The White House Is Going to Put Government Statistics on the Blockchain (Yeah, We Don’t Know Why Either)

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-11-01 19:20:38

Remember back in 2017 when Bitcoin’s price soared and companies started promising to add everything to the blockchain? It was an embarrassing era, since blockchain technology has very few practical purposes that can’t be solved by a regular, old-school database. But it sounds like the White House just got the memo and wants to usher in the world of 2017 again. President Donald Trump held a televised “cabinet meeting ” at the White House on Tuesday that clocked in at over 3 hours and 15 minutes.

‘Bubbles’ turn air into drinkable water

technologyreview.com Jennifer Chu 2025-11-01 23:00:00

COURTESY OF THE RESEARCHERS In the researchers’ prototype device, a half-square-meter panel of the hydrogel is enclosed in a glass chamber coated with a cooling polymer film. When the vapor captured by the textured material evaporates, the bubbles shrink down in an origami-like transformation. The vapor then condenses on the glass, where it can flow out through a tube. The system runs entirely on its own, unlike other designs that require batteries, solar panels, or electricity from the grid.
