Supramolecular electronics
Did you know that Supramolecular electronics is the experimental field of supramolecular chemistry that bridges the gap between molecular electronics and bulk plastics in the construction of electronic circuitry at the nanoscale. In supramolecular electronics, assemblies of pi-conjugated systems on the 5 to 100 nanometer scale are prepared by molecular self-assembly with the aim to fit these structures between electrodes. With single molecules as researched in molecular electronics at the 5 nanometer scale this would be impractical.[why?] Nanofibers can be prepared from polymers such as polyaniline and polyacetylene. Chiral oligo(p-phenylenevinylene)s self-assemble in a controlled fashion into (helical) wires. An example of actively researched compounds in this field are certain coronenes.

QuickTime Graphics
Did you know that QuickTime Graphics is a lossy video compression and decompression algorithm (codec) developed by Apple Inc.and first released as part of QuickTime 1.x in the early 1990s. The codec is also known by the name Apple Graphics and its FourCC SMC. The codec operates on 8-bit palettized RGB data. The bit-stream format of QuickTime Graphics has been reverse-engineered and a decoder has been implemented in the projects XAnim and libavcodec. The input video that the codec operates on is in an 8-bit palettized RGB colorspace.Compression is achieved by conditional replenishment and by reducing the palette from 256 colors to a per-4×4 block adaptive palette of 1-16 colors.Because Apple Video operates in the image domain without motion compensation, decoding is much faster than MPEG-style codecs which use motion compensation and perform coding in a transform domain.As a tradeoff, the compression performance of Apple Graphics is lower.

Jerome Inglott
Did you know that was a notable Maltese philosopher and theologian? Jerome Inglott (1776–1835) was a Maltese philosopher and theologian.His areas of specialisation in philosophy were chiefly metaphysics and ontology.He held the Chair of Philosophy at the University of Malta (1822–27), and was one of the Philosopher-Rectors at the same university (1826–33). Considering his official obligations at various high institutions, and his extant work, Inglott must have possessed a formidable mind.Unfortunately, however, it seems that he was almost completely taken up by administrative duties which left him little time to write his philosophical thoughts.This considerably weakened his influence both on his contemporaries as on his posteriors.Inglott was born at Senglea, Malta, on April 11, 1776.He joined the Order of Preachers at Vittoriosa, Malta in 1796 at twenty years of age.After completing his institutional studies in philosophy and theology, he continued living at Vittoriosa, teaching theology and philosophy at its Studium.

Procaris noelensis
Did you know that Procaris noelensis is a species of shrimp, a single specimen having been described by Bruce & Davie from a freshwater/tidally influenced cave system on Christmas Island in 2006. This species is widely separated geographically from other members of its genus and may be a relict species from the Mesozoic fauna of the Tethys Ocean, with Christmas Island being its refugium. This theory is reinforced by the fact that it was found living in sympatry with a hippolytid shrimp and an atyid shrimp, the latter coming from another ancient lineage and often found inhabiting anchialine systems. Procaris is a small genus of aberrant shrimps with only five known members.
