This site has looked at a list of technologies for what I call the Mundane Singularity. Technological Singularity and Transhumanism are often criticized because the primary technologies that justify it are Molecular Nanotechnology and greater than human intelligence general AI, which some believe are not possible. Much of the projected benefits of a technological singularity …
A simple, scalable method of making strong, stretchable graphene oxide fibers that are easily scrolled into yarns and have strengths approaching that of Kevlar is possible, according to Penn State and Shinshu University, Japan, researchers. “We found this graphene oxide fiber was very strong, much better than other carbon fibers,” said Mauricio Terrones, professor of …
John Laumer (at Treehugger) contacted Russ George, our local iron man, about Zubrin’s story and asked for his [Russ’] comments about the his latest iron seeding project off British Columbia, which, it turns out, had truly amazing, positive impact – from a mere 120 tones of iron sulfide, very thinly applied over an area of …

A new floating city designed by AT Design Office and the Chinese construction firm CCCC, is slated to begin development on a pilot scale next year. “When the client came to us and talked about this project, I couldn’t believe it was true until I saw their technology,” says Anthony Phan, an architect at AT …
In October, a team reported a record 100-gigabit-per-second wireless data transmission using a near terahertz wavelength (237.5 Ghz). The researchers believe that this approach provides a path to scale wireless communications to Terabit per second rates over distances of over 1 km. Terabit per second communication for the last mile. The last mile is the …
