Researchers from Rutgers University have just developed a microchip that uses nanosensors to measure, in real-time, the stress hormone levels using a single drop of blood.
A university student from the UK has invented the life-saving device, called REACT, that can be used by first responders of a violent knife crime to stop the bleeding and prevent blood loss.
Researchers from Singapore created AiFoam or e-skin that is made by highly elastic, and spongy polymer material that mimics the human sense of touch to allow robots to feel nearby objects and repair themselves when damaged.
Scientists have agreed to breed disease-resistant animals to produce gene-edited meat from "super pigs," which are resistant to a widespread respiratory disease called Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS).
Researchers from the Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed new open-source software that could evaluate quantum annealers down to the individual qubit level aside from also characterizing noise.
Researchers from Munich and Tuebingen have developed an open-source camera system that will allow scientists to study how mice see their natural habitats.
UC Berkeley engineers have used a principle behind some of the specialized sticky footpads observed on insects, enabling them to stick to surfaces to develop an insect-sized robot through the use of electrostatic adhesion.
A new study is currently looking in particular, at how very young children are incorporating different information sources to learn new words through the use of a new computer system.
Back in 2019, two divers off the coast of New Zealand found a giant floating creature that resembled a worm. Measuring some 26 feet long, it was pink and slightly translucent, like a plastic bag drifting toward them.
In a move that is expected to reduce time and increase efficiency and accessibility, researchers have found a way to turn an ordinary quantum dot smartphone camera into a vision system for a new COVID-19 diagnostic test kit.
Stefan Klein, the inventor of the flying car, AirCar, successfully conducted a test flight across the airports in Slovakia. With a click of a button, the dual-mode car-aircraft vehicle became a sports car.
At a time when everyone stayed home due to the coronavirus pandemic, retail giant Amazon worked overtime to meet the sudden spike in delivery needs - resulting in a 19 percent increase in its carbon footprint.
