Science and Technology articles.
Just recently I’ve seen an article that requires skills in different domains and it’s harder to approach – not exactly a weekend project. Make Magazine released a thorough article that covers how to make a Nuclear Fusor. Yeah even the name is cool, and I can’t really explain what it does. It’s basically an attempt […]
Read more "Nuclear Fusor: Mad scientist stuff"Now and then we take a peek at the stars and wonder about life and the scale of the Universe. Unfortunately, those twinkly stars are quite featureless from this distance. The beautiful sky of a summer night has been branded with romanticism. But, as I feel it, people don’t stop to really take a look […]

Read more "Stunning Theory: Expect a second ”sun” to be seen on the sky"Found some interesting article while stumbling. I hope projects\ innovations like these aren’t just fantasies. I hope they will really influence the progress of human kind. Producing a prototype is not that difficult, but integrating it with current technologies and distributing to the world is the difficult part. And what this article talks about seems […]
