These images are generated from processing many out of focus images while scanning across the area. They use the differences between the out of focus images to compute what must have caused those differences.

So this technique is pretty far from being able to capture real time events as it requires capturing hundreds of images to produce a single computed image. The paper talks about how thermal motion of the nuclei is what now dominates the limits of resolution for this method.

There are other ultrafast imaging techniques that can capture essentially real-time chemical reactions, but I believe those don't come close to this spatial resolution.

Maybe they finally learned from the fiasco of the rural broadband subsidies.

That would be great if we could get most governments to pass the same rule. If adversarial governments aren't restricted by the same rules then it tips the power balance in a way that favors foreign warhawks.

Is he trying to reframe the concept of a free trial as if it's some altruistic thing?

If an average joe with an hour of practice could match or outpace Michael Phelps, I would consider that superhuman speed.

Why do they even bother charging the patient at all if the vast majority of funding is coming from the national system?

Even just getting above the boiling temp of liquid nitrogen is a really big deal. Liquid helium is something we will eventually run out of and is largely dependent on fossil fuel extraction to be collected. Helium can't be recaptured after it escapes an open loop cooling system.

LN2 is so much cheaper to run and it's sustainable. We'll never run out of Nitrogen so long as there's power to cool it. LN2 is cheaper than craft beer.

With no side windows and without enough room for an actual yard or garden, these would have been better as condos or even townhomes with a common garden/recreation area. The only advantage this would have over townhomes would be noise isolation, but that can be achieved with decent building techniques.

I usually look up the number for something like an ftc or fbi tipline if a website absolutely forces putting in personal info.

Or a chicken drumstick for somewhat similar bone strength.
