The Pentagon’s vision of new military jetpacks may finally be coming to fruition
The future we’ve been waiting for is a little closer.
Recent information from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has revealed that the Pentagon has indeed continued to pursue military-equipped jetpacks.
And now, they seem closer than ever to achieving their goal as they have already awarded contracts to companies to build test prototypes.
New light-controlling device could allow LIDAR to image scenes a million times faster
Controlling light “has been a recurring research theme since antiquity.”
An international group of researchers, led by a team at MIT, spent more than four years developing technologies for high-speed optical beam forming.
The researchers also developed a pioneering fabrication process that will ensure the quality of the device if and when it is manufactured at scale.

They have now presented the fruits of their labor: a programmable, wireless device that can control light. The new system can manipulate the intensity of light and focus it in specific directions, and “do it orders of magnitude more quickly than commercial devices,” an MIT press statement reveals.
Scientists have solved the mystery of male rats without Y chromosomes
The Y chromosome carries a gene called SRY, which turns on male genes on other chromosomes.
The Amami spiny rat, one of the species that lack a Y chromosome and the Sry.
As per the press release, under normal conditions, the Sry gene on the Y chromosome triggers the formation of the testes. However, the Sry gene, along with the Y chromosome, has vanished in a small number of rodent species.

By upregulating Sox9 in the absence of Sry, the researchers found that the sequence duplication in Amami spiny rats was a novel regulatory factor.

Dawe Quantum Teleology. How the future affects the preent. The Two State Vector
The two stage vector interpretation of quantum theory apart from attempting to resolve the paradoxes of traditional quantum theory provides a physical basis for teleology and understanding how there is a small probability that future events affect present ones.
Jetson offers a unique take on the jet-powered surfboard
There are now quite a few electric surfboards on the market, and they almost all work in the same way – their jet drive runs for as long as you squeeze a throttle on a handheld remote. The Jetson is different, in that it provides temporary boosts as needed.
Manufactured by Florida-based startup Jetson Surf Technology, the board is currently the subject of an Indiegogo campaign.
As far as its conventional features go, the Jetson sports four removable fins, epoxy resin construction, and is being offered in three lengths catering to individual users’ body size, skill level and surfing style. The choices are 6 ft/8 in, 8 feet and 9 feet (2, 2.4 and 2.7 m), which reportedly tip the scales at 19, 21 and 23 lb (8.6, 9.5 and 10.4 kg), respectively.
