Technology is developing with such speed and intensity, that nearly every day different gadgets are being  produced, and new inventions are presented. But, in this never ending technology race, the desire and ambition [...]

Scientists have successfully levitated mice in the laboratory, in an experiment which may help research into space travel. Using powerful magnets, the creatures were held in a zero-gravity like setting inside a tiny canister, where – after a little acclimatisation – they floated around inside their cage. The researchers, working at various American institutes on [...]

The Royal College of Art recently revealed a rousing rally of auto designs that match sleek profiles with cutting-edge concepts in sustainability.

Weighing in at a mere 20 billion trillion watts per square centimeter and containing a measly 300 terawatts of power, the University of Michigan has broken a record with a 1.3-micron speck wide laser. It’s about two orders of magnitude higher than any other laser in the world and can perform for 30 femtoseconds once [...]

Rice University today used the International Solid-State Circuits Conference to reveal that it has tested a real-world example of a processor founded on probability math. Called a PCMOS (probability-based complementary metal-oxide semiconductor), the chip abandons the either/or Boolean logic of all current processors in favor of calculations that rely on the most likely answer in [...]
