Future data storage: Magnetic swirls called skyrmions hold promise for condensing data

If you’ve ever had your data wiped out because of a faulty hard drive, or just can’t seem to get enough storage for your data, the development of things called skyrmions may be the next step in making sure your data never disappears again. Researchers from the U.S. and Germany have discovered that magnetic swirls […]

New DNA testing tool skips the lab, making diagnostics available in remote places

A new “DNA dipstick” could revolutionize disease diagnosis and improve general healthcare in third-world countries. Scientists have simplified genotyping into a tool that purifies DNA and RNA from living organisms in under 30 seconds. Their recent technology is featured in PLOS Biology and shows how genetic material from organisms can be typed in mere seconds. Previous […]

China building artificial rain network to increase rainfall

China is preparing the biggest weather manipulation system the world has ever seen. In an article from Singularity Hub, the Chinese will use the momentous project to generate artificial rain throughout the region of Tibet. The artificial rain network will consist of tens of thousands of solid fuel burners on the ground. They will fill the […]

New prototype nuclear battery packs 10x more energy than commercial chemical cells

A troika of Russian research institutes have developed a new battery that use nuclear material as its energy source. In a Phys.org article, the prototype cell can store 10 times more energy than its chemical equivalents on the commercial market. The nuclear battery use nickel-63, a radioactive isotope of nickel. Their diodes are made from high-grade diamonds. […]

“Air-con” clothes? Scientists develop cooling fabric inspired by the comet moth

Silkworms may have a new competitor when it comes to producing refreshingly cool and bright-looking silk fabrics. The fibers spun by wild Madagascar comet moths look much more vivid and feel much cooler on the skin. An article in Newswise reports that research engineers have created artificial materials based on these fibers to replicate their cooling […]

Research team finds a way to cheaply create nanotubes made from carbon dioxide extracted out of the air

Potentially toxic carbon dioxide can now be transformed into invaluable carbon nanotubes. In a Science Direct article, researchers from Tennessee have reported creating a prototype device that can absorb CO2 from the air and turn it into “black gold.” Carbon nanotubes possess a strength that exceeds steel and a conductivity superior to commonly used copper. […]

Scientists connect 3D-printed objects to the internet without use of electronics

3D printing is the definition of a true sleeping giant. It has the potential to shake up multiple industries, from prototyping to manufacturing, as well as in fields such as medicine and the arts. It has come a long way since it first hit the mass market a few years ago, but it’s still quite […]

MIT researchers develop a machine that manipulates hypnagogia, the state between wakefulness and sleep

As we move from sharp awareness to restful sleep, we undergo hypnagogia, a state where we experience small but surreal dreams that escape our recollection when we wake up. In a Motherboard article, an MIT team reported how they developed a device that can access this dreamland. MIT Media Lab researcher Adam Horowitz led the efforts to create Dormio, […]

Scientists create superionic ice – an ice 60x denser than ordinary water ice and forms at temperatures almost as hot as the sun

Imagine ice that is simultaneously a solid and a liquid, has 60 times the density of normal ice, and capable of forming on the burning surface of the sun. It is called “superionic ice,” an article in Space.com states, and California-based researchers have just created it. This previously theoretical form of ice was first conceived […]

Mars Helicopter to travel with NASA during Red Planet Rover mission scheduled on 2020

NASA has already put space probes in orbit around Mars and rovers on its surface. In a few more years, it will put a helicopter in the skies of the Red Planet, the space agency announced on its homepage. When the Mars 2020 planetary mission takes off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, it will be […]
