Two independent teams using different muon imaging techniques have confirmed the presence of a previous undiscovered corridor in the great pyramid in Egypt.
Other than the main tracking feature of GPS, the system can also be used to detect and monitor in a range of additional and unique situations. The amount of snow on the ground can be measured from GPS signal noise, it can used to detect earthquakes, monitor volcanoes, and to analyse the atmosphere.
Jetopetra have developed a new fluidic propulsion system for aircraft that uses coander effect to pull air into a thruster using negative pressure, removing the need for propellers and reach speeds of Mach 0.8.
Researchers from the University of Washington and Stanford University demonstrated a new radio transmitter that uses almost no power to switch the flow of electrons heated by random thermal noise on or off to an antenna.
Physicists at École Polytechnique in Palaiseau have successfully used lasers to guide lightning over a Swiss mountain. The lasers create a pathway of low density, ionized air that the lightning can follow.
Tim Ferriss recently interviewed Stephen Wolfram on his podcast. I listened to the interview on the Christmas trip back to Ireland and found it fascinating. Stephen describes the work he and his company are doing in creating a new general model for Quantum Physics, which includes his new Ruliad computational space.
Researchers at University of California developed a new technique to break down 95% of PFAS "forever chemicals" in water using UV light and hydrogen gas.
Researchers at the University of Sydney have developed a sodium sulphur based battery that demonstrates four times the energy storage capacity compared to lithium based batteries.
The National Ignition Facility in California has made a nuclear fusion breakthrough to produce more energy output (3.15 MJ) in a fusion experiment than the amount of energy put in (2.05 MJ).
