Scientists study how flies fly to build better-balanced drones
An Ohio-based research team published the results of their experiments on several different species of flies. They believe their findings can improve the ability of aerial drones to maintain balance during flight, an article in Science Daily stated. They experimented on a pair of organic structures found on black flies, hoverflies, and flesh flies. Called […]

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 […]

Bacterium shows promise for producing solar fuels through artificial photosynthesis
American researchers force-fed gold nanoparticles to a non-photosynthetic bacteria. The offering of precious metal bits gave the microbe the ability to turn light into solar fuel, reported a Nanowerk article. Moorella thermoacetica is not normally capable of photosynthesis. Researchers from the University of California Berkeley (UC Berkeley) added cadmium sulfide nanoparticles to the exterior of […]

Scientists identify 3 key problems in developing energy-efficient lithium-ion batteries
Just what is stopping the battery industry from cramming all the power we can ever want inside a new generation of lithium-ion batteries? A research team from Washington University in St. Louis (WashU) determined the three biggest stumbling blocks to boosting the energy efficiency of this particular type of battery. The first is size. Normally, when an existing battery needs to hold […]

First wireless insect-size robot takes flight
American researchers unveiled the newest flying robot that will take to the air. A CNBC article reported that the microbot is the size and shape of a small flying bug. The insectoid robot can be controlled through wireless means like laser directors. These miniature aerial drones can be used to look for leaks in oil […]

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 […]

Norwegian scientists are working on modifying electric cars so that blind pedestrians can hear them approaching
One of the qualities that makes an electric car so appealing to drivers also makes it a deadly danger to pedestrians. An electric vehicle makes very little noise, so blind pedestrians or people in noisy areas will never hear the silent car coming their way. So Norway wants all such cars to make enough noise to be heard. The Scandinavian […]

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 […]

MIT researchers develop new method that makes it possible to mass produce tiny robots no bigger than a cell
American researchers can now produce large numbers of microscopic robots that are no bigger than a single cell. These synthetic cell (syncell) robots are made en masse by fracturing graphene sheets to produce pockets of the right shape and size in a process called “autoperforation.” The pockets produced by this process will be fitted with […]

Groundbreaking new technology could allow 100x faster internet speeds
How can you get ludicrously fast broadband internet speeds to go 100 times faster? By twisting beams of light so that they can haul even more data and process all that information much faster, reported an article in Nanowerk. A broadband fiber-optics network works by encoding data into the appropriate pulses of light. These pulses travel […]
