In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have unraveled an anti-gravity mystery that seemingly defied the norms of classical physics, potentially paving the way for revolutionary advancements in magnetic levitation technology. The breakthrough centers on a unique form of magnetic levitation, first demonstrated in 2021 by Turkish scientist Hamdi Ucar, an electronics engineer from Göksal Aeronautics in Turkey.
We are entering into the next phase of the digital technology revolution. Passive consumption is no longer cutting it. We need to be active and critical users. [Amish communities] designate a few community members as nerds who can try out a technology and report back on how it changed their families and their focus. The…
This year’s selectees range from a sample return from the surface of Venus, a fixed-wing aircraft for Mars, a swarm of probes to travel to Proxima Centauri and explore its system of exoplanets, and more. One of the more eye-catching is the Mars Aerial and Ground Global Intelligent Explorer (MAGGIE) proposed by Ge-Cheng Zha, a Professor of Aerodynamics at…
Brooks isn’t saying the AI industry is doomed, mind you, but that such ambitious technological advancements take time — and a lot of it. Whether the industry’s financial backers are ready to hunk down and play the long game, though, is more dubious. https://futurism.com/the-byte/robotics-expert-ai-hype-reality-check
I have learned so so much from watching Ben Eaters videos…
