📰 Scientists beam solar power to Earth from space for 1st time ever
The Space Solar Power Demonstrator's MAPLE experiment was able to wirelessly transfer collected solar power to receivers in space and direct energy to Earth
A space solar power prototype has demonstrated its ability to wirelessly beam power through space and direct a detectable amount of energy toward Earth for the first time. The experiment proves the viability of tapping into a near-limitless supply of power in the form of energy from the sun from space.
Because solar energy in space isn’t subject to factors like day and night, obscuration by clouds, or weather on Earth, it is always available. In fact, it is estimated that space-based harvesters could potentially yield eight times more power than solar panels at any location on the surface of the globe.

📰 New functionality: Bluetooth for Pico W
In June last year, Raspberry Pi Foundation launched Raspberry Pi Pico W, a $6 wireless-enabled variant of Pico platform, built around the RP2040 microcontroller. In the year since, they’ve sold over half a million of these tiny boards, and these microcontrollers have found their way into countless projects, from singing fish to web servers to communicative house plants.
But one thing has been missing: Bluetooth support. Now, with the release of version 1.5.1 of the C SDK, and the latest MicroPython build, your existing Pico W has gained the ability to communicate with Bluetooth and Bluetooth LE devices.
