NASA’s LunaRecycle

Unknown августа 17, 2025 0

NASA is continually working on solutions for recycling material waste on deep space missions. They’re currently entering Phase 2 of the LunaRecycle challenge.

The LunaRecycle Challenge is a $3 million, two track, two-phase competition focused on the design and development of recycling solutions that can reduce non-metabolic waste and improve the sustainability of longer-term lunar missions.

NASA is committed to sustainable space exploration. As we prepare for future human space missions, there will be a need to consider how various waste streams, including non-metabolic waste, can be minimized—as well as how recyclables can be stored, processed, and repurposed in a space environment so that little or no waste will need to be returned to Earth.

Unsung Voices of the Village

Unknown августа 16, 2025 0

PBS shares some of the unsung artists who were part of the 60s Village scene.

Greenwich Village in the 1960s was home to a counterculture folk music scene that produced legendary artists like Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Janis Joplin and Joni Mitchell. A network of cafes and bars that doubled as music venues—including Gaslight Café, Kettle of Fish, Café Wha? and others—gave way to international stages, mainstream fame and an enduring legacy for a select few.

But there are many other musicians who passed through those New York City clubs whose names you might not be as familiar with. These are just a few of their stories.

UPDATED PRODUCT – 2.13″ 212×104 Flexible Monochrome / 4-Gray eInk ePaper Display – ILI0373 Chipset

Unknown августа 13, 2025 0

UPDATED PRODUCT – 2.13″ 212×104 Flexible Monochrome / 4-Gray eInk ePaper Display – ILI0373 Chipset

Woah, the cyber-future is here! Flexible E-Ink has been demo’d at high-tech events for years but now you can actually get your paws on it. This display is true E-Ink / E-Paper, once an image is displayed it will stay even once you remove all power. The image is also high contrast and very daylight readable. It really does look just like printed paper!

This flexible display sports a 2.13″ monochrome or 4-grayscale display. It has 212×104 ink pixels on a white-ish background. The ILI0373 chipset we now use does have some basic grayscale so you can have white, light gray, dark gray and black. The monochrome displays take only a couple of seconds to update.

Please note: this display is flexible but that doesn’t mean you can constantly flex it. The video above showing a hand twisting the display is a looped demo, not an instructional video.

These displays should not be flexed/moved during a display update, you’ll get odd effects.
Continuously flexing it will eventually damage the display.
There’s no specification for how many times it can be flexed, so keep it minimal!
We recommend affixing the display to a stable backing to reduce stresses. E.g. it can be attached to a stiff curved bracelet to make a watch.
Don’t flex where the orange connector cable meets the eInk display – the chip is very delicate and you could crack the connections
You can flex the orange connector cable a few times, it’s made of flex PCB with a 2-3mm radius.
You can flex the eInk display with, perhaps, a 10mm radius… this isn’t documented, just experimental!

Using our CircuitPython or Arduino libraries, you can create a ‘frame buffer’ with what pixels you want to have activated and then write that out to the display. The library we wrote does all the work for you, you can just interface with it as if it were an Adafruit_GFX compatible display.

Note: This is just the display. You’ll want your own eInk Breakout Friend too!

New Learn Guide: Speech Synthesis On Raspberry Pi w/ KittenTTS #Weather #AdafruitLearningSystem @Adafruit

Unknown августа 12, 2025 0

Raspberry Pi 5 demonstrating KittenTTS with Adafruit Voice Bonnet connected and two speakers connected to the bonnet via JST connections.

With the brand new lightweight KittenTTS model it’s possible synthesize text into speech on lower end CPU only hardware like the Raspberry Pi 5. This means you can add some decent sounding English speech to your project without having to deal with network connections, API keys, pay-per-use pricing models, or relying on cloud providers using power hungry GPUs.

This project illustrates how to get started with KittenTTS by making a basic app to read aloud weather forecasts which are pulled from the National Weather Service API. Once you learn the basics you can apply them to add speech output to whatever great project you’ve got in the works.

We’ve tested KittenTTS successfully on the Raspberry Pi 4, and Pi 5. As expected, the Pi 5 is able to generate audio faster than the Pi 4.

Nigerian Science Fiction #SpaceSaturday

Unknown августа 10, 2025 0

What is the history of Nigerian science fiction, fantasy, and speculative fiction? What role did the CIA play in the development of novels in Nigeria? How does Things Fall Apart fit in? Here’s a fascinating conversation with Chukwunonso Ezeiyoke, author of Nigerian Speculative Fiction: The Evolution (2025), from Science Fiction and Other Suspect Ruminations:

First, a point of clarification: you use the term “speculative fiction” as your operative generic category. What is your definition? What does it encompass?

fantasy, horror, and science fiction have their unique aesthetics that differ from one another. For instance, I follow Carl Freedman’s definition in the monograph regarding the distinction between science fiction…. However, I read all of them together in the book as speculative fiction…many Nigerian writers, such as Akwaeke Emezi and Chigozie Obioma, are not happy to be called speculative writers, as they argue that their worldbuilding is not made up, unlike Tolkien’s in his books, but rather based on reality from the viewpoint of their own cosmology. What a defining speculative text from the lens of ontology helps me do is to respect the Igbo culture from which it is written. Yes, their texts are based on the reality of their culture, rather than being made up, like Tolkien’s world. However, as long as the explanation of reality in their texts extends beyond the current human episteme, it falls within the realm of metaphysical knowledge. Thus, that knowledge is ontological and therefore part of a speculative tradition.

This formulation is not just applicable to African literature, but also to Western fiction. For instance, those within Christian cosmology see the existence of a devil as a reality. Even though the devil is a reality to people within Christian cosmology, it is an ontological concept because it lies outside the current human episteme, which encompasses things that can be explained within the human intellect. To say that texts like Akwaeke Emezi’s Freshwater (2018), which is based in Igbo cosmology, are ontological texts, like Tolkien’s, whose worldbuilding is made up, is not to equate both texts, but to map out their shared character as ontological texts.

Mini-Lungs Built From Stem Cells

Using stem cells, UCLA researchers have successfully grown miniature lungs with functioning blood vessel networks.

The groundbreaking work, detailed in Cell, marks the first time scientists have created lung organoids with integrated vascular systems that closely mirror how lungs develop in the human body. The advance opens the door to potentially growing other vascularized organ models, including intestines and colons, providing unprecedented tools for studying diseases, testing drugs and developing personalized treatments.

“The earliest stages of human development are still a black box in many ways,” said senior author Dr. Mingxia Gu, a member of the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA. “This new method to vascularize lung organoids chips away at this black box by better recapitulating the natural organ development process.”
