Nuclear Reactor AI monitoring system
I built a nuclear reactor AI monitoring system using teachable machine. It is pretty accurate, and there are two classes: Working, which means that it matches the training data that shows functioning nuclear reactors, and Failing which means that it is in danger (from natural disasters) or that it isn’t functioning properly. This is the Continue reading

The real life vibranium (Thought version 1)
You know vibranium, right? Mythical marvel material? I found it. You probably are thinking that I am about to tell you about Graphene, Borophene, or some material that is nearly impossible to make. But you can buy most of the materials for this off of Amazon. But first, meet Soberthane, nitinol, and Carbon Nanotubes (the Continue reading

The material that is outshining Graphene
Does everyone here know about graphene? For reference, it’s one of the strongest materials in the world. It is the strongest material by tensile strength, and is 200 times stronger than steel. It is also a superconductor at 1.2 Kelvin and the most conductive material in the world. What else? It’s also flexible and transparent. Continue reading

Antimatter, nuclear fusion, and the future of energy
Energy is… mass. Mass is… energy. There is no essential distinction. They are separated by nothing but the speed of light squared in the famous equation E = MC^2. So, how do we harness this for energy? There are two different ways to do this. One is nuclear fusion, and the other is antimatter. Let’s Continue reading
