New gravitational ‘superhighway’ system discovered in the Solar System
Posted by Alberto Lao in category: space travel
A new ‘superhighway’ network running through the Solar System has been discovered by astronomers, and it could speed up space travel in the future.
Researchers from the University of California San Diego looked at the orbits of millions of bodies in our Solar System and computed how they fit together and interact.

AI Trying To Design Inspirational Posters Goes Horribly And Hilariously Wrong
Posted by Raphael Ramos in categories: internet, robotics/AI, space
I think it has its own niche. 😃
Whenever an artificial intelligence (AI) does something well, we’re simultaneously impressed as we are worried. AlphaGO is a great example of this: a machine learning system that is better than any human at one of the world’s most complex games. Or what about Google’s neural networks that are able to create their own AIs autonomously?

The Experimental Engine That Could Get Us Anywhere in the World in 2 Hours
Posted by Quinn Sena in categories: futurism, transportation
Here’s our best hope for hypersonic flight yet: the sodramjet.
A Chinese-made “sodramjet” engine has reached nine times the speed of sound in a wind tunnel test. The engine could power an aircraft to reach anywhere in the world within two hours, the makers say.
➡ You love badass tech of the future. So do we. Let’s nerd out over this stuff together.

China eyes advanced ‘weather modification’ tech by 2025
Posted by Derick Lee in categories: food, geoengineering
Weather modification, according to the document, would support: forecasts of disasters such as drought and hailstorms, as well as zoning work in agricultural production areas; normal working plans for regions in need of ecological protection and restoration; and emergency response plans to deal with events such as forest or grassland fires, and unusually high temperature or droughts.
The country’s weather modification efforts would support emergency response plans to deal with events such as drought and hailstorms.

On the cutting edge: Carbon nanotube cutlery
Posted by Quinn Sena in categories: biological, engineering, nanotechnology
Circa 2006 o.,o.
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the University of Colorado at Boulder have designed a carbon nanotube knife that, in theory, would work like a tight-wire cheese slicer.
In a paper presented this month at the 2006 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition, the research team announced a prototype nanoknife that could, in the future, become a tabletop tool of biology, allowing scientists to cut and study cells more precisely than they can today.
