You may have noticed that on some take-away drink cup lids, there are small domes that can be “popped down” to indicate what sort of beverage is in the cup. Scientists now believe that similar domes could help drones monitor the air pressure on their w… Continue reading Drink cup lids inspire a system that could keep drones flying safely
Given the difficulty in diagnosing the Alzheimer’s, scientists are exploring all kinds of avenues when it comes to techniques that may reveal the disease in its early stages, and new research out of the University of Tennessee (UT) is a particularly interesting example. The study authors have investigated the way pain perception may vary in those susceptible to developing the disease, and have teased out some useful differences they hope could one day translate into an inexpensive diagnostic tool.

It can be hard enough for search parties to find human remains on open ground, but in dense forests, it’s even more difficult. That’s why scientists are now proposing the use of aerial drones, which would look for telltale changes in trees’ leaves.Cont… Continue reading Foliage-analyzing drones could help locate dead bodies
Carbon dioxide is an all too common waste product of industry, belched into the air in huge amounts from smokestacks. Now, researchers have developed a new type of fluorinated membrane that can selectively filter CO2 out of flue gas at the point of rel… Continue reading Fluorinated membrane breaks a limit for capturing carbon dioxide
