In 2014, no less an authority than NASA proclaimed in peer-reviewed papers that it was getting mysterious thrust from the EmDrive, a strange, brassy trumpet of a thing that its creators claimed could produce thrust with no propellant. NASA’s findings r… Continue reading Scientists pinpoint source of “impossible” EmDrive’s thrust
The world of 2D material science is an exciting one where new advances continue to open up new possibilities, most notably through adaptations of the wonder material graphene. Scientists in the US have introduced a new player to this game in the form o… Continue reading 2D “borophane” offers new building block for advanced electronics
Scientists at CERN have used lasers to cool down antimatter for the first time. The milestone could help unlock some of the secrets of this weird substance, including why it didn’t annihilate the universe soon after the Big Bang.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading CERN scientists cool antimatter with lasers for the first time
A key part of driving the adoption of renewable energy is driving costs downward, and by experimenting with new cost-effective materials for storage systems scientists continue to make important strides in this area. A team from Cornell University has … Continue reading 3D aluminum electrode enables low-cost battery to go the distance
Germany’s Lilium has announced a 7-seat version of its gorgeous eVTOL air taxi, as well as plans to have a commercial operation up and running by 2024. Oh, and like approximately every other eVTOL company, it’s headed to the NASDAQ through a SPAC.Conti… Continue reading Lilium’s 7-seat eVTOL is more like an air minibus than an air taxi
Over the past few years we’ve seen some interesting examples of how injectable hydrogels can boost the recovery of damaged muscles and tendons, whether by flooding them with stem cells or acting as supporting scaffolds. Scientists in Spain have now dev… Continue reading Boron-loaded hydrogel halves the recovery time for injured muscles
Lab-grown meat is shaping as an increasingly viable alternative to that sourced through traditional agriculture, but there are still details to work through in terms of the best way to produce it. Scientists at Boston College have developed a new techn… Continue reading Spinach leaf skeleton serves as eco-friendly scaffold for lab-grown meat
Stress can affect the human body in all sorts of ways, with one Harvard study last year demonstrating how it can lead to premature graying of the hair, as just one example. The same researchers have now expanded on this with a new paper detailing how s… Continue reading Stress hormone study offers new target to treat hair loss
Microsoft has won a 10-year contract to build advanced augmented reality systems for the US Army. A new production contract for the Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) will net the company up to US$21.88 billion over 10 years.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Microsoft to build $22 billion worth of AR headsets for the US Army
A striking new study testing a number of over-the-counter weight loss and sports supplements has found they contain many combinations of stimulants that have either previously been prohibited by the FDA or never approved for human consumption.Continue … Continue reading Experimental stimulants common in weight loss and sport supplements
