In mid-2021, the term “Web3” suddenly exploded into the public consciousness. As people scrambled to figure out what it was—cryptocurrencies? blockchain? nonfungible tokens?—venture capital firms were pouring money into new startups, over US $30 billion before the year was out. Meanwhile, Molly White, a software engineer, started reading up on…

This Mirror Reverses How Light Travels in Time

Light can reflect off mirrors, and sounds off surfaces. However, scientists have long theorized about time reflections, where a signal passing through a time “interface” would act like it was traveling backwards in time. Now a new study for the first time demonstrates time reflections with light waves. This discovery…

Metal detecting can be a fun hobby, or it can be a task to be completed in deadly earnest—if the buried treasure you’re searching for includes landmines and explosive remnants of war. This is an enormous, dangerous problem: Something like 12,000 square kilometers worldwide are essentially useless and uninhabitable because…

When it comes to developing new ways to fabricate microchips, the best approach may be not to rely on either human- or computer-developed designs alone, but instead a blending of the two. Such collaborations might reduce costs by half compared to depending on human experts alone, a new study finds.“While…

Bioprinting is the use of 3D printing techniques to fabricate tissues out of biomaterials. It is mainly used to create human tissue for research and for drug testing in vitro. When used to create a body part intended to be implanted into a patient, the part must first be printed…

Humans (Mostly) Love Trash Robots

16 Μαρτίου 2023 by paulkokos

paulkokos

My favorite approach to human-robot interaction is minimalism. I’ve met a lot of robots, and some of the ones that have most effectively captured my heart are those that express themselves through their fundamental simplicity and purity of purpose. What’s great about simple, purpose-driven robots is that they encourage humans…
