TECH & INNOVATIONScientists proved that a new type of transparent electrode could be used as a building block for see-through solar cells to make on-site energy generation possible.
European researchers are building robotic birds that can flap their wings and glides smoothly using air currents. They hope to use it in the next decade in medical emergencies and in searching for other drones.
Researchers have recently developed a brain training app featuring a junk food game that they claim, can help one eat less and lose weight even without dieting.
All you learn from solving brain games, puzzles and crosswords is how to solve them better, say experts; there’s no wider application to real-world tasks.
The problem with most existing chemical pesticides is that they contain harmful chemicals, both to human health and the environment - and a new formula opens up possibilities for safer and greener alternatives.
Space agencies NASA and ESA released a new image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope of the spiral galaxy NGC 691, the eponymous galaxy for the galaxy group where it belongs.
Through a combination of two immensely complex fields, scientists invented robotic systems, including a "smiling robot" that has the ability to think, act and learn on its own, within some limitations.
Specialized ear tags and tracking software provide ranchers with information on their herd that, in turn, increases each animal's value when consumers of beef learn about the traceability of each and every cow.
The Perlmutter will use data from Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) to create the world's largest 3D map of the Universe. DESI is a deep-space imaging equipment that can catch more than 5,000 galaxies in a single image.
As SpaceX grows its constellation of Starlink satellites for global Internet access, more and more of these space objects can be spotted across the night sky - and a superfan has developed a portal to help everyone track these satellites.
One of the main challenges of space travel has been food storage. While mankind has been sending people to space as early as 1961, there has never been any refrigerator to keep food cold and fresh during long missions.
Thermoelectric power is becoming a feasible alternative for clean energy with the discovery of new materials - and a new layered crystal containing rhenium and silicon could usher the future of these devices.
X-ray vision has been one of the most common abilities in superhero and science fiction movies and comics. Scientists believe that 5G networks and radar could make this a reality soon.
