The first room-temperature ambient-pressure superconductor?
Summary: Researchers have successfully synthesized the first room-temperature ambient-pressure superconductor, LK-99, with a critical temperature of 400 K (127°C). The superconductivity originates from minute structural distortion caused by Cu²⁺ substitution of Pb²⁺(2) ions, creating superconducting quantum wells. This breakthrough could have significant implications for energy efficiency and technology applications.

PRQL: Pipelined Relational Query Language
Summary: PRQL is a modern language for transforming data, offering a simple, powerful, and pipelined SQL replacement. It is readable, explicit, and declarative, forming a logical pipeline of transformations while supporting variables and functions. PRQL is compatible with any SQL database as it compiles to SQL. The project is actively developed by a growing community and is ready for use by intrepid users, with supported integrations and language bindings available.
