Autonomous Plane from MIT Makes a Parking Garage Into A Slalom Course
Have you ever flown those remote-controlled airplanes and helicopters indoors? If so, you might remember how it may have taken a while to learn the controls properly to get your flying device going forward fast. That, and learning how to avoid any and every obstacle locating inside your house. Thanks to the plane designed by the Robust Robotics Group at MIT, we may in fact have finally found an exception to that. Check out the video after the break. Read the rest of this entry

Nowadays, most computers use a two-step process to cool the CPU (and/or GPU). First, a heat-exchanging thermal paste on the processor draws the heat away from it, then a combination of the heatsink and fans disperses the heat away from the processor. However, how do you feel about this more novel idea of combining those two steps into one? Should this piqué your interest, then you’ll be happy to hear about this spinning cooler that doesn’t just get the job done with fewer parts, but also provides something more valuable in terms of efficiency.
