    Scientists Just Created Quantum States in Everyday Electronics

    Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionise the processing power at our fingertips, but for the moment a lot of it is just potential. Researchers have been uncertain on whether we’ll ever be able to harness quantum computing in a practical, affordable, realistic way. But we might have an exciting new lead. Two new studies show how quantum […]

    Stanford scientists unveil ultra-thin electronics that can dissolve into the body

    A group of scientists from California have developed a series of organic electronic components that will harmlessly dissolve into their environment after use. Led by Stanford Professor of Chemical Engineering Zhenan Bao, the team’s inventions include a biodegradable semi-conductive polymer, disintegrable and flexible electronic circuits, and a biodegradable substrate material for mounting these electrical components onto. Totally flexible and biocompatible, […]

    Stanford University scientists make cool clothing

    Scientists from the Stanford University have engineered a low-cost plastic material that could result in clothing that cools the wearer, reducing the need for energy-consuming air conditioning in hot climates. The material works by allowing the body to discharge heat in two ways, making the wearer feel nearly four degrees Fahrenheit cooler. The research, carried […]

    German scientists are training robots to ‘experience’ pain

    ache is important. It triggers an appropriate response to save you even more accidents or maybe tosave your life. a couple of German researchers suppose so too, so they’re running on a manner to make robots “feel” — or, greater accurately, to detect and reply to — pain. That way, they are able to moveaway […]

    Scientists Discover Hot Super-Earths Being Stripped by Host Stars

    Using data from Nasa’s Kepler space telescope, astrophysicists from the University of Birmingham have discovered extra-solar planets whose atmospheres have been stripped away by their host stars. According to them, planets with gaseous atmospheres that lie very close to their host stars are bombarded by a torrent of high-energy radiation. Due to their proximity to […]
