Measures are being unrolled across the continent to safeguard against fake news interfering with campaigning with a series of major European elections in the calendar for 2017. However the phenomenon, which is thought by some to have led to U.S. President Donald Trump’s electoral success, is already past its peak, according to one analyst who spoke…
This new sensor array system could potentially lead to new breakthroughs in biopharmaceutical treatments. Although carbon nanotubes have since long been associated with new breakthroughs in computer science, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have now found an alternative use for them – medicine and chemical engineering. Researchers at MIT have published a paper…
The technology could open up new chapters in understanding brain activity and medical diagnosis in realtime. Although Scientists have long suspected that light can create its own conical wakes like the one created by a sonic boom, the problem has always been, if this is so, how would you be able to capture it with…
The development could eventually lead to the discovery of new medicines and “much more”. In a significant development for medical science, researchers at the Scripps Research Institute have produced the world’s first stable semi-synthetic organism. While earlier it had created organisms with synthetic DNA letters they however could not keep their artificial base pair in…
While the platform will save hundreds of lives of the fish, it could also play a key role in better understanding the functions of the brain in pre-clinical neurobehavioral studies. In a remarkable development researchers from New York University’s Tandon School of Engineering chose the zebrafish to be their virtual lab rats since they are…
It allows the editing of objects after they have been printed, albeit, in an atmosphere free of oxygen. Typically once you have 3D printed an object, there is not much you can do in terms of alterations of its properties. However, it turns out, things aren’t really carved in stone, or plastic in this case.…
While the material is important, structure it turns out is key. Although there have been many reports stating how graphene is essentially gone to save the world with its innumerous powers and applications, in the real world, instances of the demonstration of such abilities have been far and wide. It is in this scenario that…
The detailed 3D map, which will be updated at least every five years, is a boon for researchers, governments, and conservationists. The tool can be used to better understand the world in which we live in. Turns out we know more about the moon and Mars than we do about our ocean on this very…
The algorithm is more efficient than the ones used by Lyft and Uber. Researchers from MIT have conclusively proven that not only is carpooling less polluting, but it is also a more cost effective and efficient solution as opposed to utilizing the services of traditional taxis. Researchers from MIT’s CSAIL computer science lab have come…
These super-efficient wires can conduct electricity without any loss of energy. It can also be knitted into a fabric. Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy and from Stanford University have devised a method to make incredibly thin wires which have extraordinary properties. Researchers have used diamondoids, the smallest possible forms of diamond, to build…
