Diamond is a famously hard material, but now scientists at City University of Hong Kong have managed to stretch it further than ever before. Why? Stretching nanoscale samples changes their electronic and optical properties, which could open up a new wo… Continue reading Scientists stretch diamond to improve its electronic properties
A quantum internet would be much faster and more secure than the one you’re using right this second – and now such a network may be one step closer to reality. Scientists have used quantum teleportation to send information over long distances, with a h… Continue reading High-fidelity, long-distance teleportation paves way for quantum internet
Samsung was first to market with a curved OLED TV in 2013, and LG’s offerings followed the next year. But such screens were a case of a technical capability in search of an application, and consumers in their wisdom realized that TVs weren’t it. Gaming… Continue reading LG Display to demo transforming, bendable OLED display at CES
It’s rare that gravel gets scientists so excited, but these are no ordinary rocks. They’re the samples returned to Earth by Hayabusa2 after its 5.24-billion-km round trip to asteroid Ryugu, and this is our first glimpse at them after the spacecraft lan… Continue reading First glimpse at Hayabusa2’s asteroid haul
SpaceX has been making controlled landings of its Falcon 9 boosters to allow them to be reused for a number of years now. Such landings involve the rockets touching down, be it on a boat or a launch pad, using legs built into the rocket. But SpaceX CEO… Continue reading Elon Musk reveals catch and quick release plans for Super Heavy booster
A compelling new study, published in the journal Pain, has found integrating an immersive virtual reality system into a chronic pain treatment can significantly enhance a patient’s pain-relief outcome. The research suggests “digiceutical” therapies may… Continue reading Real-time VR system enhances effect of chronic pain therapy
Turning Paris from a City of Light to a City of Green has long been an ambition of architect Vincent Callebaut, and his firm’s latest project in this vein envisions a greenery-filled footbridge in the French capital. Named the Green Line, the tree-pack… Continue reading Vincent Callebaut aims to span the Seine with veggie-growing gardens
Even if you like cooking, it can still be a hassle transferring ingredients between bowls – all of which subsequently have to be washed. Cuisinart’s new Complete Chef food processor was designed with that in mind, as it also cooks what it slices and di… Continue reading Complete Chef cooks the food it processes
Conventional dual-joystick drone controllers require pilots to use both hands – this can be inconvenient, plus not everyone has two functional hands. That’s where the one-handed Knuckles-5 controller is designed to come in.Continue ReadingCategory: Dro… Continue reading Knuckles-5 allows drone pilots to keep one hand free
They might be small and their kills may be indirect, but for humans, mosquitoes are the deadliest animals on the planet by quite a margin. While tackling the diseases these annoying insects spread is one approach to reduce their lethality, others are l… Continue reading Self-deleting genes promise risk-free genetic engineering of mosquitoes
