Researchers have discovered the fossilized remains of the oldest known ancestor of almost every animal in existence today. The creature, named Ikaria wariootia, is a wormlike animal about the size of a grain of rice, and it appears to be the earliest e… Continue reading Oldest ancestor of almost all animals found in Australian fossils
Battery researchers place a lot of focus on making the devices safer, and scientists at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) are reporting a promising advance in this area. The team’s newly developed safety feature acts as a “spillway” in lith… Continue reading Modified battery separator acts as a “spillway” to prevent fires
While we’ve already seen materials that allow people or objects to hide from heat-detecting cameras, they’re typically only effective at one ambient temperature. An experimental new material, however, can be user-adjusted to work over a wide range.Cont… Continue reading Heat-camo material can be adjusted to match ambient temperature
For people afflicted with multiple sclerosis (MS), it can be difficult to quantify how their condition fluctuates over short periods of time. According to a new study, though, an existing device is able to detect subtle changes that might otherwise be … Continue reading Gesture-control armband also keeps a close eye on MS
It’s hard to imagine a world without the lithium-ion batteries that power today’s laptops and mobile devices, but the technology does have its limits. One way scientists are working to break a bottleneck of energy density and greatly extend the battery… Continue reading Ultrasound-equipped battery prevents potential fires with sound waves
Everything needs to be online nowadays, from vending machines to smart speakers, but that connectivity costs in terms of bulk and energy use. Now researchers have come up with a chip that gets devices connected with 5,000 times less power draw than nor… Continue reading Low power, tiny chip could see connected smart devices go battery-free
Cardiovascular diseases are the number one killer in the world – and it turns out we might have a two million year old ancestor to blame. Researchers at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) have pinpointed a single gene that ancient … Continue reading A single gene mutation 2 million years ago may have made humans prone to heart disease
The electrical activity of the lab-grown mini-brains was similar to that seen in premature infants and may help researchers understand brain development disorders. Continue reading Lab-Grown Mini-Brains Spontaneously Produced ‘Human-Like’ Brain Waves for the First Time
Ransomware called IKARUSdilapidated is managing to slip into unsuspecting organizations as an unknown file.
