“The first A in NASA stands for aeronautics. And we’re all about groundbreaking aerospace innovation,” Melroy said. “The X-59 proudly continues this legacy, representing the forefront of technology driving aviation forward.”
NASA’s latest X-plane (‘X’ for “experimental”) is the culmination of decades of research and involved radically different manufacturing approaches including new augmented reality systems, robotic drilling and 3D modeling techniques.
“This isn’t just an airplane, this is an X-plane,” Melroy added. “It’s the manifestation of a collaborative genius.”
Two tight fasteners kept the majority of the Bennu asteroid sample from scientists since it returned to Earth in September. Now they’ve finally prised it open.
The computing power of today is based on increasingly teeny tiny bits of silicon, transistors. What happens when we can’t make them any smaller, and the CPUs in our computers any faster? In this episode of Future of Tech, we explore a possible solution in the world of DNA computing.
