Researchers from Princeton and Washington universities have developed a tiny camera, the size of which is comparable with the size of a grain of salt, but which, nevertheless, is able to shoot full-color images with sufficiently high resolution.

The device looks very much like a square piece of transparent material, with circular concentric structures applied to its surface. The circle formed by these structures has a diameter of half a millimeter, but on its area placed about 1.6 million tiny cylinders with a certain thickness, height and distance to neighboring elements.

2021-12-10 17:33:56 Massachusetts Institute of Technology Student Develops New Prosthetics Models

Lucy Doo, a doctoral student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab, is passionate about creativity. She spends her working day in the lab designing and manufacturing prostheses, while she devotes her free time to personal projects at the MIT Maker Workshop or inspires other students to try their hand at engineering.

“The best feeling is when I go to the store and make some parts or order some parts - and the day they arrive is like Christmas,” she says.

Her penchant for making money began at a young age. “I loved creating things and having material equipment to work on. I never wanted to sit and write code or do math all day, ”says Du. She was part of the robotics team in high school and drew inspiration from Disney films and entertainment for many years, especially as their humanoid animatronic technology developed.

2021-12-07 20:22:26 High-temperature Resistant Cellulose Bioplastic

The global industry is increasingly moving towards an environmental philosophy. The goal, also set by international agreements, is to reduce the use of fossil fuels to zero by 2050 in favor of renewable and ecological sources.

Much of this is directly related to the production of plastics, the main components of which are derived from refined petroleum products. Some bioplastics are already in use but have defects between physical and chemical properties.

One of them is poor resistance to fire and fire. This severely limits their possible use on a large scale and their distribution.

2021-12-03 20:03:34 Zip-Fastener Ship: the ZIP-shaped boat

Japanese designer Yasuhiro Suzuki has developed a special pleasure boat in the form of a zipper: "the wake looks like an unfastened zipper.

There are pleasure boats in every possible and imaginable size. From Pharaoh's yachts larger than a football field to small boats just a few square meters long, which can carry two people. But the shape of the boats is almost always the same. If we are not talking about the "zipper ship", a special boat designed by Japanese designer Yasuhiro Suzuki. A Japanese designer designed and built a boat that (as the name suggests) is shaped like a zipper. That's right: the boat is the same shape as the zipper on our pants.

2021-12-01 20:03:02 The First Possible Warp Drive Model

Is the warp drive just science fiction? No, at least in theory!


Two astrophysicists - the Swedish Aleksey Bobrik and the Italian Gianni Martyre - described the first possible model of a warp drive for a spacecraft. To understand the scale of this "discovery", it is necessary to take a step into the world of science fiction. Warp Drive is a type of drive invented by the authors of Star Trek.


It allows spaceships to travel at super speeds faster than the speed of light, thanks to a mechanism unique of its kind. In practice, this is a system that does not actually push the plane forward, but deforms space-time, creating a distortion that shortens the distance to travel.


Essentially, warp drives compress the space in front of the spacecraft and expand it behind it. To understand the implications of this theory, let's imagine a rubber band fastened between two nails and an ant walking on it. Open / Comment

2021-11-29 20:11:05 The CMPN - Single-Person Vehicle

The CMPN concept was developed by Sungguk Park as a single passenger vehicle that will provide citizens with the ability to move around the city on their own terms without the need for a regular car. The electric vehicle is characterized by its modular design, which can be switched according to the changing needs of the driver. This makes it suitable for day to day use as well as great for the weekend warrior lifestyle, making travel to more distant places easier.

The CMPN concept works with a series of replaceable modules, created using recyclable materials, to further enhance its sustainability. The car also supports connected functions that can be configured using the supplied smartphone app for enhanced usability. Open / Comment
