Mind-Bending Video Shows Objects Being Levitated with Soundwaves
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThis isn’t a computer-generated scenario, but rather a team of Japanese scientists has actually managed to levitate small particles, moving them around mid-air, using ultrasound.
According to the research paper: „In the present study, we considered extended acoustic manipulation whereby millimetre-sized particles were levitated and moved three-dimensionally by localised ultrasonic standing waves, which were generated by ultrasonic phased arrays.“
Here’s a bit more info from the paper: „Our manipulation system has two original features. One is the direction of the ultrasound beam, which is arbitrary because the force acting toward its centre is also utilised. The other is the manipulation principle by which a localised standing wave is generated at an arbitrary position and moved three-dimensionally by opposed and ultrasonic phased arrays. We experimentally confirmed that various materials could be manipulated by our proposed method.“

Godzilla2014 Movie Trailer, Shows Japan Like You’ve Never Seen Before
Reading Time: < 1 minuteGodzilla’s 2014 reboot retells the origin of the monster in modern times as a „terrifying force of nature“. It’s being directed by Gareth Edwards and stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Bryan Cranston, Juliette Binoche, David Strathairn, Sally Hawkins and Ken Watanabe.
Here’s what The Independent has to say: „Perhaps taking a lesson from JJ Abrams successful monster film Cloverfield, it is not until the end that the creature is revealed to the viewer, and even then it is obscured by a dust cloud. From the trailer it appears that this incarnation of the Godzilla will rely more on psychological horror and strong character-driven plots rather than special effects and action alone.“

Underwater Millennium Falcon Formation Continues To Puzzle Divers
Reading Time: 2 minutesYou may remember a year or so back when a deep-sea salvage company discovered something odd at the bottom of the Baltic sea. The team from OceanX jokingly described the object as a UFO, but once the story went viral, many commented on the fact that it kind of looked like the Millennium Falcon. Using side-scan sonar, the object was discovered to be 60 meters in diameter, with a “rigid tail 400 meters long.” Earlier this month divers descended the nearly 300 feet below the surface to photograph the anomaly, and despite a first-hand look and bringing up samples for analysis, they have returned with more questions than answers. You can watch a news report with footage and photos of the expedition below, unfortunately all in Swedish.

Video Shows Why Neptune Pine Might be the Best Smart Watch Yet
Reading Time: < 1 minuteAfter a year of development, the rugged Neptune Pine has finally been unveiled, and it works without a smartphone. Making and receiving calls, typing out text messages, or even just listening to music and taking pictures, is a breeze, functioning exactly like a smartphone. Simply pop in a micro SIM card and you’re ready for the road.
Here are a few technical specifications: „At its core, the Pine is an Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean device (Android 4.4 KitKat will be supported after launch). It has a 2.4-inch (320 x 240 resolution) touchscreen, 1.2GHz Qualcomm Cortex-A5 dual-core processor, 3G HSPA+ connectivity (no 4G LTE here), 16GB or 32GB of internal storage, GPS, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, gyroscope and accelerometer, and two cameras (a 5-megapixel rear camera on the back and a VGA-resolution front camera; both with LED flash).“

Crazy Video Shows World’s First 18-Rotor Electric Helicopter Taking Flight
Reading Time: < 1 minuteHere’s a first look at the E-volo Volocopter VC200, the world’s first 18-rotor electric helicopter. The two-seater boasts 18 zero-emission motors powered by six battery packs, and a frame that’s made from carbon fiber to keep the aircraft lightweight. That’s not all, it maneuvers by using its multiple propellers and changing the thrust of its motors, similar to that of a quadcopter. (In case you’re looking around for the top quadcopters under 100 dollars – there’s more details here.)
According to Dvice, a prototype of the VC200 recently „took to the skies for its first series of test flights. Not only was the team impressed with the smooth flight experience of the aircraft, but they were also surprised by how quiet the Volocopter ran. The VC200 took a total of nine flights, including one that lasted nearly 22 meters.“

You Won’t Believe What Scientists Say Blue Light Can Do For Humans
Reading Time: < 1 minuteStill have a morning ritual of drinking a few cups of Joe? Well, researchers at Mid Sweden University compared the effects of caffeine and blue light on the brain and found them both to have a positive effect. Here’s the kicker, people who were exposed to blue light performed better on tests of brain function that included a distraction.
Here’s what one researcher has to say: „The same distraction, however, proved too much for caffeine users, who performed poorly. Blue light and caffeine demonstrated distinct effects on aspects of psychomotor function. The study builds on research that suggests blue light can improve cognitive abilities such as memory, alertness and reaction time. Although harmless to tissue, blue light is strong enough to trigger biological effects in the body, and it’s being used increasingly for a range of medical treatments.“

