good lord this is awesome. i love the video of it bouncing off that guy's head...total contrast to whenever you're flying a parrot AR quadcopter and everyone takes notice and tries to get away from it. we've been working with

It'd be worth a calculation. Every single beekeeping book has a chapter on selling honey, because all beekeepers are flush with it. When you consider that most of the "hours" spent making honey are spent by the bees, I could

Yes, thanks so much for this post. The advice is good, but I feel like the best part is just seeing that other people are going through the same things you're going through. 2 months out of my full time job and definitely going it alon

They probably could have worded this better: "Greg Stevens, a lifelong diet and work-out enthusiast, is unimpressed..." "...It’s all part of the cult of the amateur enthusiast."

they would likely run in to similar problems. metal matrix composites in general are hard to make and underperform. i just know the most about al/c composites. also, aluminum and titanium are already really strong and light. the author

High temperatures are true of glass work in general. I'm not 100% about the gorilla glass process, but I did not think it high pressure one. And high pressure is not a deal breaker -- it's just the best way to make some things rig

I did my master's thesis on aluminum/carbon fiber composites and typically they mean infiltrating liquid aluminum through weaves of carbon fiber. But these materials are hard as hell to make. Carbon and aluminum do not get along f

I'm a materials scientist, but this isn't my background, so I'm just taking a stab: These materials have a lot of potential for several reasons: high surface area (many reactions and processes are often rate-limited by surfac

I know it doesn't really address the issue at hand, but as an alternative here Android features a little-documented local backup feature that can be done through adb, and can be encrypted. Even google's official adb page has no me

(i'm a material scientist by training and by trade (up till a month ago)) to me, the history of materials improvements is the history of materials characterization techniques. so much of materials science is just trying to figure out t

Is this not a symptom of the app standard set by the app store? It seems like your app store submission is going to be judged largely in light of the the other apps in the app store, and the design/interface standard there is already s

There are a wide variety of coatings out there that could address this -- especially for an application requiring some flexibility like this, there are a wide variety of polyurethanes that have super high abrasion resistance compared to ste

it depends entirely on the matrix material, and then after that the mechanics of whatever structure you're building. Pure carbon fiber is far too delicate to be used on its own without a matrix, but the fibers themselves behave very mu

godamn credit card forms! those get me the most because we're at the moment where i'm trying to give you money, and they pull some passive-aggressive bullshit like limiting the field length to 16 characters. i can almost type in

You guys do great work! This is the third thing from your group in probably as many months that is simple, clean, and useful. Thanks!

"Killer" is a misnomer -- in the beekeeping community, for obvious reasons, they prefer the term "africanized". And it is likely that these bees, being in Africa, are or will very soon be africanized. But it is still possible to safely and

yes, the button is no problem...everything after that is loaded in an iframe though, and so i think xss safeguards prevent you from modifying any of the elements.

my rule to my family at christmas: don't get me anything i can't eat. telling relatives "don't get me anything" never ends up working, so if they're going to get me something, at least it will be delicious.

Yes, that is a creeping problem. Indium is definitely getting strained, and the sputtering process used to deposit ITO can be as low as like 3% deposition efficiency. I just had a proposal rejected by dept of energy for a composite metal/ce
