Tsunamis are usually caused by an earthquake under the sea and it can cause great destruction once it reaches land. Tsunami shelters could be big enough to support a whole community or small enough just to support a family of four. The Future of Farming Is Inside This Bomb Shelter. Deep beneath the streets of London, in a complex of bomb shelters left abandoned since World War II, something is growing.
Thousands of green sprouts burst from their hydroponic trays, stretching toward glowing pink lights that line the arched ceilings. These plants, along with tens of thousands of other salad crops, are being grown from seed without soil or sunlight, in tunnels transformed into a high-tech commercial farm. The farm is known as Growing Underground (GU), and it’s located 108 feet below the main street in Clapham, a south London suburb. Every year, in 6,000 square feet of old bomb shelter, more than 100 tons of pea shoots, garlic chives, cilantro, broccoli, wasabi mustard, arugula, fennel, red mustard, pink stem radishes, watercress, sunflower shoots, and salad leaves are sown, grown, and prepared for dispatch. These Rats Drive Tiny Cars—for Science. An answer looking for a question. Hedy Lamarr: Invention of Spread Spectrum Technology. Although better known for her Silver Screen exploits, Austrian actress Hedy Lamarr (born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler) also became a pioneer in the field of wireless communications following her emigration to the United States.
The international beauty icon, along with co-inventor George Anthiel, developed a "Secret Communications System" to help combat the Nazis in World War II. 7 of the Deepest Holes Humanity Ever Dug.

During the night of January 7, 1943 Nikola Tesla died in his room at the Hotel New Yorker.
PBS: Tesla - Master of Lightning: The Missing Papers. One of the more controversial topics involving Nikola Tesla is what became of many of his technical and scientific papers after he died in 1943.
Just before his death at the height of World War II, he claimed that he had perfected his so-called "death beam. " So it was natural that the FBI and other U.S. Government agencies would be interested in any scientific ideas involving weaponry. Some were concerned that Tesla's papers might fall into the hands of the Axis powers or the Soviets.
The morning after the inventor's death, his nephew Sava Kosanovic´ hurried to his uncle's room at the Hotel New Yorker. P. Dr. Our Planet.

The Nine-Part 'Flex-Plane' Drone Flaps Its Wings Like a Pterodactyl. Szorenyi Rotary Engine Design. Inspired by sci-fi, an airplane with no moving parts and a blue ionic glow. Since their invention more than 100 years ago, airplanes have been moved through the air by the spinning surfaces of propellers or turbines.
But watching science fiction movies like the “Star Wars,” “Star Trek” and “Back to the Future” series, I imagined that the propulsion systems of the future would be silent and still – maybe with some kind of blue glow and “whoosh” noise, but no moving parts, and no stream of pollution pouring out the back. That doesn’t exist yet, but there is at least one physical principle that could be promising. California Fire Firefighting.
Construction begins on Jeff Bezos’ $42 million 10,000-year clock. Installation has finally begun on Jeff Bezos’ 10,000-year clock, a project that the Amazon CEO has invested $42 million in (along with a hollowed-out mountain in Texas that Bezos intends for a Blue Origin spaceport), with the goal of building a mechanical clock that will run for 10 millennia.
The actual idea for the clock comes from Danny Hillis, who originally proposed a 10,000-year clock in 1995 in Wired as a way to think about the long-term future of humanity and the planet. That idea grew into the Clock of the Long Now, a project by the Long Now Foundation, which Hillis went on to co-found to build an actual, working version of the proposed clock. Why more women don't win science Nobels. One of the 2018 Nobel Prizes in physics went to Donna Strickland, a major accomplishment for any scientist.
Yet much of the news coverage has focused on the fact that she’s only the third female physicist to receive the award, after Marie Curie in 1903 and Maria Goeppert-Mayer 60 years later. Though biochemical engineer Frances Arnold also won this year, for chemistry, the rarity of female Nobel laureates raises questions about women’s exclusion from education and careers in science. Female researchers have come a long way over the past century. New Microscope Shows the Quantum World in Crazy Detail. Consent Form.

A CRISPR-Cas9 System for Genetic Engineering of Filamentous Fungi. Abstract The number of fully sequenced fungal genomes is rapidly increasing. Since genetic tools are poorly developed for most filamentous fungi, it is currently difficult to employ genetic engineering for understanding the biology of these fungi and to fully exploit them industrially.
For that reason there is a demand for developing versatile methods that can be used to genetically manipulate non-model filamentous fungi. To facilitate this, we have developed a CRISPR-Cas9 based system adapted for use in filamentous fungi. The system is simple and versatile, as RNA guided mutagenesis can be achieved by transforming a target fungus with a single plasmid. The Marines Want Non-Lethal Taser Rounds to Stun Angry Crowds.

The impossible EM drive…works?
Since first hearing rumors about NASA’s physics-breaking propulsion system late last year, a paper describing their device has passed peer-review, and China claims to be testing their own version in space right now. We need to break science out of its ivory tower – here's one way to do this. Without hardware, there is no science. From Hooke’s microscope to the Hubble telescope, instruments are modern science’s platforms for producing knowledge. But limited access to scientific tools impedes the progress and reach of science by restricting the type of people who can participate in research, favouring those who have access to well-resourced laboratories in industrial or academic institutions.
Scientists in developing countries, grassroots community organisations, and citizen scientists can struggle to obtain and maintain the equipment they require to answer their own research questions.
