Creative Machines Lab at Columbia Engineering have developed a system of software-controlled lasers to cook food with precision, retain moisture with the final-cooked product, brown food within its original packaging, and create an entirely new meal creation process for a consumer. Who hasn’t dreamt of coming home after a long day and simply pressing a […]
Inspired by the displays of science fiction like the holodeck from Star Trek and the Princess Leia projector from Star Wars, a BYU electrical and computer engineering team is working to develop screenless volumetric display technologies. Scientists at Brigham Young University (BYU) have created tiny 3D animations out of light. The animations pay homage to […]
Blurring the lines between science and art: researchers used a “laser paintbrush” to create art on metallic canvases. Researchers at ITMO University in Russia have created a “laser paintbrush” capable of creating localized color on a metallic canvas, using their method to create miniaturized replicas of various works of art—including Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry […]
Enlarge / One of the magnets used to help contain antimatter. (credit: Brookhaven National Lab) On Wednesday, scientists reported successfully cooling atoms made of antimatter using an ultraviolet laser. The cooling process deployed here works on normal matter, so it was also expected to work just fine with the antihydrogen used for these experiments. Rather […]