You’ll Soon Be Able to Virtually Taste Things Online with This Technology
Reading Time: < 1 minuteYou read that right, researchers at the National University of Singapore have created a ‚digital lollipop‘ that utilizes electric currents to transmit virtual tastes straight to your tastebuds. The machine is similar to the fictional Everlasting Gobstopper in which it never runs out, and also the Chewing Gum Meal, which had several different flavors packed into one piece of gum.
All of the four major taste groups – sweet, salty, bitter and sour – can be recreated through a silver electrode which makes contact with the tongue.
Nimesha Ranasinghe, who was the lead researcher on the project, told New Scientist magazine: „We have found noninvasive electrical and thermal stimulation of the tip of the tongue successfully generates the primary taste sensations.“ The Daily Mail would like to add that „the invention is relatively crude at the moment, but there are hopes to make it small enough that users can almost wholly close their mouth while using it.“

Scientists Discover Largest Cosmic Explosion Ever, Gamma Ray Bursts 3.7-Billion Light Years Into Space
Reading Time: < 1 minuteScientists have observed the largest and brightest cosmic explosion ever.
Astronomers have called the gamma ray burst ‚the monster‘ because it created five times more energy than the largest, captured 3.7 billion light years away. This single burst created five times more energy than the largest previously-known blast and if it had been closer to Earth, our planet could have been destroyed.
Here’s what The Daily Mail has to report: „The burst is said to have flooded Nasa monitoring instruments with five times the energy of its nearest competitor, a 1999 blast, said University of Alabama at Huntsville astrophysicist Rob Preece, author of one of the studies. It started with a star that had 20 to 30 times the mass of our sun but was only a couple of times wider, meaning it was incredibly dense.

You Can Play An Xbox 360 Through An Xbox One Through An Xbox One like the XBOXCENTIPEDE
Reading Time: < 1 minuteEver since we heard about the Xbox One’s HDMI input feature—which is intended to route HDMI devices like a cable box through it and „snap“ to that program—I’ve been excited to put it to the test. Could we play another Xbox One through an Xbox One?
What about an Xbox 360 hooked into an Xbox One which is itself hooked up to a second Xbox One? Xbox Inception?
Originally from Kotaku:
You can play one through the other! Now, you wouldn’t want to play Saint’s Row IV through three consoles. Trust us. There’s lag. We’re also not sure it all looks quite as nice. But for now we’re just having fun. And, remember, Microsoft doesn’t officially push the Xbox One as a machine that should be used for chaining game consoles. Consider this just a parlor trick.
Because of the PS4’s HDCP encryption, you actually can’t play Killzone on Xbox One (for now)

New iPhone 6 “Air” Concept Image Copies Moto G Customizable Colours Feature
Reading Time: 2 minutesA new iPhone 6 „Air“ concept emerged online and included Moto G’s new customizable feature.
The new concept image is created by brightknight08. The iPhone 6 „Air“ features an all-new design with aiPad Air-like body and has customizable colours. There are new buttons as well, including a backlit proximity sensor in place of the home button and a silent button featured at the top that also functions as the iPhone’s power button. Moreover, brightknight08 packs a 4.6 inch Full HD screen display with 450 ppi in the iPhone 6 „Air“.
The newly released Moto G also boasts customizable feature that allows users to change the colours of the handset. Moto G turned the heads of many consumers as the smartphone costs $179 for its 8GB variant.
According to the latest rumours, the upcoming iPhone 6 features may include a solar wireless charging feature. One of the most common complaints on iPhones is fast depleting battery capacity. This feature aims to provide solution to the said problem.
This feature is supported by a patent filed by Apple back in February. Apple secured a patent for the use of solar panels in portable devices. This integrated touch sensor and solar assembly would involve integrating social cells into a touch screen by using electrodes that can pull double duty as a solar cell and a touch sensor.
Another rumoured feature that is making the rounds is the use of an extremely strong Sapphire glass for the smartphone’s screen display. Apple already used the technology on the cover of iPhone 5S and Touch ID home button. Sapphire glass is roughly 2.5 times stronger than the glass currently used in smartphones, many of which use Gorilla Glass from Corning.
Rumours claimed iPhone 6 will come with larger screen display with a range of 4.8 to 6 inches. Many analysts predicted that Apple will finally pack a bigger screen on the iPhone 6. Also, the next Apple flagship smartphone may keep the iPhone 5S‘ 64-bit A7 processor, M7 graphics chip and the fingerprint sensor. The next generation of iPhone may also include features Near Field Communication and larger internal storage that were skipped in the current handset.
iPhone 6 release date is still unconfirmed. There were speculations that the unveiling will happen early next year. However, reports claimed that Apple is adding more suppliers to increase the availability of iPhone 5S due to its strong demand.

Scientist Claims Quantum Physics Proves There Really is an Afterlife
Reading Time: < 1 minuteProfessor and scientist Robert Lanza claims the theory of biocentrism teaches that death as we know it is an illusion created by our consciousness.
That’s right, he says that life creates the universe, and not the other way round, meaning that space and time don’t exist in the linear fashion we think it does. To illustrate his point, Lanza uses the famous double-split experiment.
Here’s what The Daily Mail has to say about Lanza’s theory: „By looking at the universe from a biocentric’s point of view, this also means space and time don’t behave in the hard and fast ways our consciousness tell us it does. Once this theory about space and time being mental constructs is accepted, it means death and the idea of immortality exist in a world without spatial or linear boundaries. Theoretical physicists believe that there is infinite number of universes with different variations of people, and situations taking place, simultaneously.“
