It goes without saying that the modern world of technology cannot exist without education because at the end of the day those are the educated people, the scientists that create outstanding technologies. On the other hand, it can be easily ...
A recent study published in the December 2014 issue of Environmental Toxicology found that increased exposure to nanoparticles can potentially lead to elevated risk of cardiovascular diseases. As the consumption of nano-based products continues to rise at exponential rates, this ...
Everything seems to be getting smarter these days–We have smart phones, smart computers and now we have “smart skin.” Thanks to a group of researchers at Seol National University, prosthetics have gotten a whole lot smarter with smart skin. This ...
Foldable flat screen televisions are getting closer to reality as University of Houston researchers have successfully developed a new state-of-the-art stretchable and see-through electric conductor. The technology presents the potential not only for the development of foldable flat screen TVs ...
Last week, San Francisco based startup-Planet Labs Inc.-launched 28 mini satellites into orbit with the aim of being the first to capture continuous high-resolution images of the Earth’s surface 365 days a year. Called “Flock 1” and “Doves,” these individual ...
We have come a long way in clean energy production, especially in methods of harnessing the wind to make power. We have seen our fair share of larger than life wind turbines and growing wind farms, both on land and ...
In the movie, “Inner Space” (1987) actor Dennis Quaid was shrunk to microscopic size and entered the body of actor Martin Short with comical consequences. True to form what began was an exciting science fiction journey within the human body ...
Conical Nano-Structure Water Hitting the Test Surface Even the most robust water repellent surfaces that are found in windshields, boat hulls and power generators have a tendency to give way under extreme conditions. Conditions such as increased pressure and high ...
Eesha Khare and her supercapacitor An 18-year-old student from Lynbrook High School in California, made a technological discovery that has the potential to change the future of how we use your cell phones and many other devices creating an electrochemical ...
The new groundbraking graphene sensor (Credit: Nanyang Technological University) Engineers from Singapore have created a new type of camera sensor made from graphene that is said to be 1,000 times more sensitive to light than current imaging sensors. Researchers from ...
