Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have ingrained carbon nanotubes inside spinach leaves, turning the leaves into sensing units which are able to communicate with humans. This particular application is...

A miniature, low-cost computer that may encourage kids to learn to program was the concept of a small team of academics and scientists. Launched in 2012, Raspberry Pi has achieved great feats...

Silicon Is The King At the forefront of computing technology for decades, the reign on silicon chips may soon be over, as chip designers at present are looking for other materials that offer extra options and more wonderful...

Typical disease detection includes many assessments and test—taking samples of blood, saliva, urine, and stool; inserting unpleasant-looking devices into various locations in the body; and the like. Even superior detection techniques—like patches with micro...

MIT engineering students Michael Farid, Kale Rogers, Luke Schlueter and Braden Knight invented a completely automated mini-restaurant referred to as Spyce Kitchen, that will make fast food even faster. It features a fridge, dishwasher,...

Researchers from the Qatar University and North Carolina State University have developed a new "high-entropy" metallic alloy that has a much higher strength-to-weight ratio than any other present metallic material known to...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder, University of California Berkeley along with Massachusetts Institute of Technology, have developed a groundbreaking microprocessor chip that uses light, as an alternative to electricity, to transfer data...

  State-of-the-art atomic force microscopes (AFMs) are designed to capture pictures of structures as small as a fraction of a nano meter — one million times smaller than the width of a...

Algae has been genetically modified to kill most cancers cells with out harming healthy cells. The algae nano particles, created by scientists in Australia, had been found to kill 90% of cancer...

One would have to be quite an expert marksman to shoot a drone out of the sky with a traditional rifle. Firing a bullet with a diameter of around 7 mm and hitting an...
