An electric company recently gave MIT $30 million to try and make the worlds most powerful electromagnet. An electromagnet is basically a giant magnet that takes high energy explosions and converts all that energy into electricity. This is called nuclear fusion. The magnet can fit in the bed of of a large truck and create about 100 million watts of power, enough to power a medium sized city
On March 14, Stephen Hawkings passed away. Stephen Hawking was one of the best minds of modern physics. Stephen suffered from ALS, which caused him to be in a wheelchair and have to talk through a computerized voice. Stephen Hawking changed the understanding on black holes, until his work scientists believed that nothing could get out of one. Stephen posited that quantum mechanics allowed black holes to emit particles, this became known as the Hawking Radiation.

One of the brightest minds of modern physics Stephen Hawking died at the age of 76 at his home in Cambridge, England. He was the best-known physicist in the world, even though he had to communicate via a computerized voice that recorded the motion of his cheek muscle. He was a brilliant student of physics at the University of Cambridge when he was diagnosed with the nerve disease (ALS), at the age of 21. He was most known for his discoveries on the black holes.
United States Robots possibly ready to take on African Jobs. In the next two decades, it will be much cheaper to use robots in United States factories rather than hiring African workers. This could hurt Africans as less manufacturing means less work, although they have time to change. One to two decades is a lot of time to come up with alternative jobs and make themselves still an attractive option for manufacturing. Robots are becoming more popular as they have need for payment and can work around the clock.
On March 14th, Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76. He died at his hime in Cambridge England. He died with the disease ALS and has survived with it for almost 60 years. He is known most for his discovery on the black hole. He was super smart before he was diagnosed with ALS. He was only given 2 years to live and he was able to overcome it.
A 28-year-old murder case is brought back due to new technology. Pam Felkins was reported missing on Feb. 2, 1990. Authorities believe she was abducted from the Crossroads Video store in Greenbrier where she worked. They found her brutally murdered body at a dump site off Clinton Mountain road on Feb. 3, 1990. To this day, no one has been charged in Felkins' murder. With the advancements in DNA technology, investigators Fowlkes and Hill have resubmitted evidence to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for DNA. Technology has changed over the years. This upgrade in technology will hopefully trigger something in someone's mind that will lead to answers.
A robot built at MIT has reportedly set a world speed record for solving a Rubik's Cube, cutting the previous record of 0.637 seconds (set by another robot in 2016) down to just 0.38 seconds. The Rubik's-solving robot was constructed at MIT this January by Ben Katz, a mechanical engineering graduate student, and Jared Di Carlo, an electrical engineering and computer science student.
There is a possibility that new technologies are doing less to boost productivity than past innovations. It is said they could even have negative side effects that will undermine productivity growth. This will also reduce our well being in other ways too. In other years productivity growth in developed economies have been becoming inactive. The most important explanations of the trend involves technology. Technology progress is suppose to increase economies' productivity and growth, but what is really happening?
30 million dollars was given to MIT to create an electromagnets. This will be used to power cities because the high energy explosions is turned into electricity. Scientists at MIT believe that this will become widely spread within the next 15 years. The goal for this project is to have a compact, functional fusion reactor. The first stage of this long process is to create a very powerful electromagnets.
A robot set the new world record for fastest to solve a Rubik's cube. The robot solved the cube in .38 seconds. The previous record was .637 seconds also set by a robot. This robot was built at MIT in January. The two who built this were inspired by the last robot who had the previous record. Two webcams send footage to a computer, thats how the robot detects which color is where.
North American mountains have gotten a lot more snow then previously thought. The snow totals are enough that if put only in Ohio, it would be taller then the Statue of Liberty. These came from analysis from supercomputers found on 11 different mountain ranges throughout the US. Scientist put their data together and found out that the total snowfall on the earth, when melted would leave behind 2.5 inches.

Stephen Hawking worked on a paper to prove that humans are a part of a multi-universe. The paper talks about the relationship between time and space. In the paper is talks about how time and space occurred moments after the Big Bang, which created the universe. They believe that this happened many times. This paper is free to read for the public and it helps people realize and remember Hawking's deep thinking about spaces mysteries.
When most people think of a virus, they think of something small. Yet scientists have been finding bigger and bigger viruses over the years. These viruses are packed with an impressive amount of DNA and genetic material. The age of the mega virus began in 2003, when the Mimivirus was discovered. This virus is 7.5X the size of the influenza virus. In 2009, another was discovered in 2009 by the name of Marseillevirus. After 2013, enough of these large viruses were discovered to create a potential eight different virus families. This difference in viruses is relatively new, and a big deal to scientists.

MIT Technology is still working out the flaws on this but they said that they should have it ready by 2020. MIT Technology wants to make it so that It is an easier way to pay.
Octopus-Inspired skin may give robots 3D camouflage. Researchers have created a synthetic form of cephalopod skin that can transform from a flat, 2D surface to a three-dimensional one with bumps and pits. This may help researchers find out more about animals because instead of getting attacked by the animals the robots could find and get closer the to animals. Also this could help the military, and many other fields of study.
There is now such thing as a robotic fish. The robotic fish purpose it too spy on marine life. The fish has only one eye and it's tail moves. It has sensors so it doesn't run into any fish or coral. This fish is controlled by a human which stands away and has a controller. They are working on making one that wouldn't need a controller. It is also used to observe behavior of whale sharks and to swim in other pools of fish and observe the life of a fish with out raising any suspicions.

Novel vaccine technologies are critical to improving the public health response to infectious disease threats thatemerge and re-emerge. Historically, vaccines against viral diseases have used live-attenuated (weakened) viruses or inactivated whole viruses to induce protective immune responses. The development process often takes 15 to 20 years or more and requires virus cultivation, animal model testing, product formulation, immunogenicity testing and years of costly clinical trials. The perspective notes that once a vaccine platform is established, such as that for DNA or mRNA vaccines, potentially it can be applied to multiple pathogens, especially within virus classes or families. For example, NIAID's Vaccine Research Center quickly developed a candidate DNA vaccine for Zika virus with the same platform used previously for a related flavivirus, West Nile virus. Platform technologies enable scientists to apply a standardized manufacturing process to multiple vaccines and create a collective database on their safety
Scientist at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), are working on a new robotic fish that can swim underwater along side other fish. This would greatly further the understandment of fish and their natural habitat, other than divers going down and disrupting the fishes natural behavior. However there would still be a need for a diver to operate the robotic fish.He just wouldn't have to get as close. Researchers are currently testing prototypes that they hope to fine tweak and put to use here very soon. http://money.cnn.com/2018/03/21/technology/mit-fish-robot/index.htm
The International Cycling Union will be using X-ray technology and randomly select bikes to dismantle, following a race in an increased effort to fight technological fraud. The UCI president David Lappartient, had promised the detection of potential mini-engines in bikes would be one of his top priorities. He announced a series of new measures in Geneva on Wednesday, including the use of X-ray equipped trucks. There are also other measures like the dismantling of suspicious bikes and the continued use of tablet devices to scan bikes, a technique that was widely criticised by riders and some team staff for being ineffective. In the last two editions of the Tour de France, thermal imaging cameras were also used to detect the potential use of motors in bikes. Riders caught using mini-engines face a minimum six-month suspension as well as a fine up to 200,000 Swiss Francs($210,000), while the team could face a fine of up to 1 million Swiss Francs.
