Fresh water is, of course, one of the most crucial resources humans need to survive. Just 2.5 percent of the water on the Earth is fresh, and only 1 percent of freshwater is accessible. This means that only 0.007 percent…
Researchers have designed a new bio-friendly energy storage system called a biological supercapacitor. This works by using charged particles, or ions, from fluids in the human body. The device is harmless to the body’s biological systems and may lead to…
Scientists have now developed a transparent, self-healing, highly stretchable conductive material they say was inspired by Wolverine. The material can be electrically activated to power artificial muscles and could also be used to improve batteries, electronic devices, and robots.
Just weeks after a secretive meeting, a group of 25 scientists have proposed a project to create a synthetic human genome, or genetic blueprint. Sharp criticism followed the announcement from critics who say they are dodging the big ethical questions…
Scientists from the U.K. and U.S have now developed a new technique that enables a human embryo to live outside the womb far longer than before. However, any future experiments are sure to be fraught with ethical issues.
While technology companies are routinely building massive data centers to store their data, a group of researchers have developed a data system using DNA molecules.
If you have seen Terminator Genisys, then you would be familiar with an object morphing into another shape. Well, now researchers from Cornell University may just make it a reality.
This material is the darkest, blackest material ever to be invented, and to give you an idea of how black it is, the inventors have announced that there is no spectrometer in the world powerful enough to measure how much…
Google is one of 10 companies leading the charge in California toward a new era of transport — driverless cars. Over the last six years, Google’s 25 fully-automated prototype vehicles and 25 Lexus SUVs — outfitted with Google’s self-driving systems — have clocked up…
Corporations and scientists in university labs have been developing robots for a long time now, but should we be looking into the future regarding the cost of jobs? With robots getting smarter, and let’s face it, probably making better employees, more…

Imagine never having to wash your clothes ever again — all that would be required would be to expose the garment to light, and it would clean itself.
If you have seen Terminator Genisys, then you would be familiar with an object morphing into another shape. Well, now researchers from Cornell University may just make it a reality.

The idea of baldness usually gets people thinking of aging men, even though hair loss affects all genders and ages. Hair loss can occur because of genetic predisposition, stress, drug…

Researchers are always looking for new ways to make cleaner water and soil. Now, by using ultraviolet (UV) light on a solution of nanoparticles, they have discovered a novel way to…
Scientists may have made a breakthrough in the fight for a more effective treatment for depression.
The subject of uploading your consciousness has been appearing in films like Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avatar, and the upcoming Selfless. It may come as no surprise, but scientists are already…
Within 200 years, the wealthy are likely to become “god-like” cyborgs, with the poor dying out, a historian has claimed. Professor Yuval Noah Harari, from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, believes…
Is their something tougher then Kevlar? The answer is yes. Researchers at the University of Texas in Dallas have made a material that will stretch to up to seven times its…
Will this be the year of the force field? Boeing filed a patent for a “method and system for shockwave attenuation via electromagnetic arc” in 2012.
Shimizu Corp. has published plans to complete an underwater city, “Ocean spiral,” by 2030 at a cost of 3 trillion yen ($25 billion). The city will consist of a large sphere supported by a…
