You’ve seen the Microsoft Excel world championships, now here’s an interesting look at the world Morse code championship, also known as high-speed telegraphy (HST). Put simply, amateur radio operators are tasked with accurately receiving, copying, and in some competitions, sending, Morse code transmissions sent at very high speeds.

Trying to use the world’s smallest NERF gun is probably tougher than actually building it, while Uhltimate’s 3D-printed semi-automatic 6-shot blaster looks to be a joy to fire, thanks to a compliant mechanism. It consists of three parts: the trigger, a sear, and the striker.
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and Webb show a new view of a cosmic wreath, also known as star cluster NGC 602 located on the edge of the Small Magellanic Cloud around 200,000 light-years from Earth. Radiation and shock waves from the stars here have pushed away much of the lighter surrounding gas and dust, resulting in new star formation in the ridges of the nebula.
