Infrared implant between skin and skull helps kill brain cancer

Brain cancer is one of the most insidious forms of the disease, but researchers at Stanford have now developed a wireless device that could help improve survival times. When implanted between the skin and skull, the remotely activated device heats up g… Continue reading Infrared implant between skin and skull helps kill brain cancer

User-detecting shower head lowers the water flow when not needed

You don’t need the full force of the water for every second that you’re in the shower, but constantly turning it up and down at the taps can be tricky. That’s where the Reva shower head comes in, as it automatically reduces the flow whenever you step b… Continue reading User-detecting shower head lowers the water flow when not needed

James Webb snaps its first direct image of an exoplanet

The James Webb Space Telescope has snapped its first direct images of an exoplanet. With its uniquely powerful instruments, Webb captures details that other observatories miss, which will help us understand these distant worlds better and potentially f… Continue reading James Webb snaps its first direct image of an exoplanet

Infrared laser charger wirelessly beams power to devices 100 ft away

We’re all used to receiving data wirelessly, but transmitting power over the air has been much trickier. Now Korean engineers have demonstrated a new system that uses infrared lasers to beam power as far as 100 ft (30 m), which could eventually lead to… Continue reading Infrared laser charger wirelessly beams power to devices 100 ft away

James Webb keeps breaking records for most distant galaxies ever seen

Even though it hasn’t been collecting data for very long, the James Webb Space Telescope keeps breaking its own records for peering deeper into space and time. The telescope has now detected a galaxy candidate that lies 35 billion light-years from Eart… Continue reading James Webb keeps breaking records for most distant galaxies ever seen

James Webb Telescope turns its infrared eyes on Jupiter

Last week the James Webb Space Telescope made history with its first images, showing a galaxy cluster billions of light-years away, but now it’s turned its sights on something much closer to home. NASA has released infrared images Webb snapped of Jupit… Continue reading James Webb Telescope turns its infrared eyes on Jupiter

James Webb vs Hubble: Side-by-side comparisons highlight visual gains

By now you’ve no doubt seen the first batch of images from NASA’s powerful new eye in the sky, the James Webb Space Telescope. But the scope of the achievement can be hard to appreciate without context, so here they are side-by-side with Hubble’s views… Continue reading James Webb vs Hubble: Side-by-side comparisons highlight visual gains
