posted by newtboyMagnetohydrodynamic thrust uses no moving parts in order to accelerate water. It has been known for half a century, but it may be possible that we're only now beginning to explore it for use in Marine... continue reading
posted by newtboyThe F-15 was born from the difficult lessons learned during the Vietnam War. In the late 1950s, Air Force planners were confident that the advent of powerful new radars and long-range air-to-air missiles... continue reading
posted by eric3579From Youtube, "Humans are proud of a lot of things, from particle accelerators, to poetry to pokemon. All of them made possible because of something humans value extremely highly: intelligence."
posted by w1ndexThe frozen continent of Antarctica contains the vast majority of all freshwater on Earth. Now that ice is melting at an accelerating rate, in part because of climate change. What does this transformation... continue reading
posted by newtboyWith the large hadron collider running out of places to look for clues to a deeper theory of physics, we need a bigger particle accelerator. We have one - the galaxy.
posted by w1ndexThis video is about using particle accelerators as part of the solar panel silicon wafer manufacturing process. The accelerators embed protons into the wafer crystals, allowing them to break and separate... continue reading
posted by newtboyIt takes less acceleration to get to other stars than our own sun. Crazy, huh?

posted by Aard VarkToo bad there are so many who can't get their heads around the facts. YouTube: Bill Nye boils down the basic facts surrounding climate change, and why the rate at which our planet is changing is so important
posted by PlayhousePalsSay what? YouTube: How can just two rules of Einstein's 1905 theory of special relativity lead to seemingly paradoxical changes in the perception of time?
posted by PlayhousePalsIn a multi-part series with the popular astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, Bill explores a variety of topics, including the nature of an expanding, accelerating universe (and how it might end), the difference... continue reading
