Ben Krasnow 3D prints a clear Einstein-Szilard refrigerator powered by flame

Maker Ben Krasnow has constructed a transparent, 3D-printed absorption refrigerator based on the historic Einstein-Szilard design, proving that an open flame can drive a cooling cycle without mechanical compressors. The project brings a classic thermodynamic invention to life, allowing observers to see the phase changes inside the pressurized fluid loop.

A microscopic Archimedes screw spins between gold tips and boosts conductivity

Physicists and chemists in Germany, Denmark, and Israel have built an electrically driven molecular motor based on the spiral design of the Archimedes screw. The single-molecule invention, suspended between two atomic-scale gold tips, rotates continuously when current passes through it and reverses direction when the electrical polarity flips. By measuring electron transport and modeling quantum states, the researchers discovered that the spinning movement increases electrical conductivity by up to 100 times.
