Meet Jibo, the worlds first family robot built by MITs social robotics master
2014-07-16 18:41:18| Extremetech
Cynthia Breazeal, an MIT professor and one of the pioneers of social robotics, has unveiled "the world's first family robot." Called Jibo, the all-white desktop-sitting robot has more than a passing resemblance to a certain robot from a recent animated Pixar movie. The robot, which will cost around $500 when it's released, will have a range of abilities that will hopefully make it the perfect companion to have around the house -- such as telling stories to kids, automatically taking photos when you pose, easy messaging and video calling, providing reminders for calendar entries, and companionship through emotional interaction.

Its like staring into a black hole: Worlds darkest material will be used to make very stealthy aircraft, better telescopes
2014-07-14 15:26:39| Extremetech
At a nondescript industrial park in south England, scientists have created a new super-black material -- fashioned out of carbon nanotubes -- that is so dark it's like "looking at a black hole." The material, called Vantablack, absorbs all but 0.035% of the incident light that bounces off it, meaning your eyes essentially can't see it -- you can only see the space around it, and then infer that there must be something occupying that eerie abyss. Vantablack's first customers are in the defense and space sectors, where the material can be used to make a whole variety of stealth craft and weaponry, and more sensitive telescopes that can detect the faintest of faraway stars.
