| Go read this Atlantic report about why the battery of the future might come from the ocean Posted: 26 Dec 2019 02:19 PM PST  Photo by: Universal History Archive/Universal Images Group via Getty Images There's no getting around it: a more sustainable future will be a battery-powered one. Without batteries to store energy, renewables are about as reliable as the weather. Still, building the batteries we'll need to slow down the climate crisis comes with its own costs. As Wil S. Hylton writes in The Atlantic, the world is poised to start mining the deepest depths of the ocean before we've even had a chance to understand what might be lost. Here's where things stand now — to make the batteries that power our electric vehicles, computers, and smartphones, we need cobalt and other metals. Google, Apple, Dell, Microsoft, and Tesla are defendants in a suit filed this month alleging that the companies are in part responsible for the... |
| For the holidays, astronauts baked cookies in space that they won’t actually eat Posted: 26 Dec 2019 01:34 PM PST  This Christmas season, astronauts aboard the International Space Station got into the holiday spirit by baking cookies for Santa in microgravity. Yet neither Santa nor the astronauts will be able to enjoy the baked cookies, since making them was part of a science experiment, designed to test a new oven on the orbital lab. Instead, the cookies will remain sealed and uneaten, only to be returned to Earth later on for analysis. The cookies were made possible thanks to a newly developed space oven sent to the ISS in early November, aboard a Cygnus cargo spacecraft made by Northrop Grumman. The blue, cylindrical oven is the product of a New York-based startup called Zero G Kitchen and space technology developer Nanoracks, with ingredients... |
| Electric bikes and scooters will stay illegal in New York thanks to Governor Cuomo Posted: 26 Dec 2019 01:15 PM PST  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has vetoed a bill that would have made electric scooters and bikes legal in the state, citing the lack of a mandatory helmet requirement and other safety concerns. The veto means e-bikes and e-scooters will continue to remain technically illegal across the state, and will further delay any adoption of popular (if polarizing) shared mobility services like Lime or Bird. The bill to legalize e-bikes and e-scooters was passed in June with overwhelming support, clearing the state Senate by a 56-6 margin and the state Assembly by a 137-4 margin. But state lawmakers reportedly waited to send the bill to Cuomo until this week out of concern that he would try to stand in the way of the proposal. Cuomo has voiced... |
| Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker more than sidelined Kelly Marie Tran’s character Posted: 26 Dec 2019 10:41 AM PST  Photo: Disney / Lucasfilm Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker director J.J. Abrams once praised The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson for introducing Kelly Marie Tran's Rose Tico to the Star Wars universe, calling it "the greatest thing" Johnson did. Yet Tran's character reportedly received approximately 76 seconds of screen time within The Rise of Skywalker's runtime of two hours and twenty minutes. It became apparent to anyone who watched The Rise of Skywalker that Rose Tico, a main character in The Last Jedi, was benched throughout the new film. Slate writer Violet Kim watched the film with a stopwatch, noting every time Tico appeared on screen. Kim noted that she tried to be "as generous" as possible, including scenes like "at the end where she hugs Chewbacca at... |
| Teslasuit’s new VR gloves let you feel virtual objects and track your pulse Posted: 26 Dec 2019 10:32 AM PST  Teslasuit Teslasuit — known for its full-body haptic feedback suit — is introducing a glove that can let users feel virtual textures and gather biometric data. The device is called simply the "Teslasuit Glove," and it will debut at CES in January, with the goal of shipping by the second half of 2020. Like the Teslasuit, the Teslasuit Glove is meant for training, medical rehabilitation, and other professional applications. It combines several different technologies to simultaneously create the impression of touching and holding objects, capture the motion of users' hands, and record pulse and other biometric information. The gloves can also be paired with the suit over Wi-Fi to offer nearly full-body motion capture or haptic feedback for virtual... |
| There’s a robot cat you can back on Kickstarter Posted: 26 Dec 2019 08:00 AM PST  Image: Elephant Robotics You may have heard of Aibo, Sony's robot dog, but if a robot cat is what you've always wanted, you're now able to back one on Kickstarter. In fact, it actually looks kind of cute. MarsCat, made by Elephant Robotics, looks a lot like a cat, but it's not realistic enough that you'll be fooled into thinking it's a replacement for a furry feline that might already wander around your house. But it seems as if Elephant Robotics is trying to give MarsCat a lot of cat-like mannerisms, and it can apparently do things like bat at toys, stretch its front two feet out, and even accept chin rubs! Aw. MarsCat comes in white, gray, ginger, and black, and it's outfitted with six capacitive touch sensors, a... |
| YouTube gives creators more control over copyright claim disputes with new update Posted: 26 Dec 2019 07:50 AM PST  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge YouTube's recent Studio update is finally giving people an easier way to deal with copyright claim disputes. The new update now lets creators address copyright disputes directly from their digital back-end workspace and gives them the option to trim out the claimed content in question. The "Assisted Trim" option is the biggest feature rolling out with the new Studio update, with the "endpoints of the edit pre-set to where the claimed content appears in the video," according to a Google product blog. The team is working to allow adjustable endpoints so creators can cut out the specific portion of their video that makes the most sense, but that isn't available just yet. Copyright disputes between creators and... |
