Scanadu Creates World’s First Star Trek-Style Medical Tricorder
Scanadu, a startup based at the NASA Ames Research Center, has made the science-fiction of Star Trek a reality by creating a non-invasive tricorder that, within 10 seconds, can gather medical information about a person and then relay it to their smartphone.
NASA's Landsat satellite looks for a cloud-free view
For decades, Landsat satellites have documented the desiccation of the Aral Sea in Central Asia. Once one of the largest seas in the world, it shrunk to a tenth of its original volume after Russia diverted its feeder rivers in the 1960s. Show More Summary

NASA Funding 3D Food Printer Research (The Replicator!?)
Good news, guys. There'll be pizza on Mars.
Pizza printouts? NASA funds project to make space meals with 3-D printer
NASA won't be printing out pizzas on Mars anytime soon, but the space agency is planning to pay out $125,000 to study the use of 3-D printing technology for food preparation in space. "We will be building the components for a prototype" over the grant's six-month period, David Ir …

Open source hardware 3D printer for pizza-on-demand
A mechanical engineer (awesomely) named Anjan Contractor has won a NASA grant to prototype a 3D printer for food -- specifically pizza. It will lay down layers of food and flavor powder and melt them together; the powders are room-temperature stable for long periods and can be made from relatively abundant, sustainable foodstocks like insects [...]
Moon or Asteroid? Congress Debates Best Pit Stop to Mars
NASA's plan to lasso an asteroid for astronauts as a deep-space dry run for a future mission to Mars has some members of Congress wondering if the space agency would be better off setting its sights on the moon instead.
The asteroid mission was announced when President Barack Obama unveiled his 2014 NASA budget request. Show More Summary
NASA's Barrel Mission launches 20 balloons
A team of scientists recently launched 20 balloons during a campaign in Antarctica to study a space weather phenomenon, during which electrons stream down toward the poles from two gigantic donuts of radiation, the Van Allen Belts, which surround Earth. read more

Printable Food To End Hunger? No.
NASA and printable food. I can’t stop thinking about the Jetsons enjoying their utopian food pills. Which never happened, of course, because it’s a dumb idea. Printable food doesn’t sound all that much more appealing than those Jetsons food pills. But the stories deal with that issue – “If eating something spat out by the […]
NASA Funding 3-D Printed Pizza Made From Bugs
Nothing can top astronaut ice cream.
It won't be long before we can travel into space for $200,000 and solve global hunger by printing healthy pizza made with grass and insects. NASA has given mechanical engineer Anjan Contractor a $125,000 grant to create a prototype for a food synthesizer that uses his 3-D printing technology. Show More Summary
