Scientists found that protoplanetary disks around wide binaries have strange orientations
Posted in: Today's ChiliAstronomers have been searching the skies using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimter Array (ALMA) to study orbital geometries and protoplanetary disks that surround binary stars. The team found that protoplanetary disks orbiting most compact binary star systems have very nearly the same orbital plane. However, when a protoplanetary disk orbits a wide binary pair, the orbital plane tends to be severely … Continue reading

What's the Softest Thing?
Posted in: Today's ChiliThere are a lot of soft things out there: cats, infants, expertly-laundered sweaters. If there was some kind of omniscient softness guide, ranking every item in the universe in order of softness, these three items would for sure land towards the top. Of course, such a guide would be very difficult to assemble: as…

World Of Warcraft Is Introducing 100% XP Boost To Encourage Players To Stay Home
Posted in: Today's Chili
With people around the world being advised to stay home to practice social distancing and to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, many are no doubt taking this opportunity to play games that they might not have otherwise have the time for. If you are a World of Warcraft player who has retired, now might be a good time to get back into the game.
This is because in a bid to entice players to return to the game and to stay home, Blizzard has implemented the Winds of Wisdom. This basically gives all players a 100% experience buff which means that all experience they get in the game, like killing monsters and completing quests, will be essentially doubled.
According to Blizzard, “If you’re staying inside and find yourself returning to Azeroth, or if you’re leveling another character (or two), you’ll be getting a special bonus to help you on your way. Beginning today through April 20, 2020 all players in Battle for Azeroth will gain an experience buff called “Winds of Wisdom” which will increase experience gains by 100%! (This includes Starter Edition and Legion players as well.)”
If you’ve already maxed out your current character, now’s actually a pretty good time to start leveling some alts. Blizzard also mentions that this experience boost will stack with Heirloom items (which already grant XP bonuses), meaning that for some players, they will be able to get more than double their XP.

As doctors and healthcare workers are putting themselves in the frontlines in this war against the coronavirus, it means that keeping them safe and healthy makes sense. Unfortunately, due to the sheer number of cases around the world, doctors and hospitals are being overwhelmed and are running out of essential supplies.
However, the good news for Malaysian medical frontliners is that thanks to the efforts of the local 3D printing community, they have gathered together to help with the supply shortage by 3D printing face shields. For those unfamiliar, face shields are part of the protective equipment that doctors use to help prevent things like spit or blood from getting onto their skin.
Given how infectious the coronavirus is, doctors tend to don full protective gear when dealing with patients who are infected. The gear needs to be thrown away after being used, which means that over time, it’s not surprising that hospitals eventually start to run out given the number of cases per day.
In the meantime, companies around the world have also been doing their part, such as Razer who will start making surgical masks. We are also seeing 3D printers in other parts of the world create respiratory valves, and how engineers and designers have also gotten together to create an open-source ventilator that can be supplied to hospitals.
