2022-01-07 13:40:53 A miniature nuclear reactor for a single city

The designers of the startup NuScale Power presented the idea of a modular nuclear reactor with enough power for a small city.

The reactor is so small (no more than two buses) that it does not require huge protective enclosures or even an exclusion zone. And the design does not differ much from the standard one. It is just optimized for maximum efficiency and safety. And the modularity of such reactors will make it possible to create power plants of any capacity.

The project has already received approval from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to build a test plant in Idaho, which is scheduled to start up in 2026.

Mojo Vision has been developing lenses with AR technology, with the initial goal of helping visually impaired people interact with the world. However, such technology has much more to offer.

The prototype lenses are equipped with a dynamic display, sensors to track eye movements, a power source, and even a wireless connection to the Internet. At the same time, the lenses do not differ in appearance from the usual ones and are gas-tight.

The prototype of the first AR contact lenses passed a toxicological examination. Mojo Vision is expected to announce fully functional AR contact lenses as early as next year. Currently, there are no analogues on the market.

2022-01-05 15:25:34 DroneDek smart mailboxes will revolutionize logistics

As it approaches the DroneDek, the drone navigates its GPS signal to hover precisely over the lid and transmit a security code.

The lid opens and the cargo is lowered inside on a tether. If the drone itself is depleted, it can land on the closed lid and recharge its batteries wirelessly.

If the cargo requires a special temperature setting - heat for cooked food or cold for medicine - it will be activated. There are UV lamps and ionizers inside the box to kill germs on the surface of the package.

It is because of the rapid cooling Juno Rapid Chiller has received its second name "antimicrowave".

The developers suggest using a whole swarm of such combat vehicles in combat.
