Sciencey Stuff

[tarheel0910]

I enjoy reading about different types of science developments, so I thought we could have a thread for it. I've always found it amazing what we can accomplish as a human race. Anyway first up to bat, scientist make the first 3-D printed heart using human cells.

I saw this the other day. I wonder how close they are to actually making that work?

This stuff is incredible. I didn't even believe 3-D printing was real when I first read about it. A while back I poasted something about printing 3-D houses in underdeveloped areas, but its biological applications are mind-blowing.

I'm coming out of hibernation to say that Weird Science is criminally underrated.

It's nice to have a woman's opinion. Not too many of them on this board.

This is promising for the healthcare community and could be a game changer. It's likely still a decade away from being cleared for human use but if it reaches that level, it could change the face of medicine altogether.

I've thought the "Cultured Meat" or clean meat is cool. An area my company is getting involved with now.

They take a cell from a living animal, and "grow" the meat in a bioreactor. Could be a good market for it for people who are vegan/vegetarian for the ethical reasons, and to not have to have as many cows for the environmentally focused people.

That's pretty cool. I would try one.

The killing of the meat is the fun part. Bummer!

"The paper concluded that this new method could be the basis of life-changing technology for people with severe speech disorders, physical trauma or other conditions that limit their ability to communicate." Wow.

NASA going with the "alter the asteroid's path" instead of the more popular "nuke the Asteroid with a wacky group of off-shore oil drillers". Bold strategy here.

Bruce Willis is too old to pull that off anymore.

Any plan that doesn't include Bruce Willis is doomed for failure.

So after Earth is saved, does Colonel Sharp get put in jail? Reprimanded? Something? The dude almost single-handedly doomed Earth.

Too close to Brazil (and their women) for my liking.

"They could crawl into cellphone batteries and clean and rejuvenate them. They might be a boon to neural scientists, burrowing into the brain to measure nerve signals. Millions of them in a petri dish could be used to test ideas in networking and communications."

Would you like to watch today's summer solstice from Stonehenge?

This is so, so weird. I was taking a piss and reading an article on my phone about the science of the kilogram that discussed the concept of Planck’s constant. I had never heard of it before.

https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2019/may/19/adieu-le-grand-k-the-kilogram-to-be-redefined-for-/

Seconds later, I’m back in my recliner watching episode 7, season 3 of Stranger Things and they mention Planck’s constant at the 15:10 mark.

That’s amazing. I’m amazed.

More moon stuff

Sounds like the funding might be a bigger challenge than the technology.

One thing this article doesn't mention is that NASA is looking at this moon project as a proving ground/launching point for putting humans on Mars by the mid-2030s (which sounds a long way off but is only a decade and a half). Color me extremely skeptical, but that would be incredible.

Yes, I'm very skeptical as too. Hell, we were all supposed to have jet packs by now, and flying cars but I'm still waiting.

We got the internet instead. We've spent R&D on communications rather than fun personal transportation devices.

Back to the Future got that part wrong. They still had us sending faxes, using landline phones and using poor projection screen TV.

Saw one of the most incredible things in my life last night. We’re sitting at this bar called hi tides that has a balcony on the 4th floor overlooking the ocean. Off beyond the horizon we could seen the cloud tops of a distant storm system hundreds of miles away. It was an incredible lightning display as it was. But then As the sun set we could see green and blue lightning exiting the tops of the clouds and seeming to hit some barrier (space?). We were dumfounded. I had no idea something like this existed. I googled it and found videos on “jet lightning” which is evidently what we saw.
