We recently covered the fact that Triton, the supposed underwater breathing gill, has raised over $600,000 in crowd-funding however how viable is this device and is it science fiction?
The premise is that a compact and simple device will allow you to “breathe underwater” by “extracting oxygen under water through a filter made of fine threads with holes smaller than water molecules”.
A team of scientists from GNS Science, New Zealand’s leading provider of Earth, geoscience and isotope research and consultancy services, has created new bathymetric and tectonic maps of Zealandia, Earth’s eighth continent.
Can some animals really exist without a nervous system? Trichoplax, an animal that evolved about a billion years ago, might give us an answer.
The service still plans to hold an open competition to formally decide on what engine will power the bulk of the jets.
Software Wars is a 70 minute documentary about the ongoing battle between proprietary versus free and open-source software. The more we share scientific information, the faster we can solve the challenges of the future. It also discusses biology and the space elevator.
Here is the feature trailer:

Plasma is the 4th state of matter and it comes in many flavors. You probably know it from it’s greatest hits, fire and lightning, but there is a lot more to plasma than most people are aware of. Cold plasma is my personal favorite as it has the same beautiful glow that all plasma have, but it’s no warmer than room temp and feels cold to the touch. In this video we go through my year long journey to harness this weird state of matter into a torch that can be used for future experiments and in the lab.

An explanatory intro of the new 24V Q2 Charge Accelerator.
Also intended as an experimental example of a Quanta Charger equipment extension.
The Q2 also has the ability to recycle a portion of the energy required to operate its system by internally recharging Ultracapacitors (Boostcaps) that run the motor/generator combination machine.
New Zealand’s monster penguins, which lived 62 million years ago, had doppelgangers in Japan, the U.S. and Canada, a study published today in the Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research has found.
Scientists have identified striking similarities between the penguins’ fossilized bones and those of a group of much younger Northern Hemisphere birds, the plotopterids.
These similarities suggest plotopterids and ancient penguins looked very similar and might help scientists understand how birds started using their wings to swim instead of fly.
Ein neues Influenzavirus kann offenbar vom Schwein auf den Menschen übertragen werden und diese infizieren. Ob sich daraus allerdings eine weitere Pandemie entwickeln kann, bleibt abzuwarten.
The operation saw Air Force C-17s laden with airborne troops fly thousands of miles across the Pacific to raid Andersen AFB.
