bills permitting the consumer-level use of these portable solar generation devices within particular states. HR 10851, also known as the “Socket Full of Sunshine Act,” is the first… […]
Minneapolis unveils 704-kW community solar garden for LMI subscribers October 23, 2026
A new community solar garden in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is now producing power for low-moderate income (LMI) residents. The 704-kW system sits on the city-owned Eastside Maintenance Facility and serves 100 LMI subscribers, with 25 spots remaining. The Minnesota Renewable Energy Society (MRES) and Greenway Solar developed the project that was funded in part by a $150,000… […]
Solar panel efficiency explained: What it means, what’s good, and how it affects your install October 22, 2026
Solar panel efficiency measures the percentage of sunlight a panel converts into electricity. Most residential panels in 2026 operate between 20–23% efficiency under standard test conditions (STC). The higher the efficiency, the more power per square foot — which matters most when roof space is limited. When you think of solar panel efficiency, you’re most… […]
