MIT scientists and their colleagues have created a simple superconducting device that could transfer current through electronic devices much more efficiently than is possible today. As a result, the new diode, a kind of switch, could dramatically cut the amount of energy used in high-power computing systems, a major problem that is estimated to become much worse. Even though it is in the early stages of development, the diode is more than twice as efficient as similar ones reported by others. It could even be integral to emerging quantum computing technologies.

CEBU CITY, Philippines — The Cebu Port Authority (CPA) has activated its Incident Command System in preparation for the possible impact of Super Typhoon Mawar, which will be named 'Betty' once it enters the country's area of responsibility. The CPA has instructed port managers and harbor masters to conduct emergency inspections of port facilities to identify vulnerable areas for immediate retrofitting and fixing loose objects, which might become 'flying fragments' during the onslaught of Betty in the Philippines.

Is there anyone out there who's very familiar with anemometers and manometers? I decided to get a replacement of the ProtMex anemometer I have, but I'm not going to be surprised if it also has erroneous measurements, so I'm looking at some, including the one used by HWCooling.net, Extech AN300 (which is significantly cheaper on Extech's site than on Amazon), of which there are two variants. I'm also considering getting a Pitot pressure anemometer instead, which is the only one I've found that will give me temperature, airflow and static pressure for something as small as case fans.
