Have you ever wondered who scientists have the ability to view individual atoms? Well you are about to get an awesome science lesson via the YouTube show Reactions, and maybe get a little insight yourself into the process. (H/T to LaughingSquid)
What would video games be without rivalries? Mario without a Bowser to bring down would only be half as fun. Link without a Ganon would be like a day without sunshine. The point being, rivalries in video games help make them what they are and definitely factor in to why we love certain franchises as […]
Researchers at Columbia University have produced a video camera that uses no battery or mains power. Instead it powers itself using the very light it is capturing for the images. In the first working model, the video is pretty crappy. However, the researchers say the principle could be developed to produce a camera that can […]
The benefits of 3D printing are almost too impressive and massive for us to even properly address yet. The possibilities with this tech is limitless, and the directions it is going show great promise. But here is an angle you probably have never heard before, literally. Remember how the Winamp player would make cool visualizations […]
The US government says China is using the world’s largest supercomputer for nuclear-related activities. It’s banned Intel from supplying chips to expand Tianhe-2’s capabilities. The computer has been listed as the world’s fastest since June 2013 when it took top spot on the bi-annual TOP500 list. Housed at the National Supercomputing Center in Guanghzhou, it’s […]
Tron was a movie that was well ahead of its time. Dealing with A.I and the idea of a creator actually ending up as a sentient being within his own program. It was nerdtastic, and instilled in many of us geeks a love for programming, coding, and gaming in general (which some of us already […]
Dominic Wilcox is a man quite unlike any other. A genius who thinks so far outside the box he can no longer tell you the shape of on. Wilcox invents things that cause people to look at him, and question their own version of reality for a minute. Some people are born with brains that […]
We finally have it, people. A computer so small it is comparative in size to a grain of rice. But do not let the size of the M^3 (real name: Michigan Micro Mote) fool you. It is completely capable of taking pictures and reading temps, among other things. It was created by the folks over […]
3D printing already allows replicator machines, but they aren’t exactly pocket-sized. Now researchers believe it could be possible to scan an object for 3D printing using a smartphone camera. Researchers at the California Institute of Technology have produced a proof-of-concept camera chip that’s considerably less than a millimeter square. If successfully developed and built into […]
Sort of speaks for itself, for those who did not get the see the lovely blood moon this past weekend, here is a version of it in real time, shot by N.A.S.A. Still pretty dang cool. Did seem like it was in an awful hurry for an eclipse, though. [Via Laughing Squid]
