These days the German manufacturers dominate the market for executive saloons - what the industry calls the E segment - created by British models like this P6 Rover 2000 seen at Beaulieu. The 2000, introduced in 1963, featured highlights such as a de Dion rear axle, a new OHC engine, Citroën DS style bolt-on panels and advanced-for-the-time safety features. But there was a much more specific link to the recently featured Audi 100s, of which more tomorrow.

The image features a large, well-preserved skeleton of a prehistoric animal, likely a large mammal, displayed in a museum setting. The skeleton is positioned upright, with its head tilted back and one arm raised, showcasing the detailed structure of the bones. The ribcage is prominent, with the ribs clearly visible, and the skull is positioned above the body, revealing the eye sockets and teeth. The bones are a light beige color, contrasting with the dark background, which enhances the visibility of the skeleton. The lighting is focused on the skeleton, highlighting its features and creating a dramatic effect. The background is dark, with no other objects or distractions, allowing the viewer to focus entirely on the skeleton.

Better Solid State Heat Pumps Through Science
If you need to cool something, the gold standard is using a gas compressor arrangement. Of course, there are definite downsides to that, like weight, power consumption, and vibrations. There are solid-state heat pumps — the kind you see in portable coolers, for example. But, they are not terribly efficient and have limited performance.
However, researchers at Johns Hopkins, working with Samsung, have developed a new thin-film thermoelectric heat pump, which they claim is easy to fabricate, scalable, and significantly more efficient. You can see a video about the new research below.
Manufacturing requires similar processes to solar cells, and the technology can make tiny heat pumps or — in theory — coolers that could provide air conditioning for large buildings. You can read the full paper in Nature.
CHESS stands for Controlled Hierarchically Engineered Superlattice Structures. These are nano-engineered thin-film superlattices (around 25 μm thick). The design optimizes their performance in this application.
The new devices claim to be 100% more efficient at room temperature than traditional devices. In practical devices, thermoelectric devices and the systems using them have improved by around 70% to 75%. The material can also harvest power from heat differences, such as body heat. The potential small size of devices made with this technology would make them practical for wearables.
We’ve looked at the traditional modules many times. They sometimes show up in cloud chambers.

The image depicts a futuristic scene with multiple large, industrial-looking spacecraft floating in the sky above a reddish-orange planet. The spacecraft are predominantly white with some red accents and feature complex structures, including antennas and protruding elements. They are arranged in a staggered formation, with some closer to the viewer and others further away, creating a sense of depth. The planet's surface is visible in the background, with a gradient of orange hues suggesting a thick atmosphere. The overall color palette is dominated by shades of orange and brown, contributing to a desolate and otherworldly atmosphere. The scene is devoid of any visible life forms or activity, emphasizing the mechanical and industrial nature of the setting.

The image depicts a fantasy character resembling an elf or goblin, crouched in a stealthy pose. The character has pointed ears, green skin, and blue markings on the face, including a distinctive V-shaped mark above the eyes. They are wearing a dark, armored vest with a grid-like pattern, leather gloves, and knee-high boots. The character is holding a small knife in their right hand, poised for action. The background features a stone wall with a weathered texture and some overgrown grass, suggesting an outdoor setting. The character's posture and attire suggest they are prepared for combat or stealth.

The image depicts two characters standing in front of a large rock formation with a mountainous background. The character on the left is a female with long red hair styled in braids, wearing a green dress with gold trim and a white undergarment. She is holding the hand of the character on the right, who is a male with gray hair and a beard, wearing a brown tunic with a belt and a scarf. They are framed by a circular border made of branches and leaves, giving the image a natural, rustic feel. The characters appear to be engaged in a friendly or significant interaction, as indicated by their hand-holding and direct eye contact.

The image depicts a female figure with large, black wings spread wide, standing in front of a stone tower. She is wearing a detailed, metallic armor that covers her torso, arms, and legs, with a design that suggests a blend of fantasy and medieval elements. The armor is primarily silver with some gold accents, and she wears thigh-high boots. She holds a large axe in each hand, with the axes having wooden handles and gold detailing. Her hair is styled in a long braid, and she wears a headpiece that complements her armor. The background features a cloudy sky and a stone structure, possibly part of a castle or fortress, with a rugged landscape in the distance. The overall color palette includes grays, blacks, and metallic tones, contributing to a dramatic and heroic atmosphere.

The image depicts four anthropomorphic characters standing in front of a blue wooden door with a stone wall and ivy in the background. The characters are framed by an ornate wooden border with intricate carvings.
- On the left, there is a character with a red bird-like head, wearing a long brown dress with a white collar and cuffs, standing with hands clasped in front.
- Next to them is a muscular character with a bull-like head, wearing a white shirt and a plaid kilt, with arms crossed.
- The third character, on the right, has a cat-like head and is dressed in a brown coat with a feathered hat, holding a sword in a relaxed stance.
- The fourth character, crouching in the foreground, has a rat-like appearance, wearing a green and brown outfit with a hood, and is interacting with a snake.
The scene is set in a stone-paved area with some greenery, suggesting a medieval or fantasy setting.
