Diffraction and Scattering Modeling for Laser Power Beaming in Lunar Environment
Reliable energy delivery is a critical requirement for long-term lunar missions, particularly in regions with limited solar access, such as polar craters and during extended lunar nights. Optical Power Beaming (OPB) using high-power lasers offers a promising alternative to conventional solar power, but the effects of suspended lunar dust on beam propagation remain poorly understood. This study introduces a detailed simulation model that incorporates both diffraction and height-dep…

Donkey Kong Bananza: breaking everything
When I first heard of Bananza, I was concerned about the way in which DK could smash pretty much everything, I was worried that it would mean you could just brute force your way through the levels, that there would be little innovation throughout the game, relying only on the destruction mechanic. I needn't have worried, of course - it's a Nintendo game, and in the hour I've played so far I've come across loads of game mechanics……
