A pinwheel sits in an aquarium to simulate an offshore wind turbine. Bubbles come up from the "seabed" to encircle it to demonstrate a bubble curtain with an image of a sound waveform overlaid with the video to show the sound confined to the area within the bubble curtain.

Since sound is the primary sense used by most ocean life, disruptions to the natural noise levels in the ocean from human activities can be particularly problematic for marine life. …read more Continue reading Keeping the Noise Down Under the Sea→

3D Printed Aerospike was Designed by AI

A 3D printed copper aerospike engine cutaway showing the intricate, organic-looking channels inside. It is vaguely reminiscent of a human torso and lungs.

We’re still in the early days of generatively-designed objects, but when combined with the capabilities of 3D printing, we’re already seeing some interesting results. One example is this new copper …read more Continue reading 3D Printed Aerospike was Designed by AI→
