We won’t get foiled again. Americans think nothing of using aluminum foil to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner — but there are some risks involved, according to food safety experts.

Why it matters: Silicon transistors are great, but just like any other object in the physical world, they are held back by a few limitations. The laws of physics put a bottleneck on performance ...

MIT researchers have developed a new type of 3D transistor that could be more energy-efficient and powerful than current silicon-based transistors. The novel 3D transistors have been designed ...

But there’s never been a foil like the one beneath Red Bull athlete Peter Salzmann’s wingsuit. It helped the Austrian smash records for unpowered human flight. A wingsuit is a one-piece ...

The never-before-seen technology is the result of collaborative development between Salzmann and wingsuit foil developer Andreas Podlipnik, as well as support from the engineering team at Red Bull ...

Neon lamps are fun to play with. These old-school indicators were once heavily utilized in many types of equipment for indication purposes but now seem largely relegated to mains voltage ...

Not discouraged by having forgotten his antenna, he kludges up a makeshift one using a 20 cm length of aluminum foil (see video demonstration below the break). [David] wasn’t completely ...

The bright-field nature of the illumination used in this design allows images to be captured with sub-millisecond exposure times. The camera is synchronized with the LED array via a ...
