Supersonic submarines
Modern nuclear submarines are capable of travelling over 25 knots (or 29 mph), and believe it or not, but underwater vessels used to travel much slower than this. But researchers at the Harbin Institute of Technology's Complex Flow and Heat Transfer Lab have demonstrated the ability to use a process called “supercavitation” to propel subs through the ocean at rates up to the speed of sound.
The 1,200 mpg vehicle of the future
The vehicle of the future is here—at least in concept form—and it is a doozy. The creators of the Acabion da vinci are claiming it’s 100 percent solar electric energy based and 1000 percent more efficient than today’s cars. It offers up a range of 932 miles to up to 1,200 miles per charge. The whole thing looks more like a jet than a car, but it’s over 18 feet long six feet wide and just over 5 feet tall.
The world’s first cyborg
Neil Harbisson was born complete colorblind. But the British artist and “cyborg activist” has since had an antenna implanted in his skull that allows him to “see” colors via sound waves. This makes him the world’s first legally recognized cyborg. Back at the Dartington College of Arts in Devon, England, Harbisson and the computer scientist
