Radiation 'Clouds' Detected at Aviation Altitudes

/

A report has discovered the discovery radiation 'clouds' at aviation altitudes.

When airplanes fly through these clouds, dose rates of cosmic radiation normally absorbed by air travelers can double or more.  The study references a flight taken over Antarctica in October 2015, when a sudden spike in the dose rate signaled the airplane's passage through a "radiation cloud."

Semi-Consciously Learn Morse Code

/

By wearing a computer, a scientific report suggests learning morse code can be achieved with little effort.

Based on a study that used mobile devices to deliver the dots and dashes whilst performing everyday tasks.

Googles Glass device was demonstrated delivering the haptic feedback at a wearable computing event in Germany last year.

Ph.D. student Caitlyn Seim and computer science professor Thad Starner of the Georgia Institute of Technology have shared their successful preliminary results
