Able to accelerate to highway speeds in mere seconds, the King doesn’t stop gaining speed until it hits 60 mph. Wit… Continue reading Full-suspension all-terrain super-scooter accelerates to 60 mph
Researchers at Tel Aviv University have managed to create a kind of cyborg, by integrating the ear of a locust into a robot. The robot was then able to respond to noises that the biological sensor picked up, which could pave the way for more sensitive … Continue reading Biohybrid robot wired to “hear” using locust’s ear
A robust new study has demonstrated how SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, can infect and directly damage heart tissue. The research suggests previously reported cases of heart damage in COVID-19 patients are not due to inflammation in r… Continue reading New evidence shows coronavirus can infect and kill heart muscle cells
So far as feedstocks for the production of biofuels go, kelp is a highly promising one on many fronts, and a new technology promises to boost its credentials even further. Scientists at the University of Southern California (USC) have demonstrated how … Continue reading “Kelp elevator” for biofuel production boosts growth by four times
Scientists have found evidence of a “space hurricane” for the first time. The storm, made up of swirling clouds of plasma, raged in Earth’s upper atmosphere for hours, dumping huge amounts of electrons like rain in a system that resembles a regular hur… Continue reading Plasma “space hurricane” detected over Earth for first time
In a healthy pancreas, the hormones insulin and glucagon work in tandem to keep blood sugar levels in check, but sometimes this relationship can break down and lead to what we know as diabetes. Scientists at the University of Texas (UT) Southwestern ha… Continue reading Cell conversion method cures diabetes in mouse models
Fuel cells generate electricity from hydrogen, so they’re a key part of the powertrain for hydrogen-powered electric vehicles and aircraft. But they can also be useful in a range of other applications, and in order to promote developments outside its o… Continue reading Toyota packages up a ‘crate’ fuel cell module you can use for anything
Although wing-flapping micro-drones do already exist, the things tend to be quite fragile – and thus not ideally suited to real-world use. An experimental new one, however, utilizes a softer mechanism for greatly enhanced durability.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Tiny wing-flapping drone gets tougher by going softer
Many people like the idea of commuting by motorcycle, but are put off by the thought of being so open to the elements. The three-wheeled, fully-enclosed, tilting Nimbus EV was designed with just such folks in mind.Continue ReadingCategory: Urban Transp… Continue reading Nimbus tilting EV could be the non-motorcycle you’ve been looking for
Due to the current pandemic, people are shopping online like never before. This means that distribution warehouses have become very busy places, where goods need to be transported quickly but safely – and that’s where the LoadRunner comes in.Continue R… Continue reading “LoadRunners” designed to autonomously speed goods through warehouses
