Scraping ice off your car window might get a lot easier in the future thanks to a new spray coating developed by scientists in Austria. That’s because of the way the molecules line up – or don’t – during its high-tech creation process.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Molecular chaos powers potent ice-busting coating
If humanoid robots are ever going to fully integrate in society, they’re going to need to get good at reading our emotional states and responding appropriately. A new wearable from researchers in Korea could help them do just that.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading Wearable face sensors add to the evolution of tech that “gets” us
Neanderthals were gluing handles onto their tools over 100,000 years ago, possibly making the species even smarter than previously thought. So says a new study that discovered the use of adhesives on ancient stone tools that were previously overlooked…. Continue reading Ingenious Neanderthals had glue as part of their prehistoric tool kits
No-one has seen the Yellow-crested Helmetshrike for about 20 years. That changed when researchers embarked on a six-week expedition in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and captured the dramatic-looking yellow-topped bird in its first-known photo.Co… Continue reading Striking “lost” bird species found and featured in first-known photo
A 280-million-year-old fossil from the Italian Alps is pretty much just black paint in the lizard-shaped grooves of a rock. So say researchers who examined the specimen and laid to rest questions that have long puzzled paleontologists.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Famous lizard fossil exposed as a forgery
Six doctors in Nebraska have successfully operated a surgical robot aboard the ISS. This time, the operation was on only rubber bands, but the milestone could have meaning for future missions to Mars or for rural operating rooms here on Earth.Continue … Continue reading Earthbound doctors successfully operate surgical robot in space
Geothermal development company Fervo Energy has announced impressive strides being made at its Cape Station facility in southern Utah. The results could lead to a quicker and more widespread uptake of this super-clean energy production process.Continue… Continue reading Advanced geothermal drilling is 70% faster and 50% cheaper than 2022
There’s been a takeover of North America’s soil by scores of non-native earthworm species this past century. It’s time we pay more attention to the invaders and their potentially major impact on the continent’s ecosystem, says a new Stanford study.Cont… Continue reading The alien earthworm invasion is here, says new study

Researchers have just revealed that Mimas, one of Saturn’s smallest moons, has an ocean of liquid water flowing under its entire surface. What is really making waves though, is how young the body of water is: just 5 to 15 million years old.Continue Rea… Continue reading Another ice-sealed ocean has been found in our solar system
