Meet X-AR, the revolutionary augmented reality headset developed by MIT researchers with support from the NSF. This cutting-edge system uses RF signals to provide wearers with X-ray-like vision, making it possible to locate hidden items labeled with RFID tags up to 15 feet away. And unlike other AR headsets, which only show users things that are already there or completely virtual, X-AR reveals things that are otherwise hidden in the environment.The system has a range of real-world applications, from supply chains and manufacturing to retail stores and beyond. In fact, in tests in a mock warehouse environment, X-AR achieved optimal accuracy, localizing RFID tags with three inches of precision and correctly identifying if a person had picked up an RFID-tagged item with 95% accuracy.#super #superman #clarkkent #supermanandlois #science #scienceandtechnology #scientist #scientific #scientists #artificial #xray #xrayvision #shortsvideo #shortvideo #shortsfeed #shortsviral #shorts #shortsyoutube

Uncovering New Polar Invertebrate Species | Antarctica National Science Foundation News 2023-03-17 | Live from Antarctica: In search of worms and gooey invertebratesThe Antarctic continental shelf is one of the most remote and understudied marine ecosystems on earth. The seafloor here is teeming with invertebrate life: worm species large and small, microscopic mollusks, sea spiders, sea stars, and sea cucumbers (oh my!), all coexisting together on the vast muddy bottom.Most invertebrates in the Southern Ocean are unknown to science, and every expedition uncovers troves of new species and unique body types. Using new DNA sequencing technologies, scientists are also trying to piece together the unique evolutionary history of Antarctic ecosystems and understand how polar invertebrates may be related to species in other ocean regions.Join a "dream team" of invertebrate taxonomists and evolutionary biologists searching for new species around Eastern Antarctica. They'll give you a quick tour of their deep-sea research ship, answer your questions about their work, and more on March 6 at 1pm ET.You can also learn more about the research team before the event at hollybik.com/research.

Killer Fungus Threatens 60 Million People #shorts National Science Foundation News 2023-02-23 | Rice is the primary staple in the diet of more than half of the world's population according to the USDA. And when you're feeding that many people, you want to ensure as much of your harvest makes it to the table as possible. Every year, between 10 and 35% of rice crops are lost to blast disease, effectively taking rice off the table for an estimated 60 million people. Blast Disease is caused by a fungus called Magnaporthe Oryzae, which attacks and kills rice plants around the globe. With support from NSF, biochemists from University of California, Berkeley have discovered that the fungus secretes an the enzyme abbreviated PMO, that punches holes in the tough outer layer of rice leaves. Once inside, the fungus grows until it kills the plant.#lastofus #lastofuspart2 #fungus #fungi #fungicides #fungiside #fungicide #science #scienceandtechnology #sciencefacts #shortsvideo #shortvideo #shorts #short #shortsfeed
