POP Science





A new technology allows researchers to write on water. The AMOEBA (Advanced Multiple Organised Experimental Basin), a tank created by Mitsui Engineering forms letters with standing waves. This remarkable display device consists of f0 water-wave generators surrounding a five feet wide and a foot deep cylindrical tank. The wave generators move vertically to produce cylindrical waves. These “pixels”, four inches in diameter and 1.5 inches in height, form lines and shapes. AMOEBA can form all Roman alphabet, as well as some kanji characters. Each letter takes fifteen seconds to produce.

After reading this so call POP Science thing, it seems to a Machinr Core place on table and some stuff inside it.

So it should named as Flux Science rather than POP Science, Ms Kaur.
