Bigelow Space stations
NASA currently is pushing forward plans for a cislunar base that is similar in size to the Skylab space station of the 1970s.
Three layers of graphene reveals a new kind of magnet
However, in graphene -- one atom thick graphite -- the density of electrons is much smaller and can be changed by making a transistor. As a result of the low density of electrons the wave nature of electrons, as described by quantum mechanics, is eas
Game changing 3D printers for low cost metal parts
A startup will soon launch game changing 3-D printers that can fabricate metal parts cheaply and quickly enough to make the technology practical for widespread use in product design and manufacturing.
Angela Belcher: Using nature to grow batteries
Inspired by an abalone shell, Angela Belcher programs viruses to make elegant nanoscale structures that humans can use. Selecting for high-performing genes through directed evolution, she's produced viruses that can construct powerful new batteries,
How Space Tourists Will Benefit From No Government Regulation
Space tourism industry has a chance to show benefits of less regulation
If space truly is the final frontier, then it won't be long until the first pioneers are making the journey, as several companies race to take paying passengers out of the Ear
2 tesla Magnetic Shield placed at Mars Lagrange point...
An inflatable structure(s) can generate a magnetic dipole field at a level of perhaps 1 or 2 Tesla (or 10,000 to 20,000 Gauss) as an active shield against the solar wind and allow the Martian atmosphere to thicken overtime.
Whose is bigger? How all the Mars-bound rockets stack up
Like everything else in the 1960s, NASA's Saturn V rocket set a mark for extreme. At 363 feet tall, with 7.5 million pounds of liftoff thrust, it lifted six moon-bound missions into space. Retired in 1973, it remains the tallest, heaviest, and most
Elon Musks 'Neural Lace' To 'Achieve Symbiosis With Machines'
Transhumans believe they will escape the laws of sin and death, ultimately merging with machines and computers to live forever. Musk's plan is an attempt to co-opt Artificial Intelligence by merging with it and to avoid being destroyed by it. ? T
