NASA is looking for creative minds to help design a crucial part of their rocket system. They have a challenge for anyone who thinks they can create a better ejection system for their SPEED project. SPEED is a big deal because it helps NASA test how safe and stable their rockets are when they come b
Blockchain technology has grown fast since Bitcoin came out. It's now used in many areas like banking, supply chains, and even the Internet of Things. But with more users, there's a mix of good and bad transactions. This makes it hard to keep trust in the system. Researchers have come up with a sma
Cursor, the company behind a popular AI coding app, is making waves in the tech world. It recently bought Koala, a startup that makes AI-powered tools for managing customer relationships. This move is part of Cursor's plan to grow and compete with big players like Microsoft's GitHub Copilot. Cursor
Epilepsy is a common condition, yet many teachers feel unprepared to handle it in the classroom. This can lead to students with epilepsy missing out on learning and feeling left out. A recent study set out to change that by creating a clear, practical guide for teachers. The study focused on what t
Scientists have created a new tool to help clean up dirty water. They made special foam with tiny bits of graphene and a mix of nickel and cobalt. This foam can help break down a harmful chemical called 2, 3-dichlorophenol. The foam is put into a tube, and water flows through it. The foam uses light
Molly White, known for her work on Web3 technologies and her Citation Needed newsletter, shares her tech preferences and reading habits. She uses a Pixel 7, which she considers relatively new for her, as she tends to use devices until they are no longer functional. Her phone wallpaper is a picture o
The Detroit Lions kicked off their training camp with a bit of bad luck. On Sunday, cornerback Ennis Rakestraw had to exit practice early due to a chest injury. The team is still figuring out how serious it is. This isn't Rakestraw's first run-in with injuries. Last season, as a second-round pick,
Researchers have found that the time of day can make a big difference in how badly noise hurts your hearing. They looked at cells in the inner ear and found that immune cells called macrophages play a big role in this. When the ear is exposed to loud noises, these macrophages get more active, espec
Inside every cell, DNA is packed tightly, like a long, tangled thread. This packing is not random. It's crucial for how our genes work and how cells divide. Scientists have long debated how DNA folds up. Some think it's like a ball of yarn, while others believe it forms loops. Recent research has g
Metal 3D printing is a game-changer. It constructs objects layer by layer from a digital blueprint. The melt pool, a hot, liquid area, is crucial for the final product's quality. Monitoring this pool helps in identifying flaws and predicting how the material will act. Different 3D printers use vari
