Breakthrough graphene membrane can instantly transform sea water into drinkable fresh water

British researchers have developed a graphene oxide sieve designed to remove salt from seawater. The sieve may potentially be highly efficient in straining salt, which could help provide clean drinking water for millions of people who do not have a ready access to it. The researchers will now test the graphene sieve against current desalination membranes. […]

Scientists have created robots that have rib cages, flexible spines, and can SWEAT

A team of researchers at the University of Tokyo developed a pair of humanoid robots that can carry out a wide range of life-like activities — such as doing push ups, sit ups, and stretches as well as playing badminton and other complicated motions — in a less mechanical manner compared with most automatons. The robots, called Kengoro and Kenshiro, […]

Breakthrough brick-laying robot to put millions of brick layers out of work

New York-based Construction Robotics has developed a bricklaying robot that can build walls six times faster than a human worker. The Semi-Automated Mason 100, nicknamed Sam, can lay up to 3,000 bricks daily compared with an average builder’s capacity of only 500 bricks a day. The robot Sam is made up of various parts including a […]

Breakthrough study confirms vitamin D prevents cancer… yet few doctors recommend vitamin D at all

Increasing vitamin D intake reduces the risk of cancer by 30% among post-menopausal women, a new study suggests. Yet, “health experts” still say that there is no conclusive link between vitamin D intake and reduced cancer risk. According to Marji McCullough, Strategic Director of Nutritional Epidemiology for the American Cancer Society (ACS), data from scientific reviews show varying conclusions […]
