    I Was Born in Luanda

    May 24, 2025 - By 

    Cláudio Silva reflects on moving from Angola to the United States as a child, founding Angola’s largest food and travel platform, and what the country’s current flourishing means not just for Angolans but for the world. I was born in Luanda, Angola. My father moved myself and my siblings to the Washington DC suburbs when I was five years old for political reasons, and I immediately understood that this place is not like the other place. There’s a huge difference in development, in wealth, in the way people live—I’ve never forgotten that feeling. There was also profound ignorance about where…

    We Need to Remember Problems We Solved

    May 24, 2025 - By 

    I need your help. I’m trying to find a phrase to describe an important phenomenon and maybe help people recognize it more easily. The phenomenon is this: When we fix a problem, we forget it. I don’t mean you and me in “we” — we, of course, remember. But pop culture forgets, and the mass media forgets, and young people never learn about the problem or how it was solved.  Maybe this will make more sense with examples. Have you ever seen a bald eagle? They almost went extinct! And now they’re everywhere, stealing fish from ospreys (which also almost…

    Grocery Shopping: Love & War

    May 24, 2025 - By 

    What kills me is how absolutely nothing happens in your life that cannot be seen in your chart. Here’s an example of this. Mars conjunct Mercury (a red motorcycle on a short trip)… in Libra (partnership). Then there is Libra balance involved as well as the attempts to control that are part and parcel of the Cardinal signs. The solider has Mercury in Aries, opposing so it’s all tied together. This is still 2003.  He’s restoring my memories. “Do you remember how we got our groceries, Els?” “No.” “Well we had to get ’em. We figured out how at that…

    ‘Hopelessly attached’: Scientists discover new 2D material that sticks the landing

    May 24, 2025 - By 

    More than ten years ago, researchers at Rice University led by materials scientist Boris Yakobson predicted that boron atoms would cling too tightly to copper to form borophene, a flexible, metallic two-dimensional material with potential across electronics, energy and catalysis. Now, new research shows that prediction holds up, but not in the way anyone expected. Unlike systems such as graphene on copper, where atoms may diffuse into the substrate without forming a distinct alloy, the boron atoms in this case formed a defined 2D copper boride — a new compoundwith a distinct atomic structure. The finding, published in Science Advances…
