A good jig saw has multiple orbital settings that allow you to adjust the tool for better accuracy. This Black & Decker model has four orbital settings that help the saw glide through 45-degree bevel cuts. It also packs 2,500 SPM of cutting power, which is the same as a lot of commercial models on the market. A word of advice: buy the T-shank blades and forego the suggested (and traditional) U-shanks––they’ll be easier to swap out....

Vice President Kamala Harris began the meeting with an overview of the work the administration has done in the past three months and highlighted several developments in the wake of the decision, including a ban on healthcare providers advising students on contraception use at University of Idaho. “One does not have to abandon their faith or beliefs to agree that the government should not make these decisions for women,” she said in her address....

Representatives from each company cited security concerns as a major driver behind the change, linking the use of passwords to phishing, scams, hacking and other security risks. There’s also the pesky problem of having to remember countless logins. These weaknesses have led to a rise in two-factor authentication and password managers in recent years, as well as passkeys that can be utilized across devices. However, experts say this new method will offer an additional level of security by linking logins directly to devices (as opposed to having to send data and authenticate identity via a remote server), plus an ease of implementation since the same standards will work across products....

The CampStove’s orange module houses a thermoelectric element, a battery, a fan, and a microprocessor. The microprocessor tweaks power distribution as needed to charge the battery or connected device. When you burn wood in the chamber, a copper probe transfers heat to one side of the element, while on the other side cool air provides a differential that enables ions to jump sides and generate electricity. The electricity powers a fan that pushes air through vents that stoke a vortex of wood blaze....

Force Block for Chrome warns you of sites that may contain Star Wars Episode 7: The Force Awakens coverage—including, but not limited to, spoilers. Tech sites, movie sites and more that have covered Star Wars Episode 7 in the past will be prime suspects on this list—including our site. According to the extension page, Force Block detects spoilers using “smart pattern detection and a whitelist for false alarms.” Along with preventing you from seeing spoilers, the extension will provide a quote from one of the six movies in the colors and fonts fans know and love....

In our experimental system, we use an off-the-shelf kite about 20 square feet in area. We’ve flown it about 300 feet. As the wind blows the kite higher, it unspools the kite’s tethers, turning the motors and generating power. The motors use regenerative braking (the same kind of system that recaptures braking energy in a hybrid car) to control the length of the tethers and steer the kite in a precise figure-eight pattern that keeps it perpendicular to the wind....

Last week, Boeing engineers tested out CHAMP–Counter-electronics High-powered Advanced Missile Project–on buildings in the Utah desert. In the first test, the missile sailed over a two-story building, then let loose microwaves to shut down a very ’90s-looking room full of computers. The TV cameras set up to record the test got knocked out, too, and six more were hit by missiles during the one-hour test. The big draw for this, of course, is that it makes battles less messy by focusing on the electronic component instead of the human one....

By the time you read this, a strong electric field will have begun to strip the electrons away from the protons in that hydrogen gas. Radio waves will push the protons, naked and charged, forward, accelerating them through the first of what can reasonably be called the most impressive series of tubes in the known universe (Internet be damned, Senator Stevens). The tubes in this Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have one purpose: Pump ever more energy into these protons, push them hard against Einstein’s insurmountable cosmic speed limit ....

In 2013, Charlotte Figi made national news by becoming the youngest patient in Colorado to receive cannabidiol (CBD) therapy to soothe her seizures. The five-year-old had struggled with severe epilepsy since infancy, sometimes experiencing 50 or more episodes a day, with little relief from standard drugs and dietary tweaks. By the time her parents started consulting doctors about CBD extracts, she had difficulty walking, talking, and eating without help. Figi’s neurologist put her on a low dose of a specially bred strain of medical cannabis, later dubbed “Charlotte’s Web....

Researchers from Verve Therapeutics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, launched the first clinical trial last week of a new gene-editing technique that could help lower adult cholesterol levels. By making targeted changes to the DNA of a protein that regulates blood cholesterol levels, the experimental method may permanently lower cholesterol and slash patients’ risk of heart attacks. The study, which involves 40 participants, will be followed by another clinical trial slated to begin later this year for sickle-cell disease....

According to an executive at Ehang UAVs, which provided the swarm, each drone cost $1,500, which is pretty darn cheap considering their capabilities. Take, for instance, the datalink and software used. It lets more than 1,000 flying robots coordinate autonomously and synchronize movements, with a flight deviancy of a mere 2 centimeters horizontally and 1 centimeter vertically. If something goes wrong and a drone can’t reach its programmed position, it automatically lands....

Known as the “Red Banner,” the HQ-9 SAM is China’s indigenous long range air defense system, complementing Russian made S-300 missiles. The system is mounted on an 8×8 wheeled truck, each carrying 4 missiles. The missile itself has a top speed of Mach 4.2, range of 200km and a flight ceiling of roughly 27-30km. In addition to the ability to target aircraft, drones and cruise missiles, the HQ-9 also has a limited anti-ballistic missile and anti-surface capability....

The hull in the Dalian Shipyard,with its high number of watertight bulkheads and compartments, has long been the subject of speculation due to its resilient construction and the prominent “no photography” signs around its drydock. In photos that appeared on Oct 24, the shipyard installed a module on top of the hull, with a clear 7.5 meter high, 27 meter across room, which is almost certainly a hangar for aircraft....

Electro-optical devices like cameras and infrared sensors generally observe only one band in the electromagnetic spectrum, i.e. cameras observe the band visible to human eyesight and infrared cameras view the infrared band. Hyperspectral cameras and sensors, on the other hand, can simultaneously view hundreds of electromagnetic bands for a single image, building a layered ‘cube’ of the image in different electromagnetic wavelengths. The use of such a wide range of wavelengths provides the ability to observe objects which conceal their emissions in one part of the spectrum (i....
