Liquid water “lakes” on Mars may just be frozen clay, say new studies

A few years ago astronomers announced the incredible discovery of lakes of liquid water on Mars, buried beneath the ice cap at the south pole. But sadly, a trio of new papers refutes the claim, with new experiments suggesting that the “water” signal wa… Continue reading Liquid water “lakes” on Mars may just be frozen clay, say new studies

Tasting experts sample wine aged for a year in space

If you’ve ever wondered what would happen to wine aged for a year in space then wonder no more. A recent event in France conducted the first ever tasting of “space wine”, with one expert describing it as “more evolved” than its similarly aged earthboun… Continue reading Tasting experts sample wine aged for a year in space

Hybrid 3D printing technique produces liquid-filled objects

Ordinarily, if you want to make a 3D-printed liquid-filled object, you have to inject the liquid after the object has been printed. A new process, however, allows such items to be printed all in one step – and the technology could have some valuable ap… Continue reading Hybrid 3D printing technique produces liquid-filled objects

Berkeley Labs creates first fully magnetic liquids

Magnets as we know them are always solid, but the closest thing we have to a magnetic liquid is a class called of liquids called ferrofluids. Made up of iron-oxide particles suspended in liquids, these materials are only magnetic temporarily,… Continue reading Berkeley Labs creates first fully magnetic liquids

Extreme Pi Overclocking With Mineral Oil

Liquid cooling is a popular way to get a bit of extra performance out of your computer. Usually this is done in desktops, where a special heat sink with copper tubing is glued to the CPU, and the copper tubes are plumbed to a radiator. If you want dive deeper into the world of liquid cooling, you can alternatively submerge your entire computer in a bath of mineral oil like [Timm] has done.

The computer in question here is a Raspberry Pi, and it’s being housed in a purpose-built laser cut acrylic case full of mineral oil. As a SoC, …read more
