Two new hybrid boats have been announced by CraigCat as their new products with zero water pollution. The non-hybrid CraigCat boats used the same quantity of fuel in just one hour. The new crafts are powered both by gas and electrical energy and they are named CraigCat Hybrid and CraigCat E2 Hybrid.
The models include 2 […]

The secret of suspended animation has been unlocked by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital as they found out that exposure of mice to sewer gas put them in the same state as people traveling without aging from the SF movies.
Hydrogen sulfide appears to be the substance to induce a deep trance to humans, and allowing […]

The new technique called Scan and Solve was developed by the researchers at University of Wisconsin-Madison and Florida International University and allows engineers and sculptors to check whether a building or statue has areas that could crack sooner or later.
The program uses 3D data of the objects to foretell where they are most likely to […]

Scientists have confirmed that the most energetic particles in the Universe have their origins far from our planet. Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays are mostly hydrogen and helium and they contain more energy than any known particles from space.
These rays lose their intensity on their way to Earth because of interaction with cosmic microwave radiation, leftovers of the […]

A team of researchers from the Rice University have developed a new technique that could help at the harvesting hydrogen in bulk. Their idea is to crop hydrogen with the help of buckyballs which are mini carbon-capsules and according to the researchers, those might be “capable of holding volumes of hydrogen so dense as to […]

Over the past few years, the medicine has been growing almost unhindered. Now, it gets even better as some British scientists are trying to design a robot that will perform surgeries guided by the intentions of the surgeon. This technique will make operations easier and more precise.
The abilities of the robot could be very useful […]

Everybody heard about LEDs and the brightness of the colors that they emit. Until now the LEDs did not receive too much attention from the big lighting companies and just when there were some cool involving LED lighting, some Californian researchers claim that they have developed a new hybrid light that are cheaper, long-lasting, more […]

The technology from Star Wars is being used by the NASA scientists, as the first craft that uses ion propulsion was launched. Dawn is the largest planetary spacecraft to date and right now is a little farther than 81 million miles from Earth, in a journey to the largest known asteroids.
The asteroids, named Vesta and […]
