Anti-laser can make any object suck in light https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2022/09/anti-laser-can-make-any-object-suck-in-light Thu, 01 Sep 2022 12:45:29 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2022/09/anti-laser-can-make-any-object-suck-in-light

Inserting any material into a special maze of mirrors and lenses can make it absorb light perfectly. This approach could be used to detect faint starlight or for charging faraway devices with lasers.

Ori Katz at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel and his colleagues created an almost perfect absorber of light by building an “anti-laser”.

In a laser, light bounces between mirrors until it becomes amplified enough to exit the device in a concentrated beam. In an “anti-laser”, says co-author Stefan Rotter at Vienna University of Technology in Austria, light enters the device then gets stuck in an inescapable series of bounces within it.

FBL69: David Weinberger — Using Technology To Thrive in Chaos https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2022/08/fbl69-david-weinberger-using-technology-to-thrive-in-chaos Mon, 29 Aug 2022 23:24:20 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2022/08/fbl69-david-weinberger-using-technology-to-thrive-in-chaos

This week our guest is author and technologist, David Weinberger, who has spent years lecturing at Harvard as well as acting as a fellow and senior researcher at the renowned Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society. And just prior to covid, David released his latest book, Everyday Chaos: Technology, Complexity, and How We’re Thriving in a New World of Possibility. In this episode, David and I explore some of the key ideas he focused on in Everyday Chaos. This includes looking at the ways in which we have historically used reductionist thinking to make generalizations for society, products, and technology, and how the latest technologies like the internet and Machine learning are revealing how much more we can thrive when we embrace chaos and customization. This means letting individuals and data tell us what people want by exploring all the possibilities rather than attempting to predict and shape outcomes beforehand.

NASA’s Artemis I launch has the world excited for Monday https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2022/08/nasas-artemis-i-launch-has-the-world-excited-for-monday Sun, 28 Aug 2022 21:24:34 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2022/08/nasas-artemis-i-launch-has-the-world-excited-for-monday

This will be the first mission of its kind. “It’s a long way away from the Apollo sites,” Sarah Noble, Artemis I lunar science lead for NASA’s Planetary Science Division, told CNN.

“All six Apollo landing sites were in the sort of central part of the near side (of the Moon). And now we’re going to someplace completely different in ancient geologic terrain.”

Artemis I is scheduled to launch from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center’s Pad 39B on Monday at 8:33 a.m. EDT (1233 GMT).

The Artemis I mission launches NASA’s return to the moon, 50 years after the last moonwalk. Astronauts explain why it took so long https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2022/08/the-artemis-i-mission-launches-nasas-return-to-the-moon-50-years-after-the-last-moonwalk-astronauts-explain-why-it-took-so-long Sun, 28 Aug 2022 01:23:46 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2022/08/the-artemis-i-mission-launches-nasas-return-to-the-moon-50-years-after-the-last-moonwalk-astronauts-explain-why-it-took-so-long

NASA’s new Space Launch System had some technical issues, but astronauts say the real reason the US hasn’t returned to the moon is political.

Meta’s next VR headset is coming in October https://spanish.lifeboat.com/blog/2022/08/metas-next-vr-headset-is-coming-in-october Sat, 27 Aug 2022 05:25:23 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2022/08/metas-next-vr-headset-is-coming-in-october

Mark Zuckerger has confirmed on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast that Meta will be releasing its next virtual reality headset in October. While he didn’t mention a product name, he described a device that’s consistent with previous reports about the headset that’s codenamed “Project Cambria.” He said the company will likely launch it around its annual Connect event, which took place in late October last year.

According to a previous report by The Information, Reality Labs employees described the new headset as “laptop for the face” or “Chromebook for the face.” It will reportedly have outward-facing cameras enabling mixed-reality experiences. Also, the publication said back then that it will have the capability to allow users’ avatars in the metaverse to mirror their expressions and to show where they’re looking in real life.

As The Verge notes, Zuckerberg has also confirmed those features during his guesting. He said the headset’s features allow some kind of eye contact in virtual reality and that it will be able to translate users’ expressions in real time to their avatars, whether they’re smiling, frowning or pouting.
