Scientists develop new tape that can keep its stickiness even in the most extreme temperatures
Anyone who’s ever worked with any form tape has most likely had trouble getting it to stick on really hot or really cold surfaces. The adhesives used in various tapes today can end up loosing their stickiness when exposed to extreme temperatures, while leaving behind an annoying residue. A recent study, however, has come up with […]

Turning up the heat: Newly developed material can block solar heat from escaping
The generation of heat, whether for home or industrial use, is one of the largest consumers of energy in modern society. This is despite the fact that a large, natural source of heat exists in the form of the Sun. However, scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new material that can […]

Fighting disease with technology: NASA helps WHO track malaria outbreaks using satellite data
Being able to track the spread of disease outbreaks is an important step in keeping them under control. Now, a new “weapon” has entered the fray that can give public health officials and pest control companies alike a bird’s eye view of how these diseases are spreading — satellites. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration […]

Scientists develop an algorithm that can scan millions of papers, PREDICT discoveries and “uncover hidden knowledge”
Machine learning algorithms have been used to train artificial intelligence to do a number of amazing things, from playing chess to predicting customer preferences. Now, a group of researchers used machine learning to try to uncover hidden scientific knowledge. Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy‘s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have created a machine learning algorithm, called Word2vec, […]

Study: New radioactivity model indicates lost continents of early Earth, challenging current models
Current geological models of Earth’s past tend to assume that the seven continents as we know them have been consistent throughout out planet’s history. A recent study, however, has called that into doubt, hinting at the possibility that other continents may have come and gone in our planet’s prehistoric past. Scientists at the University of Adelaide in Australia have published […]

From cold to hot: Scientists conduct experiment that allows the reversal of heat flow
The laws of physics state that when a hot object and cold object touch, heat will flow from the former to the latter until both are the same temperature. However, as part of a recent study, scientists have demonstrated the opposite — having heat flow into a hot object from a cold one. The study […]

Is a kilogram still equivalent to 2.2 pounds? Scientists aim to reinvent the kilogram using the Kibble balance
For over a century now, the definition of “kilogram” has remained constant. However, that may soon change as scientists move to change the measure’s basis – from a solid piece of metal to something called a Kibble balance. Since it was first conceived back in 1889, the standard on which the kilogram was based has been the International Prototype Kilogram […]

Scientists develop graphene using eucalyptus bark
As one of the thinnest, most flexible and conductive materials known to man, graphene is an important material for technologies such as flexible nanoelectronics and fuel cells. Recently, a team of researchers from Australia and India has figured out how to add “sustainable” and “affordable” to graphene’s list of attributes as well. A new method for […]

Engineers develop “Vegebot” that can harvest lettuce
While using machines to harvest crops isn’t a new concept, using a robot that does so through machine learning is. A team of engineers from the University of Cambridge developed a vegetable-picking robot that uses machine learning to harvest a commonplace, but challenging, agricultural crop: lettuce. The team, led by Cambridge’s Dr. Fumiya Iida, initially trained their […]

Energy from an unlikely source: A combination of microbes and graphene could make inexpensive and eco-friendly energy
The quest for renewable energy has led some scientists to think small, that is, on a microscopic scale. A recent study has demonstrated how mixing microbes and a carbon nanomaterial can be used to help create biohybrid materials that can be used in several green energy applications. Led by Pascal Sailaly, a team at the […]
