Blood pressure results are within 6-8 mmHG of a blood pressure cuff, the display is vibrant, the battery lasts a week, basic health tracking is available, and it's inexpensive. The band closure is the opposite of other watches; the charger connection can be finicky, and there are limited apps. $129.99 at Amazon In 2024, I reviewed another YHE blood pressure watch, but while its blood pressure monitoring was solid, the rest of

Bedsure's Bamboo Cooling Sheets Are Silky Soft, Durable, and Cheap

I’ve met many supposedly “cooling” sheets in my time as a mattress and bedding tester, and I have been disappointed more often than not. A cooling mattress can’t do all the heavy lifting with temperature regulation, and I’ll forever emphasize that your choice of bedding matters just as much—which is why I'm an unapologetic sheet snob. Which brings me to Bedsure, a brand I stumbled across on Amazon in a last-ditch effort to find some decent sheets when mine bit the dust (rather, my dogs bit holes

A Review of Aerospike Nozzles: Current Trends in Aerospace Applications

news.ycombinator.com Cardenas 2025-08-27 02:33:10

The design of rocket nozzles aims to expand the combustion gases until the exit pressure matches the ambient pressure, thereby maximizing thrust. However, ambient pressuredecreases as the rocket ascends, posing a challenge for conventional nozzles, which operate efficiently only at a specific altitude [ 30 ]. By adjusting their flow characteristics to the varying atmospheric pressure, aerospike nozzles offer a significant advantage in this regard. To quantify this impact, the thrust coefficient

The axion may help clean up the messy business of dark matter

In recent years, a curious hypothetical particle called the axion, invented to address challenging problems with the strong nuclear force, has emerged as a leading candidate to explain dark matter. Although the potential for axions to explain dark matter has been around for decades, cosmologists have only recently begun to seriously search for them. Not only might they be able to resolve some issues with older hypotheses about dark matter, but they also offer a dizzying array of promising avenue
