Electronic design tool morphs interactive objects

October 22, 2020

We’ve come a long way since the first 3D-printed item came to us by way of an eye wash cup, to now being able to rapidly fabricate things like car parts, musical instruments, and even biological tissues and organoids. While much of these objects can be freely designed and quickly made, the addition of electronics to embed things like sensors, chips, and tags usually requires that you design both separately, making it difficult to create items where the added……

October 22, 2020

Paul Bunyan’s gigantic likeness appears all across Minnesota. Legend has it, the state’s 10,000 lakes were made by Paul’s footprints as he trampled across the land.

Beyond the headstone that notes “Here lies Paul, and that’s all” is a 20-foot grass-covered mound signifying the mythical man’s imposing stature. This memorial is one of the only……

“What to Expect When You’re Expecting Robots”

October 22, 2020

As Covid-19 has made it necessary for people to keep their distance from each other, robots are stepping in to fill essential roles, such as sanitizing warehouses and hospitals, ferrying test samples to laboratories, and serving as telemedicine avatars. There are signs that people may be increasingly receptive to robotic help, preferring, at least hypothetically, to be picked up by a self-driving taxi or have their food delivered via robot, to reduce their risk of catching the virus. As……

October 21, 2020

About 40 miles off the coast of Poland, nearly 300 feet below the surface of the Baltic Sea, a beam of light cut through the cold water and fell onto the metal hulk of a ship.

Meet the Man Who Walked from York...

October 21, 2020

If you were driving through the English countryside sometime in October 2020, you may have spotted a man in a full suit of medieval armor, marching along the side of the road. It was neither a present-day Don Quixote nor a lost LARPer. It was simply Lewis Kirkbride, a 38-year-old charity worker from Durham, in northeast England. Turning heads, in fact, was precisely his goal. Over 20 days, Kirkbride walked some 300 miles to raise awareness of the English……

15 London Street in Edinburgh, Scotland

October 21, 2020

Icelandic composer Sveinbjörn Sveinbjörnsson lived in Edinburgh during the 1870s, as the Scottish capital represented more opportunities for a fledgling musician than his home country. He resided in a Georgian-style townhouse in the city’s New Town, however, he probably never imagined that one of his pieces composed here would become his country’s national song. Lofsöngur (Hymn) would become the national anthem in 1944, following Iceland‘s independence from Denmark. Its lyrics were written by Matthías Jochumsson, who would later be……
