Jet engines need cutting-edge materials that are strong, light and can withstand extreme heat. GE is developing a material that can handle high temperatures like ceramics can and is also as tough as metal. Here, a projectile fired at a sample of advanced ceramic composite tests the material’s ability to endure the strike.
Beautiful leopard.
This is a newly discovered species of leopards, named “the Bornean Big Cat”.
(via Animals / Newly discovered leopard species, Bornean big cat.)
I’m pretty sure this is a Sunda Clouded Leopard. They’ve been known about for around 200 years, but it was only in 2006 that they were declared a separate subspecies from the Bornean Clouded Leopard. So they’re definitely not newly discovered :P
