Bamboozled by this ultracompact microbeetle. Maybe some kind of atomariine cryptophagid?? The forelegs are so compact it took me a while to realize they just form a solid plate under the pronotum

chanting has long been viewed as a rapid, ultracompact form of information transfer. but this ancient song may also have some kind of musical quality, scientists at the university of indiana report

In 1851 Hippolyte Fizeau observed that light could be dragged by moving water, its speed depending on the relative directions of the light and water. Now theorists have shown how an analogous phenomenon could be leveraged to create ultracompact funnels for thermal radiation.
Ultracompact Heat Funnels
Certain graphene–nanoparticle structures can efficiently focus thermal radiation at the nanoscale.

I believe you are correct. It’s called a Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor.

Is this a star or a galaxy?

This object may have Hubble’s signature four-pointed diffraction spikes, but it’s a galaxy, not a star!

It appears so small because it is an ultracompact dwarf galaxy that has 140 million stars crammed into it.

Concievable ultracompact "Fis/Fos" powerplant design
Just had a fun convo:
"Someone in the physics thread asked "could you make a nuclear piston engine" and of course that's already been someone's PhD thesis"

Wow yeah that's... Actually kind of amazing, actually.

by all merit the gameboy micro was a complete downgrade from what was available at the time. theyre also really expensive too.. but regardless that ultracompact design is so fun for some reason, extremely portable and silly

Update avec Franquin & Greg dans le début de "QRN sur Bretzelburg" (1966), 18ème album de Spirou & Fantasio
En gros Fantasio vient de dégoter le dernier transistor japonais ultracompact, avec un son surpuissant qui épuise Spirou & Marsu - même l'écureuil
Marsu l'avale par inadvertance!
