Cool idea: NIST’s Daniel Barker, Steve Eckel, Jim Fedchak, Julia Scherschligt and colleagues have developed and tested a technique that uses cold atoms to measure ultralow pressures.

Here, she looks at the famously difficult Tshilubà word ilunga and wonders what you think is the most difficult word to translate. Just what does “the most untranslatable word in the world” really mean? In 2004 a BBC article raised to prominence the Tshilubà word ilunga, citing it as “the world’s most difficult word to translate,” based on the opinions of a group of one thousand linguists.

When I started reporting The Migrant Chef: The Life and Times of Lalo Garcia, back in 2016, I had a strong hunch that by chronicling the back of house at a fine dining restaurant, I might be able to observe, in microcosm, the broader social, political and cultural dynamics in Mexico today.

As I work through the disorderly archive and chip away at the mountain of responsibilities, my mind is drawn back to this image of Turner’s studio, left in a state of Pompeii-like destruction after the painter’s death. That same atmosphere of decay…
