NGVs can now be printed much like solar cells. In today’s battlefield, being equipped with night vision technology could make a difference to your survival. Although the technology saves lives, it has its shortcomings. Night vision tech used in the modern battlefield today is compared to looking “through toilet paper tubes” on account of their…
A commendable opensource effort, the code can be used by any developer anywhere in the world to learn and understand the code that drives the underlying technology of self-driving cars. Although “Geohot” George Hotz’s Comma One, semi-autonomous driving add-on, did not work as per plan, the underlying technology however is likely to see the light of…
It turns out, at nanoscale levels, water changes its properties. Since a while now, scientists have known that under certain conditions, a limited quantity of water can be coaxed into changing its freezing or boiling point. It will take more heat to convert a liquid under pressure into steam while it will take less energy…
Regardless of whether we are responsible for global warming, or not, it is a real phenomenon threatening our coastal cities. In 2015, when a humongous 225 square mile of ice broke off from Antarctica’s Pine Island Glacier, it made scientists ponder what caused such a massive crack. They now have an explanation and you better be…
Although researchers have been able to better understand why synapses in a plasma field snaps and reconnect, a few answers are still playing hard to get. A more complete understanding could result in possibly the world’s first nuclear fusion reactor. In a historic development of monumental proportions, researchers from Princeton University and from the U.S.…
It has the potential to revolutionise our way of life for the better by simplifying it and making it smarter. Although in the past researchers have put mind body and soul to figure out intricacies of building durable, low-cost synthetic muscles, it hasn’t resulted or pointed to any material progress. Either they have been too…
In a landmark ruling, Europe’s highest court has declared that much like their traditional counterparts, e-books can be lent as long as they have been lawfully bought. In a significant ruling, the European Union’s court of Justice has ruled that just like their physical counterparts, e-books can be lent out; a copy of the e-book…
Researchers have found that for men with black-sounding names, rides were cancelled more than twice as often as for other men by drivers for Uber Technologies Inc. in Boston. Similarly, compared to white customers, notably longer wait times for a car using Uber and Lyft Inc. were faces by black people in Seattle. These are but some…
According to the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report 2016, it will take another 170 years before there is global equality of the sexes, and women around the world only have 59 percent of the access to the economic advantages that men have, the lowest point since 2008. With the estimate for when the…
Crammed with sensors, they can self-assemble, self-charge, can move up and down the wearer’s clothed body. While wearable technology has culminated in smaller, less obtrusive devices, culminating in fitness trackers and smartwatches, but that need not always be the case. Researchers from Stanford and MIT have teamed up to develop miniature robots jammed with sensors…
