Chemistry breakthrough called “diamene” could lead to incredible body armor no thicker than aluminum foil

When you think of body armor, no one would blame you for conjuring up images of knights clad in plate armor so bulky that they can barely move. Of course, it was a small price for them to pay for the protection it offered. Modern protective wear isn’t quite as bulky, but it’s not exactly […]

Researchers develop low-cost graphene device that could serve as baby monitor

Baby monitor technology is in dire need of an update, and a group of researchers in the U.K. may have found just the thing needed to make it happen. Existing baby monitors can be rather cumbersome in certain configurations. In many cases, using them results in an overwhelming mess of various wires that are all needed […]

Scientists develop method of creating diamonds using microwaves

What keeps the multi-billion-dollar diamond industry going? Lots of different factors, to be sure – sales of natural diamonds being one of them. Now there’s one thing that’s beginning to threaten the dominance of traditional, mined-from-the-Earth type of diamonds on the market. And it’s none other than the existence of man-made synthetic diamonds that were grown […]

MIT researchers working on a nuclear fusion superconductor that will generate carbon-free limitless energy within 15 years

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have revealed that for the first time ever, nuclear fusion-based renewable energy may be achievable within the next 15 years. This is going to be made possible thanks in part to a collaboration of the university with a private company that goes by the name Commonwealth Fusion […]

Scientists have created a new kind of radiation detector out of graphene

Graphene has a number of unique and fairly interesting properties, among which is its ability to turn heat into electricity. Now a group of researchers led by Grigory Skoblin of Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden has taken this thermoelectric property and turned it into the driving force behind a new type of radiation detector. […]
