DIY FTW. There was a DIY MRI project I remember reading about, I’ll try and find the link.
Many people are interested in what is called neurofeedback or EEG biofeedback training, a generic mental training method which makes the trainee consciously aware of the general activity in the brain. This method shows great potential for […]

I can’t wait until data starts streaming back from this device. Prepare for an unprecedented view of the universe …
A week after launch, NASA’s Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope, or GLAST, is safely up-and-running well in orbit approximately 350 miles (565 kilometers) above the Earth’s surface.
GLAST was successfully launched aboard a Delta II rocket […]
The Gamma Ray Large Area Telescope (GLAST) is an astounding mission to explore the most extreme environments in the universe, search for signs of new laws of physics, what composes the mysterious dark matter, and secrets found in gamma ray explosions.

The Milky Way is a large place, and getting all the stars together, even from just the inner galaxy, for a family photo requires a big canvas. The imaging team from the Spitzer Space Telescope today unveiled the largest, highest resolution infrared picture ever taken of the Milky Way.

Explanation: Uncomfortably close Typhoon Rammasun (right) and 25 million light-year distant galaxy M101 don’t seem to have much in common. For starters, Rammasun was only a thousand kilometers or so across while M101 (aka the Pinwheel Galaxy) spans about 170,000 light-years, making them vastly dissimilar in scale, not to mention the different physical environments that […]
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) successfully captured a movie of the “Full Earth-Rise”*1 using the onboard High Definition Television (HDTV) of the lunar explorer “KAGUYA ” (SELENE) on April 6, 2008 (Japan Standard Time, JST, all the following dates and time are JST.) The KAGUYA is currently flying in […]
NBF carries the story.
No matter how powerful a conventional lens, it cannot focus light down to more than about half its wavelength, the “diffraction limit”. This limits the amount of data that can be stored on a CD, and the size of features on computer chips.
Researchers have devised ways to beat the diffraction limit before, […]
