2022-09-01 13:00:06 The Neutron reusable rocket

Rocket Lab has demonstrated its vision for the rockets of the future.

According to the head of the company, Peter Beck, this is what rockets of 2050 will look like. And they are building them now.

The 40-meter Neutron is created as a competitive analogue of the Falcon 9 from SpaceX, and is able to lift cargoes weighing 8-15 tons into near-Earth orbit.

Although he is inferior to the brainchild of Elon Musk on carrying capacity (Falcon 9 can take on board 15.5 tons of payload), but the capabilities, according to the presentation, may well argue for a place in the space industry. Открыть/Комментировать

A spherical magnet hangs 1 cm from the watch and rotates in a circle to tell the time.

It does this thanks to the electromagnetic coils and Hall sensors installed inside. Открыть/Комментировать

An Australian company has developed a stretch film from potato waste. It decomposes completely into carbon and water within 180 days and leaves no toxic substances.

The film container is also environmentally friendly. It is made from 33 recycled plastic bottles. The stretch film is already on sale in the USA. Открыть/Комментировать

2022-08-30 19:00:05 Baidu announced the release of smart fitness mirrors

Baidu Smart Fitness Mirror, is capable of performing the functions of an individual fitness trainer.

In the off state the device does not differ from the standard household mirror. 43" IPS matrix, built under the mirror surface.

Baidu's smart mirror also connects a virtual fitness trainer, equipped with artificial intelligence and real-time exercise guidance.

The Baidu smart fitness mirror features a customizable dynamic sensor that improves image quality by 40% in low-light conditions and supports an ultra-wide-angle viewing angle of 144 degrees.

Powered by an 8-cor AI processor with 3 TOPS processing power. The mirror sensors are capable of recognizing human body movements and matching them to standard positions, correcting the user's actions if necessary.

The base model Baidu Smart Fitness Mirror at $662, and a large number of options 740 $. Открыть/Комментировать

2022-08-29 19:00:29 General Motors is introducing AI into the vehicle inspection process

The automaker is investing in an Israeli startup, UVeye, which makes vehicle diagnostic systems that use sensors and artificial intelligence to quickly identify damaged vehicles.

UVeye's technology is similar to an X-ray personal inspection scanner at an airport. A car drives through the scanner and within minutes, service providers get a detailed report on everything that's wrong with the car, down to the tire pressure. The UVeye system uses artificial intelligence, machine learning and high-definition cameras.

GM says UVeye technology will be available at 4,000 dealerships. Открыть/Комментировать

2022-08-29 16:00:08 Elios 3 is a stunning, innovative data collection machine

Quickly turn asset data into digital information with Elios 3, the first indoor mapping and inspection drone offering an unmatched combination of intelligence, versatility and stability.

Relying on LiDAR's computer vision and mapping capabilities, Elios 3 is a versatile indoor drone that opens the door to a world where systematic inspections don't require months of training, reports are created intuitively on a 3D model of your asset, and situational awareness is built into the pilot application.

2022-08-29 13:40:35 Engineers at the Korea Atomic Energy Institute have created a hoverboard

Engineers at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute in Korea have created a hoverboard that is slightly larger than a longboard.

It is equipped with a pair of fans that pump air into the cushion under the board and make it rise above the ground.

In addition, engineers created a second prototype, which consists of two halves connected by a hinge mechanism and able to rotate relative to each other.

The engineers showed another use for the hoverboard. They suggested using it as a delivery robot, which can be loaded with boxes of goods and sent to the customer's home. Apparently, though, the hoverboard is not yet equipped with sensors for navigation, so it can be seen as a demonstration of carrying capacity, rather than a real delivery method.

2022-08-28 19:00:02 LeviPrint technology allows you to control the levitation of objects

Scientists from the State University of Navarra have developed LeviPrint system — a non-contact 3D-designer that manipulates parts with the help of acoustic waves.

The development can help in the field of 3D-printing. The manipulator has a dispenser of glue that cures under the influence of ultraviolet light emitted by the machine, so the objects do not come into contact with anything, they do not get dirty.

Ultrasonic waves can pass through fabrics, meshes and other materials. With this method, you can build a ship inside a bottle. Открыть/Комментировать
