A new laser-pointing system could help CubeSats downlink data at much higher rates using fewer onboard resources. The system consists of a small, steerable mirror that directs the laser at the ground-based receiver. Over the last two decades, more...
A chess engine usually analyzes thousands of outcomes before making an efficient move. Since the hardware and programming techniques are getting better year by year, chess engines are becoming more intelligent. Modern engines are more selective and...
A new theory says that Big Bang was a starting point of an anti-universe, a mirror image of the present universe. In anti-universe, time flows in the opposite direction and antimatter dominates. The Big Bang cosmology describes the history and...
Physicists make precise replicas of asteroids and blast them with a powerful laser beam. It took 500 joules of energy to blast a 10-millimeter wide replica. If Earth collides with a large asteroid, its impact would be far greater than other...
PERDIX is a new, open-source tool for converting free-from drawings into 2D DNA structures. It takes a CAD file as input and transforms it into DNA structure, ranging from 10 to 100 nm in size. These synthetic DNA structures can have several...
If you want to convert 2D images into 3D without putting a lot of effort, there are dozens of tools available on the internet. Most of them add the binocular disparity depth cue to digital picture to give the brain a 3D illusion. We are listing some...
Engineers play an important role in the development of any society. Their innovations and efforts towards new technology help make our life more enjoyable and comfortable. Since that’s the case, good engineers are always in demand, which leads...
Rocket propulsion is a fascinating technology. A technology that generates enough thrust to move an aircraft through the air. But do you know the rocket technology was invented by the Chinese in the 13th century? Of course, rockets were then not...
Researchers develop an evolutionary algorithm to analyze different nanoparticle compositions. Some stable nanoparticles exhibit strange chemical compositions in normal conditions, whereas for macro objects, this usually happens in extreme...
Neuroscientists develop a new method, called SHIELD, to visualize DNA, proteins and other molecules. It can trace connections between neurons in the brain at single-cell resolution without damaging tissue. Detailed understanding of biological...
A feasibility study proposes that the laser and telescope technology on earth could be used as a beacon to attract the attention of aliens. One needs to direct 1- to 2-megawatt laser through a 30- to 45-meter telescope into space. The same laser...
Test data generation is the process of creating a set of data for testing a software application. It is quite a complex problem and many solutions have come forth, most of them are limited to toy programs. We could use the actual data that has been...
