Number Representations in Computer Hardware, Explained
Welcome to a fundamental area of computer design: how numbers are represented in hardware! This can ultimately mean the difference between a blazing fast machine and a costly $475 million bug – Pentium 4, anyone?

World's "largest" air vacuum fires up in Iceland, will suck CO2 from air and bury it
A critical response to ever-increasing CO2 emissions
Why it matters: A new plant that sucks planet-warming carbon dioxide straight out of the air like a massive vacuum cleaner began operations this week in Hellisheiði, Iceland. And this thing is no joke – it's being billed as the largest direct air capture facility on the planet.

Here is what it would look like if you traveled into the event horizon of a black hole
Everything goes wonky when gravity is bending light around you
Editor's take: Black holes fascinate me. Nobody knows what goes on inside the cosmic maw. Math and physics break down as we get closer to the singularity, so we can only use our imagination to wonder what it's like on the inside, but that's okay. Theoretical cosmologist and physicist Professor Janna Levin once said, "Black holes are the ideal fantasy scape on which to play out thought experiments that target the core truths about the cosmos."
