Build Anything With This AutoCAD Programming Certification Bundle
Good design isn’t just pleasant to live and work in, it can literally save your life. And many buildings are first assembled not on the site but within a virtual environment with computer-assisted design (CAD) that makes it easy to ensure a design is both within zoning codes and within the bounds of physics. The… Continue reading Build Anything With This AutoCAD Programming Certification Bundle
New Diabetes Treatment Involves a Robot “Docked” Inside Your Guts
Down the road, diabetes patients might do away with regular injections or infection-prone insulin pumps and might instead supply a robotic docking station in their guts with regular shipments of insulin pills. A team of engineers developed a small robot that can be implanted into the small intestine that pulls magnetic pills full of insulin… Continue reading New Diabetes Treatment Involves a Robot “Docked” Inside Your Guts
Val Kilmer Can’t Speak — But His AI Voice Replacement Is Truly Uncanny
“After getting treated, my voice as I knew it was taken away from me.” Speaking Up After actor “Top Gun” actor Val Kilmer was treated for throat cancer, he lost the ability to speak clearly.

Japan Tests Exploding Rocket Engine for the First Time in Space
This could be a game changer for deep space exploration. Ring of Explosions Japan’s space agency JAXA has announced that is has successfully demonstrated the operation of a “rotary detonation engine” in space, a world’s first. Such an engine uses a series of controlled explosions that travel around a circular channel at its base. The… Continue reading Japan Tests Exploding Rocket Engine for the First Time in Space
Why You Might Want an mRNA Booster Shot, In One Simple Graphic
By late September, Americans who got an mRNA vaccine for COVID-19 — that means either Pfizer or Moderna — may be able to sign up for a third shot in order to boost their immune response to the coronavirus, according to an announcement from President Biden. Part of the rationale is preemptive, The Washington Post… Continue reading Why You Might Want an mRNA Booster Shot, In One Simple Graphic
Scientists 3D Print Living, Viable Brain Tumor, to Practice Killing It
Image by Getty / Futurism A team of mad scientists successfully 3D-printed out a living, “viable” glioblastoma tumor — the deadliest kind of brain cancer — for the express purpose of learning how to kill it. The tumor, which is made of a brain-like material and artificial blood vessels, is likely the most realistic approximation… Continue reading Scientists 3D Print Living, Viable Brain Tumor, to Practice Killing It
