If you believe that the WiFi at your home is fast then you need to think again. Scientists are working on a new method for wireless data transmission and they can now transfer data at a super fast speed of 2.5 Tb/p. If the super speed of 2.5 Tb/s doesn’t
Recently the scientists have discovered that there could be much more water on Mars (or at least some parts of Mars) than we had thought earlier. Scientists examined the water content in meteorites from Mars with new technology, and it points to a lot of it in the Martian mantle. The
Rather than having a huge TV that fills up the entire wall of your room, researchers at MIT’s Media Lab came up with an interesting and cheaper alternative approach to improve your viewing experience with additional screens that target the viewer’s peripheral vision. This system is known as Infinity-By-Nine system which has been
Interesting news for all photography freaks, a new and interesting camera that can see five times better than a person with 20/20 vision is here. The resolution is 50 gigapixels, or 50,000 megapixels. Generally the cameras used by professionals reach no more than 40 MP and a typical point and shoot
There’s an interesting news that soon you could power your phones with your walk. British researchers have created an interesting energy harvester that generates electricity by the motion of your knees. This device would eliminate the need of batteries, an advantage specially to army where they already have such huge backpacks.
Putting your scientific aspirations and experiments into orbit can be a bit tricky. But there’s a way to crowdsource your way into space. ArduSat is working on this idea and is asking Kickstarter contributors to help them get a Arguina CubeSat off the ground. The project is headed by NanoSatisfi
You must have seen a lots of bugs like flies, wasps, bees, etc collide with walls but it is interesting to see that they still keep on going without falling. But can flying robots also do that? Adam Klaptocz, a doctoral candidate in robots at the EPFL in Switzerland wanted
The interesting company, 3M that made forgetting anything impossible by its small sticky notes is now trying to change the face of interior lighting with a highly-engineered reflector which is capable of spreading the light from a single LED bulb over an incredibly large area. 3M created an interesting technology called ‘Virtual
The researchers from MIT have designed a new silicon wafer with several embedded fuel cells that generate power using glucose. The fuel cell creates a small amount of electric current from the electrons of glucose molecules. It uses the same method that is used by cells to degrade glucose into ATP.
Studies show that carnivorous plants like Venus flytrap, Sundew, etc are becoming less bug eating due to the pollution caused by the humans. The increased levels of nitrogen in the air is giving them enough nutrients and they don’t want to eat much bugs. The plants have reduced eating insects
Till now you could just talk wirelessly through your cell phones. But believe it or not, in the near future you would be charging your phone wirelessly too. Charging your phone is too boring. But what if you just had to slide your phone next to your notebook and it
In the year 2007 capacitive touchscreens brought a revolution in the smartphone market and the tablet market by replacing resistive touchscreens. But some people still like buttons and that’s the reason why we have Qwerty phones. But what if you get both worlds together, buttons that rise up on a
Indian Armed Forces after setting its roots into the three elements, air, water and land now moves one more step forward into space with the first ever dedicated military satellite which is to be launched soon within a month or so. Government sources said, “The geo-stationary naval satellite has already
NASA may not be sending astronauts on Mars but this does not mean that space exploration has stopped. NASA would still be unfolding the mysteries of the universe with its “Curiosity Rover”. The rover is expected to land on Mars on August 5th to search for traces of life on the
Needle-less technology in the medical field is not new but till now it was using compressed air to inject the medicine. But now a team of researchers from MIT has developed a technology which uses magnetic energy rather than using gas cartridges. It uses a “Lorentz-force actuator” (a small, powerful magnet surrounded by
DNA acts as a kind of read-only biological data storage device. Now biologists have managed to turn DNA into a form of rewritable memory, just like our computers. However, it’s not the first rewritable biological storage system to be made, earlier proteins which bond to DNA was used to do the
Millions of us start the morning with a coffee and think nothing of it. But new medical research suggests that it could be helping you live longer—if you drink enough of it. The large-scale study, which is published in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed that men who drank six
Researchers are putting viruses to work in the lab, using them to build tiny devices that gather energy from mechanical forces, like the press of a finger, to run a small liquid-crystal display. “More research is needed, but our work is a promising first step toward the development of personal
By far one of the greatest challenges of sign language has been to translate it for everyday folk that wouldn’t know where to begin a conversation with the deaf. Cornell University engineering students Ranjay Krishna, Seonwoo Lee and Si Ping Wang — along with some help from Jonathan Lang — used their final project time this past semester
Here’s what’s not going to happen this year: the earth won’t end on Dec. 12; it won’t be swallowed by a black hole, consumed by the sun or get taken out by a collision with the imaginary planet Nibiru. Here’s what will happen: as of today, more people than ever
Teleportation, sci-fi as it sounds, is actually not fictional or even new; two years ago, Chinese physicists broke the then-current record for quantum teleportation by teleporting photons over 10 miles. But a new effort from that same team demolishes that record, beaming the photons over 97 kilometers. The physicists, working from
Earlier Blueseed came up with the idea to create a seaborne startup community in international waters off the coast of northern California. A new report released by the company says it has 133 tech startups on board to move their operations offshore when it launches next year. The idea is to create a place that requires
Researchers from the University of Leeds, UK and Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology are say that magnetic bacteria can be used to create tiny computing components, or even the biological computers in the future. The bacterium is known as Magnetospirilllum magneticum which is a naturally occurring microorganism that lives in water. It uses
Till now people just played on XBox Kinect using their physical gestures, but now they can even control their PC’s with their physical gestures. But unlike Kinect this new technology doesn’t uses any cameras!!!!!!!!! Rather it uses “inaudible sound waves” to detect your gestures. This new technology is known as
Scientists at the University of Illinois in Chicago discover that men solve brain teasers better after a couple of beers. Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg was known to give interviews while drinking beer. Coincidence? Facebook can sometimes seem infuriating. How did these seemingly a-social people manage to become some of the richest
