Yeah Science B-Words!

"Imagine an oasis of warm sunlight surrounded by a desert of freezing cold darkness. Robots inside the oasis perform scientific lab analyses and process icy regolith brought from excavations in the neighboring darkness. This oasis, about the size of a football field, lies in a valley about twice the size of Washington DC, surrounded by peaks the size of Mount Rainier. From its low angle on the horizon, the sun’s rays never shine over the peaks into the valley, until heliostats unfold on these peaks and redirect the rays down to form the oasis of sunlight. This place becomes a large science laboratory and the largest off-Earth producer of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen for fueling inter-planetary trips." -The Source Article (click here via nasa.gov)

This idea is one of the coolest floating around in the possible future. Using reflectors to make perpetual solar energy. F-yeah! I say it at least once a week. "Now is an exciting time for science." WE are pushing the envelop on virtually every facet of every field. The connected world has many problems but we all help progress science. It is awe-inspiring and magnificent. I hope to get a field job in Engineering or Mechanics or Electrical Engineering one day but until then I will help with science education....well.....if passing along info counts as that......Continue reading for more info

Head Transplants a possibility?

YES! says one scientist!

THE FUTURE IS NOW and according to Italian Neuroscientist Dr. Sergio Canavero headtransplants may actually be possible. (SAWEEEEET)

AWESOME science project bra: Auto-Gauss Gun project

"I just completed my latest project after almost three years of work. It's a home made, portable coilgun that fires in semi-auto and full-auto modes. It fires 7.7 rounds per second, and the steel projectiles are powerful enough to break glass jars and crack apart a laptop screen (about 138 fps, and 11 joules of muzzle energy)."

GEEKOLOGIE had this article up and I COULDN'T HELP BUT SHARE IT (KINDA)
if you continue reading you can see this shit in action!
I would also like to add that the U.S. Gov't could learn a thing or two from this (when in reality I'm sure this particular model is EXTREMELY ineffective for their purposes)

Pat McClure will be an ODST loooong before expected: C-Thru Smoke Driving Helmet ... HUD gear, the beginning (and actual good pun)

In other news that pretty much just kicks ass-all-around, A new kind of Helmet has been

created for firefighters.. the C-thru (I'll give you 1 fire to guess what it does)

"C-Thru is a helmet that is designed to help firefighter walk through dense smoke during smoke diving search and rescue missions. Time constrains of six minutes per mission, makes it imperative that the gear is optimal. C-thru gives them the edge thanks to the wire-frame vision of the interior geometry, surrounding the smoke diver. Using technological enhancements, the helmet provides a visual map of the interiors so that it becomes easy for the firefighter to locate the victims."
