DARPA is and has been spending about$70-80 million per year on nano, quantum and material technology. DARPA is looking at the development and assembly of advanced nanoscale and bio-molecular materials, devices, and electronics for DoD applications that greatly enhance soldier awareness, capability, security, and survivability, such as materials with increased strength-to-weight ratio and ultra-low size, …
Mars has distinct polar ice caps, but Mars also has belts of glaciers at its central latitudes in both the southern and northern hemispheres. A thick layer of dust covers the glaciers, so they appear as surface of the ground, but radar measurements show that underneath the dust there are glaciers composed of frozen water. …
The Carnival of Nuclear Energy 238 is up at Neutron Bytes Brave New Climate – If the world was to almost triple nuclear power capacity from 337 GW today to 983 GW by 2030, as estimated by WNA assuming all planned and proposed plants were operable by then, this would only reduce coal consumption by …
Here is follow up news on various DARPA brain related projects In May, Nextbigfuture reported that DARPA had $70 million in funding a project for brain implants for emotional mind control. DARPA has a $79.8 million ElectRx project that aims to explore neuromodulation of organ functions to help the human body heal itself. DARPA is …
A recent demonstration involving two trucks tethered by computer control shows how automation and vehicle-to-vehicle communication are creeping onto the roads. A pair of trucks convoying 10 meters apart on Interstate 80 just outside Reno, Nevada, might seem like an unusual sight—not to mention unsafe. But the two trucks doing this a couple of weeks …
We are now halfway from 1990 to 2038. 1990 Important events of 1990 include the Reunification of Germany, the separation of Namibia from South Africa, Desert Shield, the formal beginning of the Human Genome Project (finished in 2003), the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope, and the Baltic states declaring independence from the Soviet Union. …
GE researchers describe how they built their breakthrough magnetic refrigeration system. The technology, which is projected to be 20 percent more efficient than current refrigeration systems, could be inside your fridge by the end of the decade. It is using water based fluid to transfer heat, not chemical refrigerants. That significantly lowers any harm to …
Google’s Quantum AI lab had a lengthy post that describes their thinking on the DWave Adiabatic quantum annealing system after recent speed tests against optimized classical systems. UPDATE – Geordie Rose, CTO of DWave, commented. This response had nothing to do with DWave — it’s just an update on how Google feels about their experience …
The 2015 Ford F150 debuted Monday with an aluminum body at the Detroit Auto Show, weighing 700 pounds less than the old one. This would be 12% lower weight. Ford Chief Operating Officer Mark Fields acknowledged that working with aluminum was more expensive than steel. Ford earns about $11,000 on a pickup truck sale compared …
The Carnival of Space 333 is up at Dear Astronomer. Universe Today – ESA’s Gaia Mission Launches to Map the Milky Way The Meridiani Journal – Has the first exomoon been found? Nextbigfuture – On Saturday, a Chinese lunar probe made the first soft landing anyone’s made on the moon since 1976. The Chang’e-3 probe …
