Make it so: VTT and Rolls-Royce imagine the ship's bridge of 2025
Make it so: VTT and Rolls-Royce imagine the ship's bridge of 2025: "Horatio Hornblower meets Jean-Luc Picard on the ship’s bridge of 2025 as Finnish applied research organization VTT and Rolls-Royce present their vision of seafaring ten years from now. Presented in 3D animation videos that projects current technology to the near future, the study shows a world where ship captains call on heads-up displays and high-tech workstations turn the bridge into an augmented reality command and control system."

Gallium nitride transistors promise brighter future for LEDs
Gallium nitride transistors promise brighter future for LEDs: "New advances in transistor technology could make the light-emitting diode (LED) the commercial light source of the future.
Although known for long life and low energy consumption, the LED uses a DC power supply, or driver, to overcome its sensitivity to current fluctuations, and it’s the high-frequency, high-speed switching transistors in this driver that’s made the LED so costly for use in large-scale commercial applications dominated by fluorescent and incandescent lighting."

Flashback Friday: Farts: an underappreciated threat to astronauts. - Seriously, Science? | DiscoverMagazine.com
Flashback Friday: Farts: an underappreciated threat to astronauts. - Seriously, Science? | DiscoverMagazine.com: "On Earth, farts are typically no big deal — smelly, harmless, and they quickly dissipate. But if you’re an astronaut, every fart is a ticking time bomb. The gases in farts are flammable, which can quickly become a problem in a tiny pressurized capsule in the middle of space where your fart gases have no where to go"
