How The James Webb Space Telescope Works Using Less Power Than Your Microwave
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the most advanced space telescope ever constructed and one of the coolest pieces of tech we’ve ever sent to space. And even though its technology may be difficult to grasp, the power it uses is very relatable. In fact, it can operate on about one kilowatt of power…

3D Printing Made This Researcher’s 40-Year-Old Concept A Reality
As 3D printing becomes more accessible and printers get increasingly budget-friendly, academic researchers are coming up with a plethora of useful new creations. They’re also going back over older ideas to see if the new technology enables any previously impractical ideas to be brought into use. The latter is exactly what researchers at MIT’s Computer…

This Scientist’s New Invention Could Save A Building In The Event Of An Earthquake
Earthquakes can pose a serious threat to cities and human life. Some scientists have tried to pre-empt these events by using technology like fiber optics to detect earthquakes and tides, while others have sought ways to mitigate the damage they can cause. Civil engineering professor Moussa Leblouba from the University of Sharjah, UAE, has developed…
