How NASA Solved a $100 Million Problem for Five Bucks

A few years ago, back when the Constellation Program was still alive, NASA engineers discovered that the Ares I rocket had a crucial flaw, one that could have jeopardized the entire project. They panicked.

Visualized: this gel-filled Sprint head is testing all sorts of futurephones

Chamber testing is most certainly nothing new for your average carrier — every one of the big boys here in the States already does something similar to this — but it’s not often that we’re given an inside look at what exactly happens within those elusive doors. During a recent Sprint campus walkthrough , we peeked into the carrier’s network development lab for a glimpse at what it takes to certify a phone for use on its network. Granted, the vast majority of Sprint’s testing is done elsewhere across the industry, and we were informed that the yellow dome shown above is actually a minty fresh model that includes “gel” within its borders, seemingly to produce a more realistic testing ground

Microsoft shutters Pioneer Studios, we pour one out for J Allard

It’s been about a year since he left Microsoft, but the J Allard era came to a more definitive close yesterday, with the shuttering of his brainchild, Pioneer Studios.

Researchers create functioning human lung on a microchip

Researchers at Harvard University have successfully created a functioning, respirating human ‘lung’ on a chip in a lab. Made using human and blood vessel cells and a microchip, the translucent lung is far simpler in terms of observation than traditional, actual human lungs (for obvious reasons), in a small convenient package about the size of a pencil eraser. The researchers have demonstrated its effectiveness and are now moving toward showing its ability to replicate gas exchange between lung cells and the bloodstream
