China has created a drone that can stay in the air indefinitely
Engineers at the Northwestern Polytechnic University in Xianyang (PRC) have presented a drone that, once taking off, theoretically can no longer land. The secret of such phenomenal capabilities lies in the remote charging system from a ground-mounted laser that tracks the aircraft. The “fuel tank” of the drone in this case is a photoelectric converter […]
Toroidal propellers – an engineering revolution in aviation and shipbuilding
A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology empirically selected the shape of a toroidal screw, which creates the lowest sound volume in the frequency range of 1-5 kHz. This is the most sensitive area for the human ear – babies cry at this frequency and nasty multicopter motors screech. The latter became […]
Google’s AI can compose music in any genre from a textual description
Google recently announced the MusicLM artificial intelligence system , capable of composing music in any genre from textual descriptions. AI not only combines genres and instruments, but also writes tracks with the help of abstract concepts that computers usually “digest” with difficulty. MusicLM successfully synthesizes several genres in one work, for example, it can combine […]
