Prostheses have always faced the problem of not finding the right material to be manufactured. The issue of the right material to manufacture prosthesis has bogged researchers for a very long time. Now, scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have come up with a new method which allows them to use carbon nanotubes to [...]

Most of the discoveries in science are unforeseen, just like this one! A Princeton led batch of researchers has discovered a new type of laser when they spotted an unpredicted beam of light while working with a quantum cascade laser. This new laser is less sensitive to temperature changes and needs less power compared to [...]

The desire to harness energy from all earthly forces remains a passion with scientists. After conquering the battle to harness solar energy, scientists went a step further in attempting to exploit energy from the force of sunlight. After years of failure, it seems a dedicated team of researchers from Yale School of Engineering & Applied [...]

Talk about science and technology; you cannot miss the ‘n’ word. Nanotechnology and nano-particles have almost become indispensable in today’s world. They are preferred because they have been known to be quite environmentally friendly. However, the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution feels that nanoparticles need to be regulated with immediate effect.
The commission believes that nanosilver, [...]

Researchers have discovered that substrate-induced strain could be utilized to alternate an organic superconductor inside an insulator which would respond to av. Yoshitaka Kawasugi and others demonstrated that one could switch from a superconductor to an insulator. The researchers conducted studies on the κ-Br film which is usually found on silicon based substrates.
The funny thing [...]

Samsung Electronics in a joint venture with carbon nanotube manufacturer Unidym divulged the first ever carbon nanotube color active matrix electrophoretic display (EPD) e-paper in recent times at a conference held in Korea. This e-paper device uses a carbon nanotube transparent electrode.
The 14.3” EPD offers innate advantages over the conventional flat panels in consuming less [...]
