Moscow Surprisingly Says West Jerusalem Is Israel's Capital jpost
The statement issued by the Russian Foreign Ministry reads, “We reaffirm our commitment to the UN-approved principles for a Palestinian-Israeli settlement, which include the status of east Jerusalem as the capital of the future Palestinian state. At the same time, we must state that in this context we view west Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.”

Boeing and JetBlue Are Funding This Startup's Electric Aircraft bloomberg
Zunum Aero zunum.aero is designing and building 10- to 50-seat planes for trips of 700 miles initially and as much as 1,000 miles by 2030. The aircraft would fill a “vast regional transport gap” and reduce travel times in busy corridors by as much as 40 percent, and by 80 percent in areas with less traffic, Zunum said in a statement Wednesday.

This tiny ray-bot can spy on you while you swim theverge
The nearly invisible robotic creature, described in a paper published today in the journal Science Advances sciencemag.org, resembles a tiny manta ray. (If its creators aren’t calling it ray-bot yet, they should be.) It has flexible silicone fins stretched across acrylic frames, and two electrodes: one sits inside the robot’s body, sandwiched between two sheets of “muscle” made of a polymer that shrinks when electricity runs through it; the other electrode is the water itself, where the robot swims.

This graphene filter could make it cheaper to drink seawater popsci
A new study released earlier this week in the journal Nature Nanotechnology may be a major step towards making desalinated water—water in which salt is removed to make it safe for drinking—a viable option for more of the world. Researchers from the University of Manchester manchester.ac.uk modified graphene oxide membranes, a type of selectively permeable membrane that allows some molecules to pass while keeping others behind, to let water through while trapping salt ions. It's essentially a molecular sieve.
