MIT researchers have developed an ultrasound sticker that can help identify signs of disease. More specifically, this postage stamp-sized sticker can be worn on the skin and detect liver / kidney failure as well as the progression of solid tumors.
You’ve seen transparent OLEDs, but did you know that the blue LED was notoriously hard to make due to p-type gallium nitride? That’s right, they had to figure out how to make a blue LED was that would continue to operate for hundreds of hours, without destroying itself.
Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the Milky Way’s galactic center, has been discovered to be spinning so fast that it’s warping the spacetime around it into a football shape. In the image above, we see a black sphere representing its event horizon, the point of no return from which nothing, not even light, can escape.
Self-proclaimed mad scientist Drake Anthony, better known as Styropyro on YouTube, built a long-range laser turret capable of burning holes in vehicles. To start things off, he purchased a 2kW fiber laser welder that is typically used to clean metal (strip off rust) and other objects.
Ever wonder what might happen if you put 4 million suns in a black hole over New York? If so, Epic Spaceman shows this hypothetical situation and explains how they work as well as their connection to galaxies.
Fermilab’s DUNE experiment will take place in these massive underground caverns, which were just recently excavated, in South Dakota. Scientists will use the particle accelerator to study the behavior of neutrinos in hopes of solving some of the biggest questions about our universe.
Finland-based AW-Energy has successfully deployed WaveRoller, a technology that converts ocean wave energy to electricity, in Portugal. This machine operates in near-shore areas at depths of between 8 to 20 meters and depending on tidal conditions, it’s mostly or fully submerged, anchored to the seabed.
