In many science fiction universes this problem has been addressed by creating ways for people

Putting the “Science” in “Science Fiction” – Robotic Muscles

 Earlier this year I talked about giant robots, and the many technical challenges that have prevented them from being put into production. Although there are many reasons why creating a giant robot is difficult, the major one has always been how to make it move. Robots tend to rely on

Putting the “Science” in “Science Fiction” – Sentry Guns

 Sentry gun is a catchall name for an automated robotic weapon system that is used in a defensive role, either protecting an area from intruders or destroying incoming projectiles. These devices are common in science-fiction and especially video games, and range from the homemade tripod mounted guns built by Team

Putting the “Science” in “Science Fiction” – Giant Robots

 One of the most pervasive figures in technology throughout the history of science-fiction is the giant robot. Although they may be impractical in the real world, there is something about giant walking machines that captures the awe and imagination of people around the world. From H.G. Wells’ Martian tripods to

Putting the “Science” in “Science Fiction” – Nanotech Part 3 – Nanotech Manufacturing

 Nanotechnology offers many possibilities that will change the way people live their daily lives. Out of all these possibilities, the one that will create the most changes is the use of nanotechnology in manufacturing. Most theoretical uses of nanotech manufacturing rely on nanotech's ability to interact with materials on the

Putting the “Science” in “Science Fiction” – Nanotech Part 2: Medical Nanotech

 In an earlier blog, I discussed the field of nanotechnology – the science of manipulating matter on the molecular and atomic scales. Nanotechnology, or nanotech for short, is a field of study that is growing rapidly, and promises to have many far-reaching applications for improving daily life. Although many industries
