It is one roadblock away from large-scale applications.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Insititute of Technology have further advanced the technology used to achieve passive cooling — a method that does not require electricity at all. In their recent attempts, the post-doctoral researcher Zhengmao Lu and his colleagues achieved passive cooling up to 19 degrees Fahrenheit (9.3 degrees Celsius), a university press release said.

The system combines two standalone passive cooling technologies that have been used previously and then added thermal insulation to provide significantly more cooling, which hasn’t been achieved before. Not only does the system free you up from having to dig a hole underground to make a fridge, but the only maintenance it would require is also the addition of water. The frequency of this would also depend on the humidity of the area. system combines two standalone passive cooling technologies that have been used previously and then added thermal insulation to provide significantly more cooling, which hasn’t been achieved before.

What if we were a million years more advanced or a billion there would always be the possibility of something greater.

A 7.6-magnitude earthquake shook the Pacific coast of central Mexico Monday, killing at least one person, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Introducing SpecTrain as means to predict future weights of neural network to alleviate data staleness and improve speed of training via distributed training.

Organisms that reproduce quickly can quickly evolve into new species, while geographic barriers can lead to new species formation over tens of millions of years.

Air conducts electricity. In the vicinity of the Earth, the electrical conductivity of the atmosphere is — fortunately — very low. However, already about 50 km above the Earth, air becomes a good conductor of electricity.

By this method, spiders can float away from their predators or any competitors. They can even go to any new land where there is an abundance of resources. It is an effective way of traveling for spiders a report by The Atlantic explained. The spiders have been observed to have gone as high as two-and-a-half miles up in the air and as far as 1,000 miles out in the sea.

It is generally believed that ballooning can work as the silk strands catch the wind and tend to drag the spider along with the flow. However, it has been observed that spiders balloon only when there is light wind speed. But such low wind speed can barely move the silk strands let alone move the entire spider or provide high acceleration.

(This story is inspired by Robert Nozick’s “experience machine” thought experiment, which can be found in his book, “Anarchy, State, and Utopia.”) In this story, we follow one of the future’s most influential thinkers as he encounters a new technology that changes everything and forces him to rethink his entire life and work.
