NASA has taken cat videos to a whole new level, with its Psyche Deep Space Optical Communications experiment beaming a 15-second high-definition clip of a playful tabby across 19 million miles (31 million km) of space to Earth.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading NASA beams cute cat video back to Earth from deep space
You wouldn’t think that shaking something in just the right way would be the recipe for creating laser light, but as [Les Wright] explains in his new video, that’s pretty …read more Continue reading Homemade Raman Laser is Shaken, Not Stirred
Diamond is a promising material for data storage, and now scientists have demonstrated a new way to cram even more data onto it, down to a single atom. The technique bypasses a physical limit by writing data to the same spots in different-colored light… Continue reading Diamond data storage breakthrough writes and rewrites down to single atom
Sure, it does less than originally promised, but hey — at least it’s more expensive. That about sums up Tesla fans’ feelings after the long-awaited Cybertruck reveal at the Texas …read more Continue reading Hackaday Links: December 3, 2023
ViewSonic has announced a new compact projector called the M10 that features a triple laser light source, offers Full HD visuals with support for HDR/HLG content, and comes with built-in Harman Kardon sound.Continue ReadingCategory: Home Entertainment,… Continue reading Compact 1080p projector fires three lasers for color-rich viewing
The eyes are more than windows to the soul; they are also windows to detecting traumatic brain injury, thanks to researchers at the University of Birmingham who have developed a non-invasive, handheld device that shines a safe laser into the eye to det… Continue reading Eye-safe laser device provides rapid, on-site diagnosis of concussion
The USA has only two accelerators that can produce 10 billion electron-volt particle beams, and they’re each about 1.9 miles (3 km) long. “We can now reach those energies in 10 cm (4 inches),” said the CEO of TAU Systems, which has built an ultra-compa… Continue reading Ultra-compact particle accelerator does a mile’s work with four inches
NASA’s Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) unit aboard the Psyche spacecraft has switched on, establishing a super-speed laser data link at a distance of 10 million miles (16 million km), or 40 times the distance from the Earth to the Moon.Continu… Continue reading NASA tests laser communications across 10 million miles of space
Most of us will have at some point have bought a long power cable to charge the bike on the deck, but [Slava G. Turyshev] has a slightly more ambitious …read more Continue reading Using Gravitational Lensing To Transmit Power And Detect Aliens
A team of researchers led by the University of Cambridge has developed a new technique that uses high-energy lasers to fine tune the properties of 3D-printed metal without compromising the complex shapes it forms.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, Sc… Continue reading Lasers allow fine-tuning of 3D-printed metals without “heating & beating”
