This month scientists conducted the most powerful test ever of the CERN supercollider at 13TEV.  Btw that equates to 13,000,000,000,000 electronvolts.  It is now a week later and the scientists answer some questions on this unprecedented experiment.  Here is a bit of background on things: Why are you doing this and what makes it important?…

Is this for real a laser that can make plasma hotter than the sun??  Here is more from The Los Alamos Lab: Invisible infrared light from the 200-trillion watt Trident Laser enters from the bottom to interact with a one-micrometer thick foil target in the center of the photo. The laser pulse produces a plasma…

What will transportation look like in the future?  Will there be more fuel efficient and aerodynamic options all around?  Will they save people time and money or are they more recreational?  This video is really cool and lists 10 of the top futuristic transportation options and they are not as far off as you might…

Currently billionaires are known to have megayachts and believe it or not, many are demanding even bigger and more futuristic yachts.  This article sheds some light on what some big yachting industry folks are seeing: Megayacht owners are pushing for bigger and more extravagant ships. Combined with the competition that comes with such an obvious…

Here is a really cool video that examines our future and some of the various technoligies effecting us: Nanotechnology, Quantum Computers, Cyborg Anthropology a future tech documentary.  All things we see are made up of atoms. The study of, and the ability to control, those atoms and molecules is through the field of nanoscience and…

Many are saying 3D printing is the biggest thing since the internet.  And sites like thingiverse and companies like Stratasys and Xone have made incredible strides with their technologies.  Now there is a cool printer that configures things a bit differently.  Here is a brief intro about the video and their process: This new 3D…

The internet has changed the world forever.  One of the first commercial services was Prodigy and then of course AOL with it’s trademark dial tone.  Now we are well into mobile adoption and social media, and 3D printing has emerged as an extremely disruptive technology.  We have surpassed making cool figurines at home to the…

Uhhh…This band plays the imperial march on stage with humongous tesla coils.  Then in the middle of the stage is someone inside a metal cube breakdancing.  There’s some stuff you just can’t make up.  This is extremely interesting and one of the most far out things I’ve seen in a long time.  Many are fans…

This can’t be can it?  We just started with 3D printing and it’s not entirely mass adopted yet.  Then, some people on the internets 😉 have spoken about 4D printing which involves objects that actually change shape, hence the 4th dimension being time in regards to shape.  Now Autodesk representative Jesse Harrington Au, Autodesk’s Maker…

Mostly we think of matter as solid, liquid, gas or plasma.  And if we manufacture objects, or change the temperature etc. of matter it obviously changes shape.  So what is programmable matter? What if you could fax someone a real, three-dimensional object? The solution might come in the form of programmable matter – a material…

Ok have you heard of the proposed hyperloop from LA to Norther California?  Have you heard about Lenz’s law, frictionless trains and the like?  Well this video is for you.  It explores some of the most outside the box ideas and concepts in terms of future transportation and what it might look like.  Elements such…

Ok are you ready for 4D printing?  How about faxing someone…a thing?!  That would involve programmable matter and is in the domain of this exciting new era.  Skylar Tibbits gives a cool talk on the future of 4D printing and what it might look like.  Sites like thingiverse allow you to upload 3D blueprints for…
