Scientists at MIT have designed an ingenious new concept for a battery that operates on the same fundamental principal as an hourglass—it relies on gravity to generate energy. They described the device in a recent paper forEnergy and Environmental Science. The fundamental concept of a battery is quite simple. There is a positive and negative…

Can We Create Artificial Gravity?
Yes, we can. We can totally create the artificial gravity seen in movies like2001: A Space Odyssey or Elysium, it’ll just cost a lot of freaking money and require a lot of freaking resources. Real Engineering explains how centrifugal force works as artificial gravity and estimates (using math cribbed from how much the ISS costs)…
