Impact-absorbing DCLR8 is like a rear crumple zone for helmets

Although helmets are required for many sports, Canadian materials engineering technologist Albert Beyer believes that they don’t provide enough protection to the back of the head. His solution to that problem is a “crumple zone for helmets” known as th… Continue reading Impact-absorbing DCLR8 is like a rear crumple zone for helmets

Bacteria-based coating protects distillery buildings from the elements

Bacteria often get a bad rap, but in many cases they’re helpful little critters. Engineers have now developed a protective coating for buildings that’s loaded with bacteria, which absorb CO2 to produce a barrier against erosion by the elements.Continue… Continue reading Bacteria-based coating protects distillery buildings from the elements

Engineers at ETH Zurich have developed a versatile new material that should help in the ongoing battle against corrosion for buildings and vehicles. The polymer coating not only protects against corrosion, but highlights cracks as they form, automatica… Continue reading New anti-corrosion polymer highlights damage, self-heals and is recyclable

New space mission will watch for hazardous asteroids hidden by the Sun

Although astronomers are tracking most of the largest and deadliest asteroids in our solar system, there’s one glaring blindspot in the sky – the vicinity of the Sun. Thankfully, ESA plans to plug the gap soon with NEOMIR, a mission that will give us a… Continue reading New space mission will watch for hazardous asteroids hidden by the Sun

Recommended way to merge a security feature with the rest of the software? [closed]

I am searching for the best way to merge two parts of software together, so it would be as hard as possible to separate them again through reverse engineering.
At the moment are both parts python, but open minded for anything else.
