Rolls-Royce has released their vision of the future of shipping, which will see the continued evolution of that ongoing trend toward automation and “unmanned autonomy.”
On Tuesday, Rolls-Royce —more famous for its luxury cars than its maritime contributions—rolled out a slick new video detailing a number of projected innovations in containerized shipping. The company hopes to someday make these innovations a reality, and if they do, it will mean a revolution in the way we ship goods across the seas.

Posted by Klaus Baldauf in categories: 3D printing, education, habitats, space
Outer space is about to get its first pop-up retail shop.
Lowe’s, the home-improvement store, has teamed up with Made In Space, the company behind the world’s first zero-G 3D printer, to launch the first commercial manufacturing facility on the International Space Station.
The Additive Manufacturing Facility (AMF), as it is called, is an advanced, permanent 3D printer that will be available for use not only by NASA and its station partners, but also by researchers, educational organizations and commercial customers.

Hypersonic Flying Tech Could Help Us Reach Any Location on Earth in One Hour
Posted by Andreas Matt in category: military
Hypersonic technology vehicles could revolutionize the way that we get around the globe. Research and testing is currently being carried out by several companies.
There are several hypersonic crafts under development, and they could greatly alter the way that we travel. Indeed, many of these designs have already provided valuable insights into how we can quickly and efficiently get from one side of the globe to the other.

Research Shows That Our Brains Are Ready for Teleportation
Posted by Andreas Matt in category: neuroscience
New research shows that teleportation doesn’t break our brains. In fact, our brains are able to keep up and can even register how fast the teleportation process occurs and how far one travels when they are transported.
Even though we’ve only just begun to scratch the surface of teleportation technology, we already have a pretty good idea about how the brain handles the experience of being “beamed” from one place to another. Or at least, we think that we do.
New research indicates that, rather than becoming a confused and sputtering morass as a result of the experience, our brains are able to keep up and can even register how fast the teleportation process occurs and how far one travels when they are transported.
