National Robotarium to develop made-to-measure 3D laser beams Researchers at the National Robotarium, hosted by Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, have announced that they have secured £586,000 to develop 3D laser beams whose shape can be changed. These 3D lasers could help to transform the manufacturing and healthcare technology industries, making it easier and more cost effective to produce products that require highly-precise manufacturing, such as medical equipment and mobile devices. The funding, which has come from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Resea...

So far, quantum computers have been one-of-a-kind devices that fill entire laboratories. Now, physicists at the University of Innsbruck have built a prototype of an ion trap quantum computer that can be used in industry. It fits into two 19-inch server racks like those found in data centers throughout the world. The compact, self-sustained device demonstrates how this technology will soon be more accessible.

Infrared Cameras can Make it Easier to Spot Invasive Pythons Written by AZoOpticsJun 8 2021 For over 25 years, Burmese pythons have been thriving and breeding in the Florida Everglades where they feed on native wildlife and disturb the delicate ecosystems of the region. A new study shows that infrared cameras could make it easier to spot invasive Burmese pythons in Florida. Compared to an RGB visible image (left), the near-infrared image (right) helps the snakes stand out in the grass.

Q: I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW TO MAKE THEM! A: Follow the instructions on the top page, but also take a look at the following diagrams: 1. Make curved scratches as shown above Your first hologram should be something very simple. How about the letter "V." First draw the little "V" as a guide. Draw it near the bottom edge of your piece of plastic. Next, use the dividers to make lots of curved scratches above the "V". For each scratch, place the point on a different spot on the "V." Each scratch should be a quarter-arc or even a half-circle. Don't change the distance between the metal point...
