When a lightning return stroke heats a channel only centimetres wide to roughly 30,000 kelvin, about five times the temperature of the Sun’s visible surface, the air expands so violently that the pressure wave rolls across the ground as thunder

In October 1957, a beachball-sized aluminium sphere called Sputnik 1 began sending 0.3-second pulses on two radio frequencies from orbit, signals amateur operators around the world could receive, making the space age suddenly audible from Earth

Roughly 99 per cent of international internet traffic runs through about 550 undersea cables — and a handful of private companies including Google, Meta and Amazon now own or lease a growing share of them

Content and cloud networks now account for three-quarters of used international bandwidth, while Google, Meta, Microsoft and Amazon own, co-own or buy capacity on a growing share of the 600-plus submarine cable systems carrying over 99 per cent of data between countries, a private map hidden below the wireless internet

Cool a ceramic made of yttrium, barium and copper oxide to 93 kelvin and it will levitate a magnet indefinitely — the 1986 discovery that finally pushed superconductors above the temperature of liquid nitrogen

In 1987, a year after the breakthrough that revived high-temperature superconductivity, physicists cooled a ceramic of yttrium, barium and copper oxide to 93 kelvin and watched it levitate a magnet indefinitely — the first superconductor cold enough to run on liquid nitrogen instead of scarce, expensive helium
