Bengaluru Startup’s Robot Can Cook 120 Delicious Meals In 3 Easy Steps
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: food, habitats, robotics/AI
Imagine returning home from your evening walk or gym to the aroma of freshly cooked kadhai paneer or chicken curry, which instantly reminds you of home. Now, what if you were to know that it was no human that lovingly prepared this piping hot and delicious meal, but rather, a machine?
From booking cabs to ordering food right at your doorstep, technology makes human lives easy. So it’s about time it saves humans from having to cook after a long tiring day at work, or at times when you’re just not in the mood to enter the kitchen.
The NOSH device, developed by the Euphotic Labs, was conceived by Yatin Varachhia, co-founder of the Bengaluru-based startup. The 34-year-old says the inspiration to build a device stemmed from his struggle of having good food.

The Challenges of Building Human Habitats in Space
Posted by Kelvin Dafiaghor in categories: habitats, space
In October of 2021, NASA’s next-generation infrared observatory, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), will be launched. As the most advanced and complex space telescope ever built, the James Webb will characterize exoplanets, explore our Solar System, and address the deepest cosmological mysteries of all.

A Giant Planet Seems to Be Lurking Unseen in Our Solar System
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: habitats, space
Our Solar System is a pretty busy place. There are millions of objects moving around – everything from planets, to moons, to comets, and asteroids. And each year we’re discovering more and more objects (usually small asteroids or speedy comets) that call the Solar System home.
Astronomers had found all eight of the main planets by 1846. But that doesn’t stop us from looking for more. In the past 100 years, we’ve found smaller distant bodies we call dwarf planets, which is what we now classify Pluto as.

Look inside the world’s largest 3D-printed neighborhood in Texas
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: habitats, materials
The world’s largest community of 3D-printed homes is being built in Texas — and the neighborhood just unveiled its first completed house.
With walls “printed” using a concrete-based material, the single-story structure is the first of 100 such homes set to welcome residents starting September.
The community is part of a wider development in Georgetown, Texas called Wolf Ranch. It’s located about 30 miles north of Austin, the state capital, and is a collaboration between Texas construction firm ICON, homebuilding company Lennar and Danish architecture practice Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG).

Mind-reading machines are coming — how can we keep them in check?
Posted by Joseph Barney in categories: habitats, neuroscience
Regulate scientists for hire and corporations especially. Regulate everyone as religion could be used as an excuse from exemption. There’s a local motorcycle gang that set to their club house in the town I live and it was listed as a religion. That’s a loophole.
Devices that can record and change brain activity will create privacy issues that challenge existing human-rights legislation, say researchers.

A fusion rocket designed to travel 500,000 mph is under construction
Posted by Kelvin Dafiaghor in categories: habitats, health, space travel
A British aerospace startup is working on a fusion rocket it says will slash the amount of time it takes astronauts to travel to Mars and beyond — allowing humans to explore places that are currently far out of reach.
The challenge: Long-term exposure to microgravity and cosmic radiation can cause serious health issues for astronauts. That means NASA needs to keep its future Mars missions short enough that astronauts come home healthy — less than 4 years should work.
Using our current rocket propulsion technology, though, it’s going to take seven months just to get astronauts to Mars. Factor in the amount of time to get back to Earth, and nearly a third of a Mars astronaut’s mission is just going to be dedicated to the commute.

Operable screens wrap beachfront house in Hawaii by Olson Kundig
Posted by Kelvin Dafiaghor in category: habitats
US studio Olson Kundig Architects has utilised a variety of wooden storm shutters and deep roof overhangs for a Hawaiian holiday home called Hale Napo’o.
Hale Napo’o, which translates to Sunset House, is located on the northern coast of Kauai, an island in the Hawaiian archipelago.
The clients desired a family retreat that opened up to the landscape and ushered in breezes from Hanalei Bay.
