/ Thucydides /
"Thucydides was an Athenian historian and general. His History of the Peloponnesian War recounts the fifth-century BC war between Sparta and Athens until the year 411 BC. Thucydides has been dubbed the father of "scientific history" by those who accept his claims to have applied strict standards of impartiality and evidence-gathering and analysis of cause and effect, without reference to intervention by the deities, as outlined in his introduction to his work. He also has been called the father of the school of political realism, which views the political behavior of individuals and the subsequent outcomes of relations between states as ultimately mediated by, and constructed upon, fear and self-interest. His text is still studied at universities and military colleges worldwide."

This is an insulin pill, and it could end the need for painful injections.
Researchers at the University of British Columbia designed them to be dissolved between the gum and the cheek, rather than swallowed.

In rat tests, they found that nearly 100% of their dissolvable insulin reached the rodents’ livers and almost none was found in their stomachs. This insulin was also faster-acting than other in-development tablets, which tend to release insulin slowly over several hours.

Ignition—when fusion produces more energy than it consumes—is a "significant step closer to the possibility of zero-carbon abundant fusion energy."

"On November 16th, 1974, a coded radio message was broadcast from the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. The message contained information on mathematics, humanity, the Solar System, DNA, and the Observatory itself. The destination for this message was Messier 13 (NGC 6205 or “The Great Hercules Cluster”), a globular star cluster located about 25,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Hercules.

This historic signal was the Arecibo Message, humanity’s first attempt at Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence (METI). Almost fifty years later, the Message remains a focal point in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), the ethics of messaging, and why we haven’t heard from any extraterrestrial civilization (the Fermi Paradox). What’s more, a growing movement today would like to see more METI efforts mounted in the future.

Part of what makes the Arecibo Message such a significant event is that it was not only the first METI effort ever but the only one ever made. And like all major historic events, the Arecibo Message has a significant background that must be considered. This includes the earliest radio detection efforts, the emergence of SETI as a scientific discipline, and the researchers and scientists who played a vital role. "
