It’s a start-up to help start-ups. The nonprofit NW Innovation Resource Center is creating a new venture called Slingshot-NW to help inventors and entrepreneurs market whatever they dream up.

What do you get when you combine a slingshot, a fish tank, a stack of 2-by-4s and five engineering students determined to help the United States Air Force? A device to stop high-velocity projectiles ...

What do you get when you combine a slingshot, a fish tank, a stack of 2-by-4s and five engineering students determined to help the United States Air Force? For Team CADET at Rice University, the ...

TARS, named after the robot from the 2014 film "Interstellar," could potentially be a way to travel to other stars. TARS requires no fusion reactors, no gigawatt laser — and not even a chemical rocket ...

This artist’s concept shows an example of a gravitational assist maneuver, used by spacecraft to travel through the solar system. In this example, the spacecraft flies close by Mars, then by Jupiter, ...

This video is just asking to be a physics problem on my final exam. Here we have someone launched into the air with a slingshot. The fellow then opens a parachute and floats back to Earth. I'm not ...

NASA Advanced Innovations Concepts has funded research to combine a heat shield and solar thermal propulsion system to perform a solar Oberth maneuver in order to achieve the highest possible escape ...

Give Employees Data or Give Them Nothing: 72% of Workers Say Their Productivity is More Dependent on Performance and Progress Metrics Than Workplace Flexibility DC Velocity Staff ...

This high-velocity maneuver is a nightmare if you're a fly. There's a type of spider that can slowly stretch its web taut and then release it, causing the web to catapult forward and ensnare ...

I hope curiosity for curiosity's sake is sufficient reason to drive a car. In this case not even a car, not technically. With only three wheels, the Polaris Slingshot counts as a motorcycle when it ...
