It’s a case of life imitating art. Much as the sci-fi film “The Matrix” depicted a device capable of enhancing skill acquisition, researchers at HRL Laboratories, LLC, have discovered that low-current electrical brain stimulation can modulate the learning of complex real-world skills.
The substance that provides energy to all the cells in our bodies, Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), may also be able to power the next generation of supercomputers. The discovery opens doors to the creation of biological supercomputers that are about the size of a book.
MIT researchers have developed the thinnest, lightest solar cell to date, which can be placed on a soap bubble without bursting it.
Earlier this month, the White House's Office of Science and Technology assembled a strange gathering: scientists, artists, engineers, and policy-makers, for a workshop designed to imagine how humanity could settle the solar system.
Using a computer simulation, astronomers probe the ‘cosmic web’ of the universe, its honeycomb-like structure on the largest scales.
A primer to help you unentangle the world of the very small.
With 1,500 horsepower on tap and a 0-60 mph time of 2.6 seconds, the Dendrobium has what it takes to take on the world’s best supercars, but with one unique trait – zero emissions.
In experiments, light-based Internet was fast enough to download the equivalent of 23 DVDs in one second.
While there are several large-scale construction 3D printers being developed, none of them could really be called elegant or graceful. Mostly these huge machines print utilitarian shapes out in concrete materials that need to be smoothed and considerably altered.
With international pressure rising, Iceland whaler Kristjan Loftsson calls off the hunt this season.
Boeing has patented technology to 3D print objects while levitating in space. Boeing plans to 3D print aircraft parts using this technology.
New observations from the Hubble Space Telescope are helping characterize the atmospheres of exotic planets, such as the exoplanet 55 Cancri e.
From gigantic floating wind turbines to combining wind and hydro for large-scale energy storage, Norway has already taken bold steps to promote wind energy as a renewable resource.
The sun rises and sets 365 times in most years. In that time, Kyocera figured out how to harness more of the sun to help power a smartphone.
