The concept of high-speed trains has become widely popular in the world, with the concept that the less friction there is, the higher speeds can be reached. Asia has already implemented these on a wide scale, but even these high-speed trains mostly run on rails, which give quite a bit of friction. The other type […]
Technology in the film industry keeps improving all the time, as most of us have seen in many recent films and animations.
