Some protests of the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd turned into violent clashes with law enforcement. The city of Camden, New Jersey, has provided a stark counterexample, with police marching peacefully alongside demonstrators. It’s a reflection of years of reforms that some, including former President Barack Obama, have held up as an example for police departments across America. But some in the community see a more problematic side to the story.

Solar panels in orbit would have an advantage over earthbound systems that can’t operate during nighttime or cloud cover.
Chinese researchers have successfully tested a full-system model of technology that could one day wirelessly transmit solar power from outer space to Earth.
A model power station at Xidian University in Shaanxi province captures sunlight high above the ground and converts it into microwave beams. It then transmits through the air to a receiver station on the ground, where it can be converted back to electricity. While the model only sends the energy 55 meters through the air, the researchers hope the technology could one day be expanded to send power from orbiting solar panels to Earth.
