F0r years, scientists have struggled to build graphene-based electronics that could do the same thing as silicon superconductor chips. A new breakthrough from an international team of scientists might just change all that. These geniuses just invented a new form of graphene that’s ten times more conductive.
Imagine a laser that fires super-powerful blasts of light ten times a second. A laser with one quadrillion watts of power. That’s one powerful piece of equipment—the most powerful—and it’s exactly what’s being built for the ELI-Beamlines science facility in the Czech Republic.
Researchers around the world are working to create more lifelike prosthetic hands and other limbs for amputees. Prosthetic hands have been around for years in multiple forms, typically nothing more … Continue reading
Twitter holds vast amounts of data, information that has been used by multiple entities in the past to do things from mapping racism to helping form profiles on individuals. In … Continue reading
This looks like a bizarrely-colored aerial image of a city at night, but in reality it’s something much smaller, and much more fascinating: the tiny scaffolding and organelles that make up a single human cell. Harvard researchers caught this view using a new technique powered by light-up strands of custom-built DNA.
A bionic hand that allows its wearer to actually feel what the prosthetic is touching has been tested for the first time, with a Danish amputee able to tell the … Continue reading
Battery fires are no fun. Just
This morning we’ve got some new news and some news that’s been in the making for 120 million years. While we’ve got reasearch popping up that describes how it’s possible … Continue reading
Newly discovered 4600-year-old Egyptian stepped pyramid predates the Great Pyramid of Giza
Posted in: Today's ChiliIf you think of pyramids, your mind most likely goes to the three major pyramids that are in Egypt. That trio of pyramids, including the Great Pyramid of Giza, aren’t … Continue reading
From robots to mind-reading, new programming languages to advanced communication systems, DARPA has fingers in many, many pies. And now, it’s making all its open source code available by publishing the DARPA Open Catalog.
