This is why I sometimes want to live forever. I want to see how it all turns out.

GW170817: the X-ray emission did what?
"The optical signal or ‘'messenger’', for example, may carry slightly different information about the source than the radio waves do. So, if we manage to detect both, we end up with an additional clue about whatever produced them! Here, we will discuss the X-ray observations of GW170817/GRB 170817A."

And that's the way you do it.

Speeding drug discovery with AI and big data
It takes more than $2.5 billion and 15 years on average to develop a new drug. But some people say there's a way to cut costs and speed that up: Use artificial intelligence, cloud computing, IoT, high-powered computing, and big data. #cososcience

@AirRation Former members of the IMAGE team are pretty excited about it :)
Novel Lithography Technique Combines Speed With Accuracy
"What happens when you combine DNA origami techniques with conventional lithography? You get a novel lithography technique dubbed DNA-assisted lithography (DALI) that has the resolution of electron beam lithography with the speed of conventional lithography."

The problem with that is *low* levels of alcohol.
In case there were any doubt 😉
In wine, there's health: Low levels of alcohol good for the brain
