From Tesla to Space X, and to the Boring Company digging tunnels under Las Vegas, Elon Musk has his hands in many projects over the last few decades, but arguably his biggest move is purchasing Twitter for roughly $44 billion.

A hyperloop public transportation system. An initiative to funnel students from marginalized communities into tech-related fields. A plan to brand Las Vegas as a “medical tourism” destination.
A new “Shark Tank” style entrepreneurial competition at the ҳ| 鶹ýӳ, tasked nine teams of students with solving one of Nevada’s most pressing problems: economic diversity.
Students give presentations during the “President’s Innovation Challenge” at UNLV in Las Vegas Wednesday, April 6, 2022. Nine student teams competed for $25,000 as they submitted solutions to Southern Nevada’s biggest challenges.
Building new ideas to move Las Vegas forward. UNLV hosted the first competition where student teams pitched their business ideas.
Water ice is water ice, you might say. Okay, you have rockets, pear ice creams and so on. But if you freeze nothing but pure water—that is, molecules made up of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms—you simply get ice—right?

Researchers have discovered a new form of ice, which could have implications for our understanding of distant, water-rich planets. The findings of the study were published in the journal ‘Physical Review B’. Solid water, or ice, is like many other materials in that it can form different solid materials based on variable temperatures and pressure conditions, like carbon forming diamond or graphite. However, water is exceptional in this aspect as there are at least 20 solid forms of ice known to us. A team of scientists working in UNLV’s Nevada Extreme Conditions Lab pioneered a new method for measuring the properties of water under high pressure. The water sample was first squeezed between the tips of two opposite-facing diamonds — freezing into several jumbled ice crystals. The ice was then subjected to a laser-heating technique that temporarily melted it before it quickly reformed into a powder-like collection of tiny crystals.
