Currie routinely uses tech at the edge of human knowledge for story components. In the Expanse novel series, a crystalline sphere the size of Jupiter was found in a white dwarf system, dubbed the Adro Diamond. It was built by the ancient Ring Builder civilization as a massive computer and data storage archive.
Stellaris received "generally favorable" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic. [48] A number of reviews emphasized the game's approachable interface and design, along with a highly immersive and almost RPG-like early game heavily influenced by the player's species design decisions, and also the novelty of the end-game crisis events.
Megascale engineering (or macro-engineering) [1] is a form of exploratory engineering concerned with the construction of structures on an enormous scale. [2] Typically these structures are at least 1,000 km (620 mi) in length—in other words, at least one megameter, hence the name. Such large-scale structures are termed megastructures.
One of the simplest examples of a stellar engine is the Shkadov thruster (named after Dr. Leonid Shkadov, who first proposed it), or a class-A stellar engine. [5] Such an engine is a stellar propulsion system, consisting of an enormous mirror/light sail—actually a massive type of solar statite large enough to classify as a megastructure—which would balance gravitational attraction towards ...
The products of megascale engineering or astroengineering are megastructures. Most megastructure designs could not be constructed with today's level of industrial technology. This makes their design examples of speculative (or exploratory) engineering. Those that could be constructed easily qualify as megaprojects.
An engineering technologist at Intel tests an ultrabook for mechanical shock, using a hydraulic platform to model a 3-foot drop onto concrete. An engineering technologist is a professional trained in certain aspects of development and implementation of a respective area of technology.
Electrical/Electronics engineering technology (EET) is an engineering technology field that implements and applies the principles of electrical engineering. [1] Like electrical engineering, EET deals with the "design, application, installation, manufacturing, operation or maintenance of electrical/electronic(s) systems."
A tetradecahedron with D 2d-symmetry, existing in the Weaire–Phelan structure. A tetradecahedron is a polyhedron with 14 faces.There are numerous topologically distinct forms of a tetradecahedron, with many constructible entirely with regular polygon faces.
