Spacesuits have been bulky since before Apollo 11. A skintight design may change that

Circa 2019 o,.o.
The iconic, but bulky, spacesuit worn by Neil Armstrong hasn’t drastically changed in decades. A skintight design may change that.

Does green coffee bean extract work? A detailed review
Posted by Omuterema Akhahenda in categories: biotech/medical, food, health
Imagine if this very cheap thing could treat coronavirus 🤔
That would put a wrench in profiteers plans:
Green coffee bean extract is a popular weight loss and health supplement, but does it work, and is it safe?

Samsung will unveil 5 new products at its big phone event on Aug. 5
Posted by Quinn Sena in category: mobile phones
Samsung’s president and head of mobile communications T.M. Roh said in a blog post Monday that Samsung will announce five new products during the company’s big “Galaxy Unpacked” event on Aug. 5.
Samsung didn’t say what it will unveil, but it has teased a new Galaxy Note phone. The company typically unveils its large-screened Galaxy Note devices — best known for the pen that slides into the side — in August. Samsung usually packs in all of the latest hardware and software it has to offer into its Galaxy Note phones ahead of Apple’s iPhone event, which is typically held in September. Rumors suggest this year’s model will be called the Galaxy Note 20.

A Programmable Quantum Chip, via Silicon Photonics
Posted by Quinn Sena in categories: computing, quantum physics
U.K.-led research team packs more than 200 photonic components onto a chip that performs reconfigurable quantum information processing with light.
Seeing is believing: a little frog (alive!) and a water ball levitate inside a Ø32mm vertical bore of a Bitter solenoid in a magnetic field of about 16 Tesla.

Astrophysicists fill in 11 billion years of the universe’s expansion history
Posted by Quinn Sena in category: cosmology
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) released today a comprehensive analysis of the largest three-dimensional map of the universe ever created, filling in the most significant gaps in our possible exploration of its history.
“We know both the ancient history of the universe and its recent expansion history fairly well, but there’s a troublesome gap in the middle 11 billion years,” says cosmologist Kyle Dawson of the University of Utah, who leads the team announcing today’s results. “For five years, we have worked to fill in that gap, and we are using that information to provide some of the most substantial advances in cosmology in the last decade.”

US20030067235A1 — Diamagnetic propulsion vehicle
Posted by Quinn Sena in categories: materials, transportation
Omg levitating cars o,.o!
In this vehicle, the diamagnetic fields principles are applied to obtain a hovering and propulsion effect which makes low cost, friction free and zero pollutant emissions transport media. This is done using a special combination of electromagnetic and the natural diamagnetic susceptibility in all The physical effect of this is an air gap between the surface and the vehicle. The height of levitation has a direct relationship with the material used as floor surface; since all materials have diamagnetic susceptibility factors. Also, the power on the diamagnetic field is a key for the levitation and propulsion effect. All these factors make this prototype vehicle an easy maneuverable one, since there are almost no inertial forces in the system.
