Reader, it’s the 13th edition of the White Pill, where the Pirate Wires crew rounds up all the most evocative, excellent news in space, science, medicine, energy, and engineering from this past week. Welcome back.
What makes this issue of the White Pill the best one yet? This week we’ve potentially got a new planet in our solar system (in the Oort Cloud region, but still) that got here from another solar system, a new brain cancer sensing nanowire, a mindbending experiment demonstrating the incredible audacity of evolution, new research on how to pack the most amount of stuff into a container, a video of a newly developed material that can, inexplicably, count to 10, and pics of a giant orb that’s recently appeared in Vegas in the Fun Stuff section, among other things. Also, another White Pill Investment Index, where we track all the most interesting companies that raised venture capital this week.
What’s not to love? Enjoy it.
