Digging a ditch

It must be winter. I zipped the lining back into my jacket today. There were some feeble snow flurries yesterday which dumped a whole cup of snow over St Louis. There was ice on my car roof this morning. Bring back the 40C/104F heat! Bring back the sunshine! I&

Light Emitting Butterfly

Butterfly wings work like LEDs. When scientists developed an efficient device for emitting light, they hadn't realised butterflies have been using the same method for 30 million years. Flourescent patches on the wings of African swallowtail butterflies work in a very similar way to high emission light emitting
