Just for fun...

It's easy to forget that Kawasaki is much more than a motorcycle company. While its famously crazy motorcycles are certainly the most visible part of the brand outside Japan, Kawasaki Heavy Industries is a 124-year-old industrial colossus that brough

NuScale used advanced testing and modeling to determine the NuScale Power Module™ (NPM) can generate an additional 25 percent more power per module for a total of 77 MWe per module (gross), resulting in about 924 MWe for the flagship 12-module powe

Photos are starting to leak from SpaceX Starlink beta users, who are trying the satellite broadband service in remote areas for the first time. So far, the beta testing appears to be going far better than that of full self driving.

If you're on a secret military diving mission, chances are you don't want the enemy to see you getting into the water. That's where VICTA comes in, as it's a diver delivery boat that transforms into a submarine.

Scientists 3D-print microscopic Star Trek spaceship USS Voyager that 'swims' through liquids on its own

Water was reduced via reaction with non-equilibrium gadolinium-doped CeO2 that was previously in situ electrochemically deoxygenated by the sole application of microwaves. The microwave-driven reduction was identified by an instantaneous electrical c

When a patient receives a titanium artificial hip, there's always the risk of an infection developing at the interface between the metal and the bone. A new implant-coating process, however, is intended to greatly reduce that risk.

Part of this strategy involves using parachutes, a helicopter and a special grappling hook to collect the first stage as it drifts back down to the Earth, a technique it was able to successfully demonstrate using a dummy first stage earlier this year

SpaceX is now sending out email invitations for public beta testing of Starlink, the company's upcoming satellite internet service.

VSS Unity's next suborbital mission is targeted for Nov. 19 to Nov. 23.

Today we join Art from the Art and Bri Channel to discuss Fermentation!

The new Vector will leverage much of the design of the Vector-R rocket the original company had development, but with new engines and an initial focus on suborbital markets.

Why buy a separate keyboard for you Raspberry Pi when you can buy a computer that IS a Raspberry Pi?

Primary school walks on mechanical legs to new location so the building can be preserved in its entirety in Shanghai

Dutch company Pal-V has celebrated a milestone for its Liberty vehicle, which it describes as the world's first production-model flying car. A high-performance trike that converts into a gyrocopter, the Liberty has been street-approved in the EU.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) plans to expand extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography tools for its next-generation 3 nm (N3) node process.

NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) has confirmed, for the first time, water on the sunlit surface of the Moon. This means water could all over the moon and not just in permanently shadowed craters mostly near the north

Which upcoming electric 'Supertruck' will be more capable?

For centuries, humans have looked to space and the stars for answers. The fascination is more than philosophical - it's coupled with the need to solve problems here on Earth.

Ever since a huge wind destroyed our roof and left our rainwater harvesting system in shambles, we took a break from our house build to set up a new system by our compost station. It's an easy system to set up and has a 550 gallon capacity. This can

They successfully test the focal plane on the world's largest digital camera, which will eventually help explore the cosmos.

The British Navy tested having three commandos use Jet Packs to test boarding and capturing a patrol boat. The Gravity Industries Jet Suit has 5 engines, 1050 horsepower, and a top speed of over 85 mph. The suits cost about $440,000.

We all want faster smartphones and laptops, in smaller and smaller packages -- which means that heat dissipation becomes a vital part of their design.

Why not just conduct a randomized controlled trial to test whether masks work against COVID-19? Why assume such a draconian and dehumanizing mandate works as if it's an article of faith and create such division when we can discover which side is corr

Elon Musk is hoping to build a city on the Red Planet and knows the space colony will probably want to get online.

There is a breakthrough in experiments studying ultrafast processes. One of the most fundamental processes caused by the light-matter interaction where a light photon causes the ejection of an electron and the formation of anion.

In a truly remarkable feat of engineering, NASA's OSIRIS-REx has scooped a sample of soil from the surface of asteroid Bennu, as it hurtles through space some 205 million miles from Earth. The spacecraft successfully touched the asteroid Bennu on T

"A piece of primordial rock that has witnessed our solar system's entire history may now be ready to come home for generations of scientific discovery," said a NASA scientist of the U.S.'s first attempt to return an asteroid sample to Earth.

Today we share updates on our cows, and our plans for the herd next year.
