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
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
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
Scientists have created a new tool to detect tiny changes in our bodies. This tool, called a biosensor, can find very small amounts of a harmful chemical called bisphenol A (BPA). BPA is found in many plastics and can cause problems in our bodies. The biosensor uses special materials called SrTiO3
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
Robots are now helping doctors fix hernias. This is big news because it means less pain and faster healing for patients. But not all robot techniques are the same. Three main methods are being used: rTAPP, rRives, and rTARUP. Each has its own pros and cons. A big study looked at these methods. It c
Insulin resistance is a big deal. It messes with how our bodies handle glucose, leading to a bunch of health issues like high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and even heart problems. For many people, this resistance is a precursor to type 2 diabetes, often lingering for years before diagnosis. So,
The world is on the hunt for clean energy. Solar power is a big part of this. But there is a new kid on the block: dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). These are different from the usual silicon solar panels. They use dyes to capture sunlight. And guess what? These dyes can come from nature. Nature
ECMO, or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, is a lifesaver for kids with severe breathing problems. It's like a temporary lung, giving their own lungs a break to heal. Doctors are always learning more about how to use it best. New tech and better ways to manage ECMO are changing how doctors treat
Tesla's Robotaxi service is now being tested in Austin, offering a glimpse into the future of autonomous driving. The experience is mostly smooth, but there are some issues to work out. The Robotaxi uses only cameras and neural networks to navigate, which is different from other self-driving cars.
