Time-Lapse Video Shows Construction Of New York's Tallest Tower



Time-Lapse Video Shows Construction Of New York's Tallest Tower -- The Telegraph

A time-lapse video recorded over a seven-year period was released on Monday as One World Trade Center was officially recognised as the tallest skyscraper in New York City.

The two-minute recording details the construction of the tower from its bare concrete foundations in 2004 to the monumental glass tower as it stands today.

The milestone was recognised as workers erected a 12-ton steel column onto the top deck of the building, giving it a height of a little over 1,250ft – marginally taller than the Empire State Building.

Robots On TV: Rescue Bot Knows, Um, What You Mean



From New Scientist:

A robot that can understand plain English and manage a complicated to-do list could soon be the hero of search and rescue missions.

Most robots that can recognise speech only respond to pre-determined instructions. For example, some powered wheelchairs respond to spoken directions, but only when certain words are spoken clearly. In the real world, that's not how humans communicate. Our speech is peppered with "disfluencies" – the "umms", "ahs" and stutters of everyday language. If we want to successfully speak to robots in real-life situations – such as search and rescue missions, where noise and stress might get in the way of clarity – robots need to understand these complications.

Video: Simulation Renders Entire Known Universe



From Popular Science:

Everyone loves a good road movie, whether it's Hope and Crosby or Fonda and Hopper. But the scope of those films pales in comparison to the ground covered by the Hayden Planetarium's new video, The Known Universe. The video starts in Tibet and zooms out through time and space until it shows well, the entire known universe.

Top 10 Cyborg Videos



From Wired Science:


With each passing year, the boundary between man and machine gets slimmer. Bionic ears have become commonplace, motorized prosthetics allow wounded soldiers to care for themselves, and electronic eyes are just over the horizon.

Neuroscientists have almost jacked rodents into the matrix: They have used electrodes to read signals from individual mouse brain cells as the critters wandered through a virtual maze. Monkeys can feed themselves with robot arms wired directly into their brains. Here are ten clips of inventions that unite nerves with electronic circuits.

15 Most Explosive Videos On The Internet



From The Telegraph:

From science experiments to building demolitions to nuclear tests, there are few things in life more visually impressive than explosions. Here are 15 of the most dramatic.

1. Blowing an anvil 200ft into the air. This stunt has scant scientific or educational value, but deserves a prominent place on the list for the presenter's coltish enthusiasm for explosions.
