Could Milky Way’s core harbour advanced alien life?

Posted by in category: alien life

A new effort to detect extraterrestrial life will listen for radio pulses coming from the galactic nucleus. Pulsars, which are stars that naturally emit narrow-frequency pulses, are also intentionally used by humans in technology like radar.

These pulses are a useful means of communication over great distances and a desirable target to listen for when looking for extraterrestrial civilisations because they stand out against the ambient radio noise of space.

A recent study that was released on May 30 in The Astronomical Journal by researchers described their approach to looking for alien life.

See the Terrifying New Robot That Can Pack Itself Flat And Turn Into Every Shape

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Frequent flyers rejoice, as a team of Swiss researchers have crafted a foldable flat robot, capable of rotating itself into nearly any shape one can imagine, fitting easily under any airplane seat or overhead cabin. The robot, whose design was inspired by the decorative flair of Japanese origami, is able to pack itself completely flat like a piece of Ikea furniture, according to a recent write-up in Futurism. With other recent developments in science and robotics leading to incredible advancements, such as liquid robots that can phase through metal bars like a T-1000, as well as a host of robotic enhancements courtesy of Boston Dynamics, many people are beginning to fear that science has gone too far.

Ford dreams up a roof-mounted backup EV battery system

Posted by in category: climatology

Ford filed a patent last week for a roof-mounted backup EV battery system designed to give you the extra juice while off the grid. The idea is likely a pipe dream, but it shows you how automakers are getting creative in the electric era.

Having a removable backup battery you can easily mount on the roof of your EV might come in handy while camping, off-roading, etc.

In the patent, spotted by Lightning Owners, Ford describes “a backup battery for an electrified vehicle, and more particularly, a backup battery that can be mounted to a roof of the electrified vehicle.”

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

This week, during The Global Stem Cell Event in Boston, Mass., scientists revealed that they have created a synthetic human embryo without an egg or sperm.

It isn’t clear yet whether these embryos could eventually mature into living, breathing, humans. However, their mere existence is “groundbreaking,” according to The Guardian, the first outlet to report on the discovery.

Details of this research has not yet been published.
