Proving that things tend to turn up when you least expect them, NASA has just rediscovered a satellite it lost in space more than a decade ago. The Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Global Exploration (IMAGE) was launched in 2000 to create the first...
The Earth's atmosphere bears precious little resemblance to what it looked like at the start of the Industrial Revolution. As radio technology has advanced and spread, the signals that transmitters produce -- specifically the Very Low Frequency (VLF)...
This is the first time that scientists have spotted supersonic plasma jets in the earth’s atmosphere. These phenomena are the reason why sometimes temperatures as high as 10,000 degrees Celsius are...
Wondering why a fusion reactor isn't powering your home right now? There are numerous reasons, but one of the biggest is simply keeping the necessary super-hot plasma in an ideal state for energy generation -- it doesn't last that way for long. South...
Ever wondered what the cosmic weather is like, especially around more distant worlds? NASA's happy to help. It recently published a simulation of the Solar System's weather (specifically the Sun's flares, winds and other behaviors) around the time...
It turns out that the sky is full of space debris, which poses a threat to craft and satellites orbiting Earth. A team of scientists at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China have come up with a way to remedy this. They've developed a spacecraft that...
Big achievements in astronomy can also be made at young age. Twenty-something Australian student Cleo Loi devised a way to visualize the giant plasma tubes thought to exist in the earth...
Terry McGinnis hated the Bat-Signal, but he might consider Aerial Burton’s True 3D Display. The Japanese company’s proof-of-concept device creates three dimensional images by reflecting a laser beam into the air. When air molecules are hit by the beam, they become ionized for a brief moment and release photons into the air, which manifest as bright dots of light.
DigInfo obtained demo footage and had a chat with Aerial Burton about their device:
Imagine if instead of lighting up fireworks we could just do this. Ionize your browser to display Aerial Burton’s website for more info.
Plasma TVs have been the most amazing innovation in entertainment. The buyers could enjoy HD quality picture at their own homes but only if those homes are really expensive. Cause that’s what plasma...
Sometimes enough is enough. The same was the case with Panasonic which finally decided to call it quits. Its Plasma TV project is being scrapped for good. This holiday season is set for the death...
