Cottage Industry

Estate agents are known for describing smaller houses as ‘bijou’ or ‘cosy’. But imagine the tiny clunks of roof panels slipping together in this house, a million times smaller than a cottage. Pictured with a scanning electron microscope, the tiny abode is assembled by robots on the tip of an optical fibre (looking like a podium here), inside a nanofactory. An ion beam laser cuts a template of the house out of a sheet of silica ‘paper’, which then folds itself up. A tweak on the laser settings welds the house together. But this isn’t a rehousing project for bacteria, rather a proof of principle for an even more ambitious idea – constructing tiny, yet sophisticated sensors on the ends of optical fibres as thin a human hairs. At home inside the body, these could measure our blood pressure, changes in temperature or the monitor the fight against infections.

Planck Maps the Microwave Background
Image Credit: European Space Agency, Planck Collaboration

Explanation: What is our universe made of? To help find out, ESA launched the Planck satellite from 2009 to 2013 to map, in unprecedented detail, slight temperature differences on the oldest optical surface known – the background sky when our universe first became transparent to light. Visible in all directions, this cosmic microwave background is a complex tapestry that could only show the hot and cold patterns observed were the universe to be composed of specific types of energy that evolved in specific ways. The final results, reported last week, confirm again that most of our universe is mostly composed of mysterious and unfamiliar dark energy, and that even most of the remaining matter energy is strangely dark. Additionally, the “final” 2018 Planck data impressively peg the age of the universe at about 13.8 billion years and the local expansion rate – called the Hubble constant – at 67.4 (+/- 0.5) km/sec/Mpc. Oddly, this early-universe determined Hubble constant is slightly lower than that determined by other methods in the late-universe, creating a tension that is causing much discussion and speculation.
