Researchers are one step closer to creating solid oxide fuel cells
Solid oxide fuel cells could become more affordable and commonplace thanks to a recent study that successfully identified more than 50 candidate materials, reported a NanoWerk article. The new materials could allow a fuel cell to run at lower temperatures, which leads to a longer lifespan and cheaper costs. Materials researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) […]

Newest NASA spacesuit uses revamped Apollo-era “waste disposal systems” – astronauts can stay in them for a week
In a throwback to the past, NASA is developing a new spacesuit with a built-in toilet. The last such waste disposal system served the Apollo astronauts, and the new one is expected to improve on that ancestral 1970s system, reported a LiveScience article. The Orion Crew Survival Systems Suits (OCSSS) are the next-generation spacesuits for […]

Skin sensor made from stretchable electronics could revolutionize stroke recovery
Stroke patients and physicians can get live and accurate readings of the patient’s recovering body thanks to newly-developed stretchable electronic sensors. Science Daily reported the new bio-sensor is small enough to be worn outdoors, rugged enough to function during therapy sessions, and precise enough to be used for advanced medical care. The device is the latest concept of John […]

Prove you’re HUMAN: Real-time Captcha technique relies on human answers to unusual questions
In a happy marriage of old Captcha and new biometric techniques, researchers have devised a new verification methodology called Real-Time Captcha. It presents real-time puzzles that will throw artificial intelligence for a loop and protect the accounts of human users, reported a ScienceDaily article. Real-Time Captcha is a logical evolution of current biometric techniques based on facial photos […]

In the near future, paint colors may be grown from bacteria
In the future, the paint applied to a wall or sprayed on a car body might feature bacterial colonies that can change color according to your liking or lighting, suggested a NanoWerk article. This development is possible thanks to British researchers who unlocked the genes responsible for many bright and vivid colors Mother Nature likes […]

DISCOVERY: Egg whites the “missing link” for low-cost production of clean hydrogen fuel
Eggs have long been a delicious and fulfilling source of energy for groggy people who need protein in their stomach. But now, a Japanese research team suggested that egg whites can be used to make a clean-burning fuel for power generation, reported Science Daily. Study leader Hiroyasu Tabe of the Osaka City University said hydrogen shows promise […]

Russia’s new “future soldier” armor looks like something straight out of a video game
Some people say the late, great techno-thriller writer Tom Clancy had an uncanny knack for predicting the future. But perhaps even he didn’t foresee Russia’s new “future soldier” concept, which looked like it plagiarized a video game featuring Clancy’s brand name, reported the Daily Mail. The Deputy Prime Minister of Russia recently tweeted a graphic of a futuristic Russian soldier covered from […]

Photon torpedoes and light sabers closer to becoming reality as scientists create new form of light
We may be getting closer to the day when we finally see if a light saber can stop a photon torpedo. That’s because American researchers have succeeded in getting photons to interact and combine with each other to create what is essentially a new form of light, reported an MIT News article. Photons are elementary […]

New thermoelectric technology harvests power from temperature fluctuations
Massachusetts researchers have invented the first of a new breed of thermoelectric devices, reported Science Daily. Dubbed the “thermal resonator,” it can generate electricity from its surroundings on a 24/7 basis for years. Thermoelectric devices convert heat from sunlight into electricity. A thermal resonator, on the other hand, taps the regular shifts in temperature that take place throughout […]
