“Jaw-dropping” method scans hormones, medications, and small molecules in as little as 30 minutes
California-based researchers announced that they found a much faster way to scan the 3D structures of certain small molecules. Their improved approach provides incredibly clear images of objects the size of certain hormones within a few hours or even just 30 minutes. They took an existing technique called micro-electron diffraction (MicroED) and adjusted it to work on molecules […]

Astronomers find strong evidence of a frigid alien world just 6 light years away from the sun
Our Sun’s second closest neighboring star might not be alone, after all. A recent Spanish astronomical study theorized that a massive exoplanet is orbiting Barnard’s Star. The newly-discovered world is believed to be a frozen planet that is several times bigger than Earth. Named after an American astronomer, Barnard’s Star is a red dwarf star […]

Engineers are developing a new class of nanofibers that mimic polar bear fur, lotus leaves, and gecko feet
A newly-engineered class of nanofibers will be able to copy the unique properties found in natural materials. Coatings made from these nanomaterials can match the warmth of the white fur of polar bears, repel water like the lotus plant, and stick to surfaces like the sure-footed geckos. The nanofibers are the creation of researchers from the University of […]

Innovative method allows researchers to control magnetism, leading to better low-power technologies
American researchers announced a breakthrough in the manipulation of the magnetic properties of a microchip. Their new approach could solve long-standing physical problems that are preventing much-needed advances in computing, memory, and sensor technology. In the joint study between MIT and Brookhaven National Laboratory (Brookhaven), researchers demonstrated how they can alter the magnetic properties of a very thin material with just a little […]

Revolutionary microscopy technique allows scientists to better understand amyloid-based diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
A new breed of powerful microscopes has enabled British researchers to make huge strides in the study of amyloid diseases. According to a Science Daily article, cryo-electron microscopes have enabled new discoveries about the proteins that cause Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, and Parkinson’s diseases. These powerful instruments use electrons to view the shape of the samples. They can discern […]

Scientists create a “bionic mushroom” that produces electricity
What do you get when you combine an edible mushroom, photosynthetic bacteria, 3D printing, and nanotechnology in one package? A solar-powered bionic fungus, stated a Phys.org article, which can produce usable electricity. This Frankenstein’s Monster is the brainchild of researchers from the Stevens Institute of Technology (Stevens). They used a 3D printer to create cyanobacteria clusters and graphene-based nanoribbons, which […]

Star Trek-like tractor beam being developed by researchers in South Australia
The tractor beam is a staple piece of science fiction stories like Star Wars and Star Trek. Australian researchers came up with a real-life energy trap that can grab objects as small and light as an atom and pull that captured object toward it. Powered by infrared light, the newly developed tractor beam device promises […]

New framework speeds the process of teaching robots how to do basic tasks
Stanford roboticists came up with a pair of learning frameworks wherein humans acted as teachers and parents to machines that were learning to perform simple skills. The experts conclude that a robot picked up a skill at a faster rate if a human was teaching it. The frameworks were called RoboTurk and SURREAL. Each framework could operate […]

Technological advancement makes it possible to mass produce tiny spectrometers using standard chip-making processes
MIT researchers came up with a novel way to produce smaller and cheaper spectrometers – by leveraging existing techniques to manufacture computer chips. A spectrometer is an instrument that can tell the difference between various wavelengths of light. It can find out the chemical composition of an object based on the light it reflects. The […]

Inventors create ultra-light glove that enables users to feel and manipulate virtual objects
European engineers recently unveiled a haptic glove that can be used in virtual reality systems. The glove, which they called DextrES, sends “extremely realistic” feedback that will make a user think that the virtual object within his or her fingertips is the real deal and not a computer illusion. The goal shared by many engineers and software developers is to make […]
