Making oxygen with magnets could help astronauts breathe easy

A potentially better way to make oxygen for astronauts in space using magnetism has been proposed by an international team of scientists, including a University of Warwick chemist.

The conclusion is from new research on magnetic phase separation in microgravity published in npj Microgravity by researchers from the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom, University of Colorado Boulder and Freie Universität Berlin in Germany.

Keeping astronauts breathing aboard the International Space Station and other is a complicated and costly process. As humans plan future missions to the Moon or Mars better technology will be needed.

First-of-its-kind armored dinosaur discovered — and it’s only as big as a house cat

Scientists have discovered the remains of a small armored dinosaur.

Paleontologists announced the discovery of a previously unknown small armored dinosaur in southern Argentina, according to a report by The Guardian.

Jakapil Kaniukura, the Cretaceous period dinosaur, would have been well-protected with rows of bony disc-shaped armor along its neck, back, and tail.

Why dance is NOT a universal language | Fangfei Miao | TEDxUofM

This performative talk comes from the speaker’s personal experience as an artist scholar and outside insider who travels between the US and China for dance production and research.

Dr. Fangfei Miao is an Assistant Professor of Dance in the School of Music at U-M. She is also an accomplished international dance scholar, choreographer, and dancer. Her current research on dance and Asian studies has led to her book project that focuses on historical “errors” in cross-cultural dance transmissions in Reform Era China (1978-present). She has toured internationally and staged her experimental choreography in New York City, Los Angeles, Auckland, and Beijing. Miao previously received her PhD in Culture and Performance (2019) from UCLA, MFA in Choreography (2011) and BA in Dance History and Theory (2008) from the Beijing Dance Academy, China’s premier dance conservatory. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Apple Expecting to Ship 1.5 Million Units of $2,000+ AR/VR Headset in 2023

Apple plans to ship approximately 1.5 million units of its upcoming AR/VR headset in 2023, according to reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

In a research note, Kuo reiterated that Apple plans to announce its long-rumored mixed-reality headset during an event in January 2023. The company’s first AR/VR headset is expected to cost upwards of $2,000, making it a niche product. As a result, Kuo says shipments of the device are unlikely to exceed 1.5 million units in 2023.
