Holograms preserve all of an object’s 3D information, but on a 2D surface. Could the holographic Universe idea lead us to higher dimensions?
Using shaped ultrasound, researchers can 3D print objects in one shot.
The late philosopher suggested adding a couple of “Occam’s heuristics” to your critical thinking toolbox.
A new method could make holograms for virtual reality, 3D printing, and more. You can even run it can run on a smartphone.
The holograms use ‘aerohaptics’, which creates feelings of touch with simple jets of air.
“The brain is never the same from one moment to the next throughout life. Never ever.”
When the average person has a “theory,” they’re just guessing. But for a scientist, a theory is the pinnacle of what we can achieve.
Today, we could use Big Data to radically reform democracy. Tomorrow, we could build nanofabricators and usher in an era of abundance. Is society ready?
It didn’t look like anything I’d seen before, but I’d be a great fool to consider “aliens” as a reasonable possibility.
In each of our minds, we draw a demarcation line between beliefs that are reasonable and those that are nonsense. Where do you draw your line?
Three of our dimensions are spatial and one is temporal, but could there be more? From any point in space, you are free to move in any direction you choose. No […]
Is it time we outlaw circus animals altogether?

The money will go to her foundation, but is the tour really in the ‘Back to Black’ chanteuse’s best interest?
What do the inventions of the future look like?
Moving from HOT to HAT, a dazzling new acoustic technology.
The quest for a quantum theory of gravity is the holy grail of physics. Here’s why it’s murkier than anyone expected. If you want to fully describe how the Universe […]
Millions of people will watch the 2018 FIFA World Cup this week on TVs and computers. But new technology suggests the next World Cup might be watched through 3D holograms.
Researchers say they’ll someday be able to recreate experiences, perceptions, and sensations with a device the size of a backpack.
Get ready for images projected in mid-air to start appearing in the next few years.
Computer art does not rival human art. Rather, art created by artificial intelligence is at once a compliment to the human brain, and a corollary to the achievements of oil paintings and classical music.
A primer on the amazing possibilities of mixed reality, augmented reality, and virtual reality technology.
It’s the dawn of a new age. AI, VR, and robotics are creating the future that science-fiction writers have dreamed about.
Cosmologists behind braneworld theories see our universe as being a part of a complex inter-dimensional world.
In this radical view, the universe is a giant supercomputer processing particles as bits.
There is however, at least one caveat.
What if alien life — or even intelligence — don’t look like what we’re searching for? When the original Star Trek premiered, it was revolutionary for depicting sentient, intelligent species other than humans, living […]
