TECH & INNOVATIONWhile volcanoes have long been held to be an inevitable cause of disaster from the Earth's moving plates, a new study reveals how they help the Earth regulate atmospheric carbon dioxide and, in turn, stabilize global temperatures.
The robot beetle an engineer recently invented has been included in the Guinness Book of World Records for its being the lightest crawling robot with a weight similar to three grains of rice.
Powered exoskeletons are developed to help stroke patients and people with disabilities to move faster and farther. They are developed to make daily activities for those with a disability easier.
New data from the NASA Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) space observatory show that some of the universe's brightest objects, the ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULX), might be virtually invisible if they are pointed somewhere else.
Existing pacemakers use lead that connects to the electronic device to generate an electrical pulse. Instead of lead, scientists recently created a pacemaker that will use the kinetic energy from the heart to power the device to overcome existing problems.
Scientists from MIT and Shanghai Jiao Tong University designed new prosthetics that can be inflated, which gives amputees the real-time tactile sensation as well as the existing neuroprosthetics at a much affordable price.
Rocket Lab will launch a tiny CubeSat called AuroraSat-1 later this year for an orbital test. The technology could hopefully ease humanity's problem in space junk.
The superior power of quantum computing poses a threat to blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency segment. However, Cambridge Quantum, the quantum software leader in the UK, might prevent that from happening.
A new study revealed showed how lead exposure resulted in metal toxicity in humans. Scientists also warned about the use of electronic gadgets that can lead to certain health problems.
