Although London will host the Olympic Games in four years from now, preparations for the event have already started. Among several projects, they are planning to design a solar powered shuttle for transportation along the Thames River.

The shuttle is viewed as the perfect transportation alternative because Thames is the ideal place in London for capturing […]

A cold fusion breakthrough has been announced by a former physics professor at the Osaka University. The professor named Yoshiaki Arata performed a demonstration regarding cold fusion helped by his co-worker Yue-Chang Zhang.
The researchers used the force of pressure to determine the deuterium (D) gas into a cell which contained palladium dispersed in zirconium oxide […]

As you probably know by now, the Pheonix Lander has descended and landed on Mars. Another first for NASA is that the MRO (Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter) has photographed the Pheonix while the spacecraft was descending on Mars. The high-resolution camera caught an awesome image on Sunday of the Pheonix which currently sends images from the […]

Inspired by the US government’s huge investments in the severed fingers regrowing with pig powder field, designer Tim Hawkinson created this finger to terrify the Ace Gallery visitors.

VBLOC is a new implant that works by blocking a nerve that regulates digestion, contributing thus to the weight loss. The clinical experiments were successful, and now the doctors prepare another 300 persons lot to do the next stage of research.

Researchers play an important part in improving our current technology, actually they are the most important because they come up with ideas that could help us. A domain that many of them focus is medicine and a disease that they are looking to cure is blindness and a recent report shows that blind people could […]

Hua-wei Zhou, a Geosciences professor from Texas Tech University who was going to use 60 seismometers to track mini-quakes at the Three Gorges reservoir, 250 miles east of the Sichuan earthquake epicenter, is now using the devices to study the safety of the dam.
According to him and his team, the tragedy scenario could have been […]

A recent study reveals that carbon nanotubes could be linked to lung cancer and other respiratory problems. Turns out that mice injected with nanotubes of different lenghts developed lung deficiencies and other problems very similar to those caused by asbestos.
It seems that the lining of the lungs is affected by the long nanotubes meant to […]

This won’t be the first year nanosoccer is played at the 2008 US RoboCup Open, however, this will be the first time the public is allowed to spectate at a soccer game between the microscopic players. The players are, in fact, computer-driven robots the size of unicellular organisms, and their ball will have the diameter […]

Robotic surgeons are getting more and more precise and a few days ago, Calgary doctors managed to remove a brain tumor from a 21 year old woman using a two-handed robot called NeuroArm. The operation took about nine-hours and it’s the first time that a robot made a surgery like this and hopefully, there will […]
