Naturally, when you think of IKEA you think of all those hours of “engineering” while trying to assemble your new wardrobe. Well now, thanks to college student Ryan Schlotthauer you’ll be able to create a whole host of new nightmares, not building furniture, but by building a car. Schlotthauer has come upwith an IKEA concept car that promises to be an inexpensive and sustainable urban commuter. The car is called “Höga” and waspresented on the social media platformBehance....

I’m not sure what podcasts Elon Musk listens to. But I hope he caught Kara Swisher’s “Sway” today, because it definitely concerns him. Apple CEO Tim Cook joined Swisher and the two discussed, among other things, the mysterious Apple Car. Details are scarce and I’ll be right up front: Cook didn’t give away anything big or make any firm statements. But he did dance around the topic enough to leave a few impressions behind....

Space colonization is something that people have dreamed about since the moon landing, and is in fact considered a priority for the future of mankind by leading scientists. Unfortunately, we’ve all but ignored space colonization and the development of its technologies in recent decades, though there have been a myriad of developments that weren’t intended to advance the cause that will do just that. Aerospace advances, submarines that humans can survive in for months at a time autonomously and experiments like the Biodome have all led to uncovering pieces of the puzzle....

Brain-computer interfaces are slowly beginning to take form, and here at Neural we couldn’t be more excited! Elon Musk’sNeuralinkclaims it’s on the cusp of a working device andFacebook’sbeen developing non-invasive BCI tech for years. If everything goes according to plan, we could be wearing doo-dads or getting chip implants that allow us tocontrol machines with our mindsin a decade or less. That’s a pretty cool idea and there are innumerable uses for such a device, but who knows howusefulthey’ll actually be in the beginning....

What would happen to you if you fell into a black hole? Death by black hole Black holes are expected to form when a massive star dies. After the star’s nuclear fuel is exhausted, its core collapses to the densest state of matter imaginable, a hundred times denser than an atomic nucleus. That’s so dense that protons, neutrons, and electrons are no longer discrete particles. Since black holes are dark, they are found whenthey orbit a normal star....
