America’s New Superweapon? Electromagnetic Projectile Launchers That Fire at 4500 MPH
Posted by Shailesh Prasad in category: military
The new focus of military weapons right now is the railgun. It is capable of launching a projectile 125 miles at Mach 6 speeds using electromagnetic fields.
For several years now, America has been toying with the idea of railguns, weapons that fire not through gunpowder or chemical explosives, but through electromagnetic fields. Yes, these are electromagnetic projectile launchers. Now, they are not only close to reality, but right on the cusp of deployment.
Essentially, the railguns being developed right now operate on the following concept: There are electrical current charges on either side of the barrel of the gun, creating magnetic fields that push projectiles at amazing speeds.

Watch a chick develop and hatch outside of the egg
Posted by Shailesh Prasad in category: futurism
Cracking an egg into a glass bowl and then watching the chick develop, grow, and hatch sounds like the most terrible idea ever. But this adorable and super-enthusiastic video from Japan shows that it can be done — and lets us watch the entire fascinating process first-hand.
If you’re anything like us, your first reaction to this is probably “What the eff is going on here?” and your second is, “Why the hell would anyone do this?”
The video doesn’t come with subtitles, so it unfortunately doesn’t give us many clues. But with the help of Sarah Caroline Bell over at The Huffington Post, we’ve done some digging, and it turns out the experiment is demonstration of technique developed in Japan a few years ago.

Scientists Just Used Sound Waves to Make Gauntlets of Levitation
Posted by Shailesh Prasad in categories: innovation, particle physics
Researchers from the University of Bristol have used acoustics to make gauntlets that are able to levitate particles.
It seems that Earth is closer to Timelord technology than ever—particularly after a team of researchers from the University of Bristol in England unveiled their latest invention: the GauntLev.
The GauntLev functions similar to Doctor Who’s infamous sonic screwdriver. Well, almost. Timelord sonic screwdrivers can pick locks and disarm weapons, scan matter, and do a bunch of other cool stuff. Earthling sonic screwdrivers can levitate objects using sound waves.

There is a ‘game changer’ technology on Wall Street and people keep confusing it with bitcoin
Posted by Shailesh Prasad in categories: bitcoin, finance
Wall Street banks are buzzing about blockchain.
Goldman Sachs says the technology “has the potential to redefine transactions” and can change “everything.”
JPMorgan last month announced it was launching a trial project with the blockchain startup led by its former executive, Blythe Masters. Her company, Digital Asset Holdings, has secured funding from Goldman, Citi, ICAP, and a boatload of other financial firms.
