China’s superfast bullet train network shows how antiquated the U.S. railway system truly is
China is rapidly outpacing the U.S. in many ways. The most glaring comparison involves their respective railway systems. A recent Business Insider article highlights the Chinese high-speed railway, which is the largest in the world with some of the fastest bullet trains in service, while the American equivalent is all but nonexistent. There are currently 15,500 […]

Engineers develop a “soft robot” that uses responsive materials to swim through water
American researchers presented the very first swimming robots that do not need motors, servos, or a supply of power for propulsion. In a Science Daily article, the soft robots are made of responsive materials that change their shape whenever the temperature shifts. The regular deforming and reforming of their materials allow the robots to paddle […]

Scientists have figured out how to project 3D images into thin air, Star Wars style
Scientists are coming close to realizing that iconic 3D hologram scene from the movie Star Wars, reported a Daily Mail article. And instead of projected light, they’re controlling dust-sized particles to make 3D imagery that promises to do one better than current holographic technology. Published in the science journal Nature, the study (aptly titled “The […]

MIT researchers develop a machine that manipulates hypnagogia, the state between wakefulness and sleep
As we move from sharp awareness to restful sleep, we undergo hypnagogia, a state where we experience small but surreal dreams that escape our recollection when we wake up. In a Motherboard article, an MIT team reported how they developed a device that can access this dreamland. MIT Media Lab researcher Adam Horowitz led the efforts to create Dormio, […]

Scientists create superionic ice – an ice 60x denser than ordinary water ice and forms at temperatures almost as hot as the sun
Imagine ice that is simultaneously a solid and a liquid, has 60 times the density of normal ice, and capable of forming on the burning surface of the sun. It is called “superionic ice,” an article in Space.com states, and California-based researchers have just created it. This previously theoretical form of ice was first conceived […]

Study suggests electrically charging airplanes to avoid lightning strikes by repelling the energy
We already fight wildfires with controlled burns, so why not do the same with lightning and electricity? Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are doing just that – developing a device that electrically charges an aircraft to avoid lightning, reported a ScienceDaily article. There’s no commercial aircraft in the world that hasn’t been struck by […]

Future missions to Mars being made to detect amino acids
The soil on Mars is filled with chemical compounds that make short work of organic compounds. Yet NASA remains hopeful about finding signs of life on the Red Planet, so the agency developed an experiment for a future Mars mission that can detect amino acids, an article in Space.com stated. Amino acids are considered to […]

The radical plan to design a starship out of hollowed out asteroids
Dutch-based researchers have a radical plan for any near-Earth asteroid that can be hollowed out by asteroid miners. They are going to turn it into a huge starship that can travel between stars, an article in the Daily Mail states. This generational ship would be big enough to hold entire generations of crew and passengers […]
