Its raining diamonds on Uranus and Neptune.

People often talk about it "raining money" or getting "pennies from heaven." In reality, if riches did fall from the sky, you'd be too busy running for your life to appreciate your good fortune. That's exactly what happens on Uranus and Neptune, two of the most mysterious planets in our solar system. Scientists say that they have solid diamond rain. The first thing you notice about Uranus and Neptune is that they're blue. That comes from the fact that along with hydrogen and helium, their atmospheres have large amounts of methane. Scientists think that when lightning storms strike clouds of methane (good ol' CH4), carbon atoms break away from their chemical bonds and float through the air by themselves. These lonely carbon atoms begin to collect in clouds of soot that sink into the lower reaches of the atmosphere, where the pressure and temperature around them steadily rises. Eventually, the forces become so great that the carbon atoms squeeze

A new Superconductive "Skin" gives Robots a Sense of Touch!!! YOU GOT THE TOUCH A team of researchers from the University of Houston have created a new type of “skin” that allows robotic limbs to feel hot and cold. While still in development, it could potentially give those with prosthetic limbs the ability to feel again, as well as lead to more advanced medical equipment. Assistant Professor of mechanical engineering Cunjiang Yu and his team worked on the project, with their findings published in the journal  Science Advances. As the team explains, most semiconductors — both organic and inorganic — are mechanically nonstretchable, which makes this discovery all the more impressive. Their research has produced “the first semiconductor in rubber composite format that enables stretchability without any special mechanical structure,” said Yu. The artificial skin was made using a silicon-based polymer known as polydimethylsiloxane, or PDMS, and a hardened mate

How to disable the annoying Bixby button of samsung

Samsung finally lets you disable the annoying Bixby button Samsung first introduced its new bixby voice assistant earlier this year on the Galaxy S8 with a dedicated button on the handset. The Galaxy Note 8 also includes the Bixby button, but Samsung has refused to allow owners of both devices to customize the button and change it from the digital assistant to something more useful. The Galaxy S8 maker even went as far as blocking third party apps from unlocking the button, a move that has frustrated many S8 owners.http://z-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/onejs?MarketPlace=US&adInstanceId=17f3ed02-ec6c-47b3-be73-3de7bb629696 Samsung is backing down slightly today, thanks to an update that lets Galaxy S8 and Note 8 owners stop the Bixby button from launching Bixby Home. The update doesn’t appear to be available on every device, but sammobile  has noticed   it’s slowly rolling out to existing handsets. The option to disable the Bixby button will be a welcome addition fo
