The big rockets get all the attention when they are launched into the space. But people generally ignore the important tiny stowaways known as CubeSats that accompany the rocket and drop into the orbit. They are roughly the size of a Rubik’s Cube and weigh only 3 pounds. They are convenient and
Around 1.4 billion people don’t have access to electricity at all in the world while there are many others who have an extremely unreliable access. Stats show that around the globe 30,000 clinics and 60,000 schools still don’t have access to electricity. Solar Turbine Group or STG International, a nonprofit start-up company run
Small power generators can prove to be very useful in numerous applications like remote monitoring, if they can harvest energy from ambient sources like heat, vibrations, and light. They can even generate power from the vibrations by vehicles passing over a bridge to power sensors to monitor bridge’s integrity or to
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
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.
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
