Engineering | Science | Technology on Instagram: "After exactly 30 years, one of the world’s most iconic dams has opened its gates for the first time since 1995 — an event engineers, environmentalists, and locals have been waiting decades to witness. This wasn’t a routine release. For three decades, water levels, structural safety checks, and changing environmental policies kept these massive spillways completely sealed. Today, for the first time in a generation, the gates were raised in a caref

Artificial Intelligence | ChatGPT | Technology on Instagram: "The robot is being controlled by a ChatGPT style model running safety protocols. At first, the AI refuses the command to fire because harm instructions are blocked by alignment rules. Then the creator jailbreaks the AI with a bypass prompt. Once the safety filter breaks, the AI switches into a different instruction mode and sends a command to the robot’s actuator. The robot is holding a non lethal BB pistol, so the system fires. There

Explaining The Universe on Instagram: "Living on Mars would mean adapting to a world that is both harsh and carefully controlled. People would live inside sealed habitats or underground bases designed to protect them from radiation, freezing temperatures, and the thin, toxic atmosphere. Daily life would revolve around maintaining these systems—growing food in hydroponic gardens, recycling water, and monitoring oxygen levels. Going outside would require a full spacesuit, and the lower gravity wou

Technology Explained on Instagram: "Follow @explaining.tech to learn everything about technology one post at a time 🧠⚙️ The concept of a “flying sword drone” that moves with hand gestures is a fascinating display of advanced motion-capture technology and miniaturized robotics. The core technology lies in the wearable controller worn by the user. This controller uses sophisticated inertial sensors and accelerometers to track the exact position, orientation, and subtle movement of the hand. This

Unseen World on Instagram: "Police don’t blindly chase suspects. They use strategic maneuvers that can end a pursuit in seconds. 🚓⚡ This technique relies on coordination, timing, and flawless communication between multiple patrol units. Instead of escalating into a dangerous high-speed chase, officers form a controlled moving “box” formation around the fleeing vehicle, quietly removing every possible escape route. One unit controls the pace from the front. Side units position themselves to bloc

Explaining Fighting on Instagram: "Self-defense moves — simple techniques built on leverage, not strength. The real secret isn’t fighting harder… it’s using smart mechanics to break holds, create space, and escape safely. Good self-defense is fast, controlled, and designed for real-life situations, not movie fights. From wrist releases to choke escapes to basic balance breaks, each move uses the attacker’s force against them. A small angle shift, a sudden step, or a quick redirect is often all i

Galaxies on Instagram: "Color TV camera footage (remote-controlled from Houston) of the Apollo 17 LM ascent stage ignition and liftoff on December 14th, 1972. The “rainbow sparkles” at ignition are from bits of Kapton foil and insulation that were blown outwards by the hold bolts and wire cutters exploding and engine ignition; they moved much too fast for the spinning RGB color wheel on the camera to register them in all filters.
