We all know the successes of the Voyager that just recently left the heliosphere since its first launch in 1977, and now a similar 2,000 pound spacecraft nicknamed Curiosity–very fitting for scientists’ magnetization towards the planet Mars and the abundance of information its resources–is on its way to…
It’s not easy getting to Mars. I mean, the planet’s nearly 35 million miles away, it’s not like it’s a quick 224,000 mile trip to the moon (either way, NASA makes it all seem like a breeze). But regardless of the struggle, the United States…
OK, OK. We’ve all been dreaming about this since 1993 when Jurassic Park first came out. Well, sort of. An Aussie man (who is also known as a “potentially crazed mad scientist”) Clive Palmer said he refuses to give any specific details, but he wants to…
This is totally disgusting-sounding, but still worth knowing about. Scientists have been messing around with the heart cells of a rat, experimenting and practicing in hopes to eventually use the same techniques to perfect engineering human organs. They are calling it the “Frankenstein” jellyfish–meaning that by…
At UCLA they’ve been busy working on new types of solar energy concepts. This time: a transparent solar cell that feeds off infrared rays instead of visible light. The manufacturing process for this chip is actually cheaper than the normal process for solar energy devices,…
Sushi like you’ve never experienced, probably. At the Robot Restaurant in Shinjuku not only do you get to pick from all your favorite Japanese eats, but you’ll get to do so while watching some pretty crazy (and expensive!) entertainment. For one, your server is a Valkyrie…
Pluto’s 5th and largest moon Chardon was discovered back in 1978, and now a team of astronomers are happy to announce the recent findings of Pluto’s 5th moon: P5. Via a series of images captured with the Hubble telescope, the discovery continues a pattern that…
Nothing excites us more than a breakthrough in technology or a new scientific discovery, and we’re surprised this particular news hasn’t been more talked about as of late: the Voyager 1 craft that took off back in 1977 has officially traveled 11.1 billion miles away…
Microsoft continues to impress us over and over again since their unleashing of the Windows Phone at CES, and now after another period of waiting for their next announcement, at Microsoft’s press event today in LA they proudly unveiled their tablet “that’s a unique expression of entertainment…
Normally mosquitoes are the enemy; we are constantly thinking of ways to keep those suckers as far away from us as possible. But in the United States we’re pretty lucky when it comes to the gnat-like blood-suckers that won’t leave us alone, because most of…
