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
Hacker group Anonymous has announced it has taken down India’s Supreme Court and All India Congress websites. Anonymous announced the attack via Twitter, claiming the reason is “Internet censorship” and suggesting India should “install” a new government. Both websites are unavailable at the time of this writing. Namaste #India, your time has come to trash
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
Google’s Project Glass demo is certainly the coolest hardware demo so far this year. Behind the scenes is something equally intriguing: artificial-intelligence software. The augmented-reality glasses, which Google co-founder Sergey Brin was spotted wearing sometime before, created a huge buzz Wednesday when Google released a video showing, from the wearer’s perspective,
The latest news published in Nature is that diamonds are a quantum computer’s best friend — particularly if they’re flawed. An international team of scientists sought out sub-atomic impurities in a 1mm-thick fragment of over-priced carbon and used these as qubits to perform successful calculations. A team that includes scientists
According tho new NASA simulations, the moon gets periodically “sandblasted” by intense solar storms that can strip tons of material from the lunar surface. Solar wind is a stream of charged particles, or ions, that are emitted in all directions by the sun. Scientists previously knew that solar ions can
Worm colonies can be established on space stations without the need for researchers to tend to them, which could help scientists understand the effects of weightlessness and high radiation levels experienced in space, a new study has found. Since space is no easy amble, humans must first learn to cheaply and
