TECH & INNOVATIONThe resurrection of archaic biplane design for faster than sound, future supersonic aircraft is ongoing. Once all the technical problems are solved, the next generation of sonic aircraft will fly the skies.
ICESat-2 has harvested more data than its predecessor and it helps scientists, big time. Satellite launching -- especially those that are observing Earth -- is not exactly news unless of course, the satellites are from private companies like SpaceX or Boeing so when NASA's observation satellite ICESat-2 was launched last September 2018, it was regarded as just another day at work.
In the year 2019, the big news in science and environment was a treasure trove of amazing events. These will set the pace in 2020 and the years to come.
The biggest game-changers for scientists in material science will be robotics and AI. Use of it, will be very efficient and have advantages for solar tech and other technologies.
There is no stopping humans in exploring space. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration ended the decade with the unveiling the Mars 2020 rover which is scheduled to set off to Mars.
Research by scientists and engineers might have panned out, using boron to contain super-heated plasma. In the future, tokamaks will be made to contain the power of a star to provide power for a long time.
There are so many advancements and technologies in the past few years and e-commerce continue to be on the forefront of change, conquering new territories and extending its influence worldwide.
They may crash hard but these space agencies are not giving up on space missions. Spaceflight is not always about success. Sometimes, a slight change in calculations can send spacecraft crashing but if there is a silver lining in these failed missions, it's that astronomers and engineers have improved their theories in creating spacecraft that will eventually complete their mission.
An entry-level telescope for amateur stargazing is a popular gift during the holiday season. Those who recently received one are probably eager to give it a try. However, assuming they're inexperienced with how to operate their new telescope, it's important to learn a few fundamentals.
Ironically, laser-powered sails offer a better and safer alternative than chemical thrusters; yet another rehash of sails that will enable man to explore a 'new' world.
Life as we know it will keep changing, but are we ready for the changes that are already under way? (Photo : eddierockerz. files. wordpress. com)Will these dystopian technologies change the world starting 2020, and are we prepared for it.
Improving the way to accessing technology is important for PWD and non-PWDS too. Creating interfaces that are customizable and adaptive for any kind of use will be a shock as to how well it adapts.
