Author and illustrator Rebecca Burgess has announced a new graphic novel about Autism, aimed at 8-12 year olds. She definitely seems to have a history of writing well rated books about neurodiversities, so this should be good for helping children learn about Autism.

Operation Chicken Drumstick sounds like a name for a sneaky run to KFC, but it's actually a Chinese police sting against a major hacker group with millions of dollars in assets, including luxury cars. We're in the wrong line of work. But these ones got caught, and we aren't tough enough for jail, so maybe not.

Kirigami is an ancient Japanese art of cutting and folding paper, and scientists have worked out how to use it to create nano scale parts for robots. The secret? Very small scissors.
