New Microscope Technology May Help Spot Elusive Neutrinos
The advent of the electron microscope has helped prove beyond a doubt the existence of electrons, protons and neutrons. What about subatomic particles though? They are even smaller and require further advancements in technology to be able to detect them. The team at MIT does it again and here is an excerpt from their discovery:…
Hoverboard demonstration at a skate park…is this for real?
This is a pretty cool experimental hoverboard. The very well known Hendo Board uses the principle of Lenz’s law and uses magnetic repulsion and only works on a metallic surface. What is neat about this hoverboard is is works on concrete. Even if it isn’t as smooth as the other, it literally can work on…
Guy makes a light saber at home with a real laser…
Ok, this isn’t just a cool 3d printed lightsaber handle (which are rad btw) but an actual lightsaber with a laser coming out of the end. This is insane and needless to say, do not try this at home or without the supervision of a professional. Here is a brief intro to this video by…
