Just beautiful. We are experimenting with ceramic gelcasting lately[1]. It involves the use of a gel-based slurry, typically made by mixing ceramic powders (such as zirconia, alumina, or silicon carbide) with a liquid binder and a gelling a

Brazilians always had a beef with the Banana Republic thing. They took it personally as a criticism. There is a famous 'carnaval' tongue in cheek song that was composed as an 'answer' to "Yes, we have no bananas&quo

Once institutions, especially powerful ones like NATO, urge businesses and economic agents to prepare for war, they are signaling a shift in the geopolitical and economic landscape that increases the likelihood of conflict. The mobilization

I think you're right, but the humanoid phase in manufacture will probably be an intermediate phase, for the reasons krunck points out. A 100% adapted to the function robot is where productivity is.

An opportunity to speak about a resource most people take for granted in their daily lives. This reliance on electrical power leaves us vulnerable to solar events, particularly coronal mass ejections (CMEs). These massive bursts from the su

At first glance, the concept appears to serve as the basis for a 'portable' magnetic field generator, which could be installed on an interplanetary spacecraft.

I bow my head to the eternal Puppy Linux. Not that I want to see the end of Microsoft like many do. In fact, I don't care. But it could be in real trouble if the masses suddenly became aware of simple, easy, and efficient software like

Just a thought. I use pseudocode as a prompt with very interesting results in the various language models. I don't see any major problems in boosting CASE tools with the so-called AI. We are facing the opportunity to realize the UML dr

Right, I mean, on the bright side Brazilians are being introduced to VPNs. Everybody is talking. It is really a welcome development in all this unfortunate charade.

Puppy Linux made me feel the sweet taste of freedom many years ago. It was the one which introduced me to the GNU/Linux ecosystem. I owe B. Kauler big time, and I wish him all the success in this world.

Cool. More like an underwater 'monocycle', though. Make it into a full body struct in Y shape acting as kind of both 'guidon' and secondary propulsion axis -- more blades, an underwater tricycle. :)

I like it. Takes some effort to get used but it sure does remove much of the usual BB mess. Some breadcrumb style widget on the top to show which level you are on could also be nice.
