    Researchers create ‘smart clothing’ to prevent back pain

    NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Back pain is the number one cause of disability, and accounts for more than 264 million lost work days per year. Now researchers at Vanderbilt University have developed clothing to prevent back pain. They call it smart underwear. Whether it’s lifting something or bending down, daily activities can put a strain on […]

    Researchers one step closer to tech that can charge smartphones and laptops in seconds

    Scientists are now one step closer to reach the ability to charge mobile phones and laptop in a few seconds. The researchers at the University of Waterloo used nanotechnology to significantly improve energy-storage devices known as supercapacitors, which can store electrical energy. The improved design roughly doubles the amount of electrical energy the rapid-charging devices can hold. This […]

    Researchers Create Vitamin-Driven ‘Green’ Battery

    Paving the way for cheaper consumer electronics that are easier on the environment, researchers have created a battery that uses a compound from vitamin B2 as the cathode — the part that stores the electricity that is released when connected to a device. “We’ve been looking to nature for a while to find complex molecules […]

    MirrorLink Car Smartphone Network Has Vulnerabilities, Claim Researchers A system of rules that allow vehicles to communicate with smartphones may be vulnerable to hacking, a new study suggests. Many of today’s automobiles leave the factory with secret passengers: prototype software features that are disabled but that can be unlocked by clever drivers, researchers said. In […]

    Researchers Probe How Humans Recognise Images Better Than Computers

    What makes computers and a human brain different when it comes to recognising images? The presence of an “atomic” unit of recognition – a minimum amount of information an image must contain for the recognition to occur – in human brain, researchers report. Scientists from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel and the Massachusetts […]
