“Ahoy there,” says a playfully nautical Alexa when you ask her for information about the Washington State Ferries. It’s a skill that Blink UX, the Seattle-based user experience firm, developed for Amazon’s...
Ever wanted an in-house microscope for all your
home science needs? Search no longer.
Seattle’s Museum of History and Industry will be hosting their April Maker Day event this Saturday, April 30th. Museum visitors can create homemade devices that will turn any smartphone into a microscope, no skill necessary.
This all-ages event features minds from...
Last year, the FBI flew a fleet of drones (a.k.a “unmanned aerial vehicles”) over Seattle and other cities. They were equipped with cameras capable of snapping thousands of high-resolution photographs, and may have carried...
It hasn’t been a great past few months for DraftKings and FanDuel, but Monday brought good news for the daily fantasy sports giants.
Virginia became the first state to effectively legalize daily fantasy games on Monday after Gov. Terry McAuliffe signed legislation that creates a legal framework for the...
Precision laser spectroscopy of cold and trapped molecular ions is a powerful tool in fundamental physics—used, for example, in determining fundamental constants, testing for their possible variation in the laboratory, and searching for a possible electric dipole moment of the electron. However, the absence of cycling transitions in molecules poses a challenge for direct laser cooling of the ions, and for controlling and detecting...
