As the world grapples with the new face of remote work in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic researchers are only now catching up to the implications of virtual communication on tasks that in the past would have been conducted face-to-face. A new study … Continue reading How video conferencing can stifle creative idea generation
Researchers in Japan have developed a new method for making 5-cm (2-in) wafers of diamond that could be used for quantum memory. The ultra-high purity of the diamond allows it to store a staggering amount of data – the equivalent of one billion Blu-Ray… Continue reading Two-inch diamond wafers could store a billion Blu-Ray’s worth of data
NASA’s InSight lander has recorded the two strongest quakes detected so far on Mars, with both measuring over magnitude 4. These seismic events rolled in from the far side of the Red Planet, and one also clocked the record for longest marsquake.Continu… Continue reading NASA’s InSight detects strongest and longest marsquakes to date
Compelling new research from the Indiana University School of Medicine has homed in on a degenerative mechanism that could explain why symptoms such as apathy are the first signs of Alzheimer’s disease. The findings suggest disrupting this process could slow the progression of Alzheimer’s-related dementia.

A history-making NASA spacecraft has just received a new lease on life. OSIRIS-REx, which is currently on its way back to Earth with rock samples from asteroid Bennu, will now have its mission extended to visit another asteroid, Apophis.Continue Readin… Continue reading NASA extends OSIRIS-REx asteroid-sampling mission to visit Apophis
Already a year old, the Hyundai Staria van still looks more like a brand-new concept vehicle than most actual concept cars. However, it’s the real deal, a futuristic take on the MPV available from dealerships in markets around the world. Hyundai tipped… Continue reading Hyundai lunges into RV future with 4- and 11-seat Staria camper vans
New research published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine has followed the recovery of more than 2,000 hospitalized COVID-19 patients. The findings show barely one in four patients reported feeling fully recovered from COVID-19 a year after being disch… Continue reading Most hospitalized COVID patients still recovering a year after discharge
The Subaru BRZ, and its twin the Toyota 86, has been redesigned as a second generation of the entry-level sports car. Its engine is now Subaru’s 2.4-liter, and the interior gets a little more upscale and driver-focused … but the car’s “starter race c… Continue reading Review: 2022 Subaru BRZ continues the rear-driven goodness
When conducting cardiac research, it would be ideal if experiments could be performed on actual living human hearts. Scientists have developed what may be the next-best thing, in the form of a tiny mechanical heart powered by real cardiac cells.Continu… Continue reading miniPUMP heart-on-a-chip pumps liquid using real human heart cells
