Good morning reader, we have a killer White Pill for you today. Another lead story this week: an interview with Augustus Doricko of geoengineering startup Rainmaker Technology Corporation. Then: glaciers on Mars and missing clouds on Neptune, among other items, in our section on space. After that, check out this week’s White Pill Investment Index, where we highlight companies doing cool sh*t that recently got funded. In Energy, Engineering, Computing, and Science, a super quiet flying car concept, hints of a fifth fundamental force, the first demonstration of quantum superchemistry, and a few more things. Some super promising developments in this issue’s medicine section, and to close we have the fun stuff, as always.
Oh, almost forgot — the White Pill has a X/Twitter account now, follow it for snackable science, energy, engineering, and space in your feed, and RT if you are so inclined.
Have a great weekend.
