Nanomachines have long been the dream of many scientists and science-fiction fans alike. However, with the latest research into nano-scale engines from the University Cambridge, we may finally be on the cusp of real life, fully functional nano-bots that appear to be extraordinarily efficient and scalable…
Chances are that you have seen last month’s ridiculously impressive footage from the first test of a personal hoverboard developed by Frank Zapata (watch below), which can allegedly fly for as much as 10,000 feet (just over 3 km), achieve top speed of 150 km/h, and 10 minutes of continuous flight. ..
It wouldn’t be an overstatement to say that development of autonomous vehicles is all the rage. Rand Corporation has recently reported that it is nigh impossible to reliably prove the complete safety of safe-driving cars just by test drives, given the huge number of test-driven miles necessary for statistically viable results…
Vast amount of power of course goes to industry. Especially in material-processing industry, implementing theoretical (but achievable) technologies, would change a lot. David S. Sholl and Ryan P. Lively, professors at Georgia Institute of technology propose seven chemical separation processes, which would dramatically lower the amount of energy used in industry.
Successful transition to market is a vital step for most technological breakthroughs. If
Building materials for energy storing is a lot like baking. It requires the right ingredients in right amounts, and assembly in the correct order and under ideal conditions. And just like an overly sweet cake can benefit from a pinch of salt, the same appears to be true for batteries…
It isn’t glamorous, but these robots could be the future of public health management. Meet Mario and Luigi, the plumber probes developed by researchers at the MIT Senseable City Lab, who are currently wading through the sewage of the city of Cambridge, MA, monitoring the health of local citizens at an unprecedented level…
There were always shortcuts to technology. A lone inventor, or even a team
In consumer tech, this number is in hundreds, in advanced and specialized batteries it spans in thousands. With usage of nanorods (wires with diameter thousands times thinner than human hair) and graphene, they were able to get around 10 thousand recharges before significant battery fade…
Big news came a few days ago from the University of Tokyo, where researchers created ultrathin, ultraflexible protective layer, which was then used for creating air stable organic light-emitting diode (OLED). While OLED technology is already consumer available, the protective layer…
