Flash Boys 2.0: New Superfast Network Can Sync Machines Across the Continent

July 26, 2015
On July 16, one pendulum started to swing in Niskayuna, N.Y. Nearly 3,000 miles away, in San Jose, Calif., another weight hung from a fixed point also oscillated back and forth.
The motion of the first pendulum was slightly off from the other. At one point, software in New York sent a command to equipment attached to the pendulum in California to fix its movement so that the two remote instruments would swing identically (see video below).

Now Playing in 4D: Your Heart

July 14, 2015
Cardiologist Bijoy Khandheria has been fixing broken hearts for more than three decades, listening to their muffled gallop and watching their grainy forms emerge and disappear, like some deep-sea life forms, on monitors in his darkened office. “Traditionally, ultrasound has allowed us to see the heart but not in as much detail as we might like,” he says. “We used the signal to image the heart layer by layer, almost like a butcher using a knife, and then mentally splice the layers together to see the whole picture,” he says. “The process has always involved some guesses.”

Why Can’t We Predict Earthquakes?

July 08, 2015
 

With the recent earthquakes that hit so close to home, one can only wonder if it is going to happen again. We all know that an earthquake is a sudden violent shaking of the ground, typically causing great destruction within the area but have you ever wondered what goes on beneath the earth’s surface? Could Kuala Lumpur be vulnerable to an earthquake?

Pure Grit: Material With Skateboarding Heritage Could Make Planes, Trains and Automobiles Use Less Power

April 08, 2015
Power management chips are like second-born kids. They do a lot of hard work, but don’t always get the recognition they deserve.
Like microchips inside computers and laptops, power management chips are pieces of semiconductor as small as a cornflake. But they move electricity (watts), not data (bytes). Their circuits help extend battery life and reduce power consumption for a broad range of devices: from smartphones and tablets to brain scanners and jet engines. They can make machines smaller, lighter, and more efficient.
