Blood loss to the extremities from injuries is a major, but preventable cause of battlefield deaths. And many deaths occur due to lack of immediate surgeries to such wounds. Yes, to treat wounded troops on the battlefield, the US military plans an...
Northrop Grumman is developing an unmanned, shape-changing supersonic plane concept that could not only loiter outside enemy territory for more than 12 hours but can also hurtle toward a target with a speed faster than sound, on command. And level it...
A good news for the blind. You can now hear the printed texts! It is a handheld device that can convert print to audio, built especially for the blind. One has to just position the reader over any printed matter and take a picture of it. It is just a...
It is predicted that 1 in 10 women will now develop breast cancer. True, highly efficient scanning techniques, such as mammography exist. But, many women are uncomfortable with it, and tend to avoid or delay going for detection.
To find a...
It is nice to hear the pipes playing old-fashioned Scottish tunes. But, it is a cumbersome and a challenging job to screw the pipes and gart them skirl. How nice it would be without these!
Here is a bagpipe music with such a difference. The...
Law enforcement, the military, and disaster rescue – get equipped with the new system. Thanks to the Ohio State University engineers. They have invented a radar system that is virtually undetectable! The signals it sends resemble random noise, and using...
Some of the world's fastest computers have predicted the state of the atmosphere of the Sun. And it was predicted five days in advance with unprecedented accuracy. The simulation can help forecast hazardous magnetic storms around the Earth better....
Gasification of coal is currently the most economical way to produce hydrogen. With the increasing demand for hydrogen as a vehicular fuel, ways to transport and store hydrogen in a safe manner has also become important along with producing it in an...
Reading people’s mind has always been interesting and difficult a job. A new computer is to come, which will help you with this job – yes, read people’s mind! British and American scientists are developing a computer, which we can define as...
Do you suffer from migraine pain? Zap the debilitating disease away before it starts – and that too with the help of a device and not popping in a pill! It is an electronic device called TMS, which interrupts the migraine’s aura phase -- the electrical...
Very soon you will be able to communicate to your dear ones sitting inside a moving flight. The satellite-based technology, providing this facility will allow UK airline BMI to begin trails on making in-flight mobile calls. The costs of the calls are...
An 'optically switchable' material has been created by the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute researchers. Magically, it can change a surface from its sticky nature to a slippery texture.
When exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, the material alters...
A chip is developed to track the positions and movements of stars and other celestial bodies. The 111-megapixel CCD (charge coupled device) image sensor is built by DALSA Semiconductor. Semiconductor Technology Associates developed the chip, which will...
Good news for young cancer women patients, especially who aspire to have children. Thanks the Japanese fertility experts. They have developed a new method of freezing human eggs!
Unlike human sperm, the eggs of women are fragile enough to get...
