Lost 19th century film by Méliès discovered at the Library | Timeless
Library conservators recently made a startling discovery in a batch of decaying film reels -- a long-lost 1897 film by early cinema icon George Méliès. The French magician-turned-filmmaker's

On a whim, I went to the Royal Festival Hall to see Bruce Liu playing Ravel. Pretty cool. He makes the fiendishly difficult appear entirely effortless.
I think last time I went there, I was a callow youth. It's bigger than I remember!

A broad stage is flanked by audience boxes sticking out of the walls like the Star Wars senate. On the stage some musicians are preparing. Not the whole orchestra, just the woodwind and a few cellos. A huge organ fills the far wall behind the stage.

Perovskite solar cells just cleared a major hurdle toward commercialization.
Researchers developed a new two-dimensional interlayer that kept modules running at 95% efficiency after 5,000 hours of brutal light, heat, and UV exposure. The breakthrough uses neutral triazine molecules and co-crystal engineering that slots right into existing manufacturing lines.

Researchers achieve record perovskite solar module stability under light, heat, and UV stress
An international research team has developed a new two-dimensional perovskite interlayer based on a co-crystal engineering strategy for more robust perovskite films. It demonstrated improved performance in small area perovskite solar cells and, in a 48 cm2 module, contributed to retain 95% of initial efficiency after 5,000 h.
