With the world of mobile technology making great strides in terms of evolution, companies and researchers across the globe are now focusing on making these devices as versatile as possible, especially when it comes to the durability of their batteries. While exploring the option of wireless charging, there have also been other remarkable possibilities [...]

A material thickness of only one atom and a “mini submarine” capable of administering chemotherapy in a tumor are some of the findings presented at a conference on nanotechnology held in Tel Aviv. The 1,500 conference participants at the Nano Israel 2010, including chemists, physicists and medical researchers, who share their work with [...]

We live in times when solutions come very late and long after crisis destroys everything but nevertheless we must appreciate the fact that solutions are being worked out for next crisis. The Gulf of Mexico oil spill was a rude awakening about shortcomings of our technology in cleaning up and protecting our oceans. MIT researchers have been working on [...]

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 stitch materials. [...]

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 traditional laser beams. Quantum [...]

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 Science [...]

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 [...]

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 ?-Br film which is usually found on silicon [...]

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 [...]
