Intriguing Remains of a Rare Stellar Explosion Discovered in Milky Way Center

Posted by in category: cosmology

Scientists have discovered the first evidence for a rare type of stellar explosion, or supernova in the Milky Way. This intriguing object lies near the center of our galaxy in a supernova remnant called Sagittarius A East (Sgr A East). Chandra data revealed that Sgr A East may belong to a spec.

Interim Retinal Projection With Metalenses

Posted by in categories: augmented reality, biotech/medical, mobile phones, wearables

We can immediately supersede the Mojo Vision approach for retinal projection, with an interim projection system using metalenses. The Mojo Lens approach is to try to put everything, including the television screen, projection method and energy source onto one contact lens. With recent breakthroughs in scaling up the size of metalenses, an approach utilizing a combination of a contact metalens and a small pair of glasses can be utilized. This is emphatically not the Google Glass approach, which did not use modern metalenses. The system would work as follows:

1)Thin TV cameras are mounted on both sides of a pair of wearable glasses.

2)The images from these cameras are projected via projection metalenses in a narrow beam to the center of the pupils.

Orbital Construction: DARPA Pursues Plan for Robust Manufacturing in Space

Posted by in categories: government, space travel

As commercial space companies increase the cadence of successful rocket launches, access to space is becoming more routine for both government and commercial interests. But even with regular launches, modern rockets impose mass and volume limits on the payloads they deliver to orbit. This size constraint hinders developing and deploying large-scale, dynamic space systems that can adapt to changes in their environment or mission.
