Architects in Amsterdam have begun construction on what they're calling the first full-sized 3D-printed house. Using what's essentially a large-scale version of a desktop 3D printer, Dus Architects is building what will eventually be a 13-room Dutch canal house made of interlocking plastic parts. The project was announced earlier this year — part proof of concept, part art project. After about three weeks of work, The Guardian reports, one three-meter-high corner segment has been produced. The interior and facade are printed as part of the same brick, and spaces are left for wiring and pipes; for now, the walls are later filled with concrete for insulation and reinforcement. The entire process of printing and assembling the house is...

An innovative new robot control system will be huddled inside the European Space Agency's next ship heading to the International Space Station. It's a joystick that is designed to remotely control robots from space with a particular emphasis on haptic feedback. A haptic-feedback joystick seems like a simple enough thing — but few things are as simple as they appear in zero gravity. To compensate for the effects of zero-g, the joystick can be mounted to the space station or, as pictured above, directly to the astronaut. The haptic feedback is important for enabling precise and complex controls of remote robots — so that their human operators can use their sense of touch to perform tasks.
The experimental model is designed to...

Above, you will find a crop of the new, official poster for Sharknado 2: the second one. It stars Tara Reid and is the followup to the original, which became a darling of the internet for a brief time, probably because the rest of cable television completely lost its sense of humor sometime around Season 2 of The Walking Dead. SyFy — whose tagline "Imagine Greater" has become masterful commentary on the complex interplay between genuine heartfelt enthusiasm for campy shows and the pointless, empty core of all creative human endeavors — has announced that this sequel will air on July 30th at 9pm ET, which is one day earlier than originally planned.
Below, you will find the entire poster, uncropped, so that you are able to count how...
