Turns out, the over 150 year old London Underground is an ideal testing spot for some new sensors. Researchers are trying to come up with more robust GPS that will work deep underwater.

A ‘quantum compass’ won’t rely on our current global navigation satellite systems. Via The Guardian:

The ideal place to test it is the London underground, Cotter and his team have discovered. “We are developing very precise new sensors using quantum mechanics, and these are showing great promise in the laboratory,” he told the Observer last week. “However, they are less accurate in real-life settings. That is why we are taking our equipment to the London underground. It’s the perfect place for smoothing out the rough edges and getting our equipment to work in real life.”

Until we get the quantum compass, GPS is still the way to go. Check out some of these projects from the Adafruit Learn System:

Today we celebrate Mary W. Jackson, NACA/NASA Mathematician and Engineer!

Here’s more from NASA:

Mary’s own path to an engineering career at the NASA Langley Research Center was far from direct. A native of Hampton, Virginia, she graduated from Hampton Institute in 1942 with a dual degree in Math and Physical Sciences, and accepted a job as a math teacher at a black school in Calvert County, Maryland. Hampton had become one of the nerve centers of the World War II home front effort, and after a year of teaching, Mary returned home, finding a position as the receptionist at the King Street USO Club, which served the city’s black population. It would take three more career changes—a post as a bookkeeper in Hampton Institute’s Health Department, a stint at home following the birth of her son, Levi, and a job as an Army secretary at Fort Monroe—before Mary landed at the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory’s segregated West Area Computing section in 1951, reporting to the group’s supervisor Dorothy Vaughan.

After two years in the computing pool, Mary received an offer to work for engineer Kazimierz Czarnecki in the 4-foot by 4-foot Supersonic Pressure Tunnel, a 60,000 horsepower wind tunnel capable of blasting models with winds approaching twice the speed of sound. Czarnecki offered Mary hands-on experience conducting experiments in the facility, and eventually suggested that she enter a training program that would allow her to earn a promotion from mathematician to engineer. Trainees had to take graduate level math and physics in after-work courses managed by the University of Virginia. Because the classes were held at then-segregated Hampton High School, however, Mary needed special permission from the City of Hampton to join her white peers in the classroom. Never one to flinch in the face of a challenge, Mary completed the courses, earned the promotion, and in 1958 became NASA’s first black female engineer. That same year, she co-authored her first report, Effects of Nose Angle and Mach Number on Transition on Cones at Supersonic Speeds.

The Lewis Latimer House Museum in Queens held a special Juneteenth reopening today. The museum has just undergone a large renovation. The new exhibits not only honor Latimer’s many contributions, they also bring his ideas into the present to highlight the lingering influences of his work. Lewis Latimer was a prominent inventor, draftsman, and engineer who lived and worked in the 1800s.

Via last Friday’s edition of New York Today, a New York Times newsletter:

Inside, the walls have been painted bright blue, and there are illuminated letters spelling out “Light Up the World.” They are LEDs, a technology that is superseding the incandescent designs that Latimer helped to perfect — and that Ran Yan, the museum’s director, said she was certain that Latimer would have had ideas to improve had LEDs existed in his day.

Learn more about the museum and how to plan your visit here:

The Lewis Latimer House is a historic house museum situated in Flushing, New York. The museum is dedicated to raising awareness about the fascinating life of Lewis Howard Latimer, an African American inventor, electrical pioneer, artist, and much more! At the museum, you can learn about Latimer’s life and engage in local community events. Furthermore, we offer virtual STEAM education opportunities for students of all ages! Learn more about Latimer by visiting us at LLHM and through our virtual programming for students and adults!

In Netflix’s Sweet Tooth society has been overtaken by ‘The Sick’. When characters first contract the illness the first symptom is a telltale pinkie wiggle.

Unless the actors all had immaculate pinkie dexterity, something had to create that effect. Was it CGI, a prop finger…? Nope! it was a “pinky-wiggling machine” powered by an old hard drive. Via Polygon:

Achieving that effect unaided was not always easy, but for anyone who found it difficult, Sweet Tooth’s effects team developed a bespoke pinkie-wiggling machine using the spin of a laptop’s hard drive. “That was the motor,” Mickle said, “and they connected that, basically taped it to a wire that went up someone’s arm and they just animated the hard drive and it would actually [shake their finger].”

Adafruit CH9328 UART to HID Keyboard Breakout: We love using chips with ‘native USB’ peripherals – that’s the magic silicon that lets a microcontroller act like an HID keyboard or mouse or disk drive or MIDI synth. It’s a standard addition on SAMD21, RP2040, and even the latest ESP32-S2 and ESP32-S3 boards. But what about when you have a classic ATmega328 Uno? or an original ESP32 or ESP8266? Maybe even a single-board computer like a Raspberry Pi? We would say “sorry…that’s not possible” UNTIL NOW!

The CH9328 is a funky chip that is basically a programmed microcontroller that enumerates as an every-day HID keyboard and can convert ASCII or 8-byte raw reports, read over a standard serial port UART, into keypresses. So, you can emulate a keyboard even if your chip doesn’t have native USB! You do need a hardware or software serial port: some way to generate 9600 baud 3V-logic signal that the CH9328 can read.

Super fun list about about fictional bookstores and libraries. Earlier this year my kids (finally) moved out of the destructive phase and we now can rent library books on the regular. I had forgotten the magic of these spaces and it’s been such a joy to rediscover them through a different lens. Each library has its own distinct character and feeling, enough so that my almost four-year-olds are discerning enough to request to visit different branches depending on the day. It doesn’t take much to transform a regular library into a fantastical one, which is why the setting of a library is so ripe for sci-fi and fantasy stories. Still, of course, some stories do it better than others! I was happy to see the library (of the Neitherlands) from Lev Grossman’s The Magicians included here. Though, as the author of the post Cole Rush notes, it’s not exactly the most peaceful or charming place.

Readers can never truly get enough of books, and the proof is in the pages: Even when we’re reading to escape to another world, we love when we encounter the familiar sights, sounds, and smells of places packed with shelves of old and new books. Bookshops and libraries tend to make appearances in many of my favorite sci-fi and fantasy tales, and they’re always a welcome addition to any fictional world. I never pass up a chance to explore a bookshop, even when I’m right in the middle of a story!
