Space flight milestone: Next-gen ion engine may one day send Americans to Mars
In a few more years, American astronauts will return to the Moon. Not long afterwards, they will embark on the very first manned journey to Mars. Their future spacecraft will be propelled by a new generation of ion engines, the prototype of which has just passed an important test. In a New Atlas article, aerospace […]

Scientists: Solar-powered water splitting is a promising means of generating clean energy
Water is already a vital component of human life, but scientists have found yet another use for it — as a source of clean fuel. It comprises two oxygen atoms and a hydrogen atom — the latter, in particular, is an increasingly popular energy source because it is easily stored and holds a lot of energy. […]

Creepy “patient simulator” dolls look just like humans and can even bleed, urinate, and SCREAM
Medical school is creepy enough as it is: Students get to test their surgical skills on dead human bodies and live animals. An article in The Daily Mail reported about the chilling way with which a Russian company has decided to up the creepiness factor. In Kazan, Russia, a factory is rolling out “patient simulator” dolls called […]

Scientists are testing a “cyborg cockroach” for use in search-and-rescue missions
If ever you get trapped in a wreckage or ruins after an accident or a disaster, the rescuer that finds you could be a cockroach – one that is remotely controlled by humans through a miniaturized neuro-controller mounted on its back. A research team from the University of Connecticut (UConn) created the device to manipulate […]

New type of battery made of paper and fueled by bacteria is both inexpensive and portable
There are a few things in the world that are cheaper and lighter than paper. Researchers have come up with a battery made from that common material – and it will be powered by bacteria. These bacteria-powered energy storage systems could be ideal for areas that are either too far from the power grid or lack […]

Russia tests an active-powered exoskeleton that enables soldiers to fire machine guns with one hand
Killer robots that can lift and fire machine guns with one mechanical hand might be coming soon. In fact, Russian soldiers will soon be able to pull off the same action hero gesture thanks to the new exoskeleton they are testing out, an article in TASS reported. Developed by the TsNiiTochMash industrial design bureau, the Soldier Combat […]

Scientists create a material that has near-zero friction at engineering scale
American researchers have improved upon their earlier graphene-based lubricant. Their revised formula can actually generate itself and has a longer useful lifespan compared to other solid lubricants, an article in Nanowerks reported. Superlubricity is a state where there is very little friction. A surface coated by a superlubricant is very slippery and barely gives off […]

Looking into the future of robotics in the field of medical rehabilitation
German researchers are developing robotic replacements for human medical therapists. The socially assistive robots (SARs) will be placed in charge of physical rehabilitation of human patients who are recovering from serious illnesses, an article in Science Daily stated. The generally improving state of medical know-how will enable more patients to survive strokes and other serious diseases. […]

Is this the most wear-resistant metal in the world? This alloy is 100x more durable than high-strength steel
High-strength steel just became the second most durable metal in the world. American researchers recently presented a new metal alloy that is 100 times more resistant to wear and tear. Made from gold and platinum, the alloy is the first of its kind to match the durability of diamond and sapphire. It could skid around […]

Engineers develop metal tags that you can attach to common objects and turn them into “smart” devices
Turning an everyday object into a smart device is now as easy as slapping a metal tag on it. Capable of being produced by any 3D printer, the electronic tag hooks up the item to the Internet of Things, an article in Science Daily stated. Dubbed “LiveTag,” each unit is made up of substrate materials. The […]
