A new waterproof material has been developed by Swiss chemists. The nanotechnology based fabrics were made from polyester fibres coated with millions of tiny silicone filaments. Stefan Seeger, the lead researcher from University of Zurich said, this fabric is the most water repellent clothing appropriate material ever created. See the complete report here

A physical therapy is one of the important phase in the recovery process of patients who undergo joint replacement surgery. Usually, this process will take patients away from their bedside health monitors; but a new device is making it possible to safely monitor patients back to health. ScienceDaily reported that nowadays, surgeons have provided recent [...]

Many biotechnological processes in petrochemical industry are risky to environment. The process of making polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA for short) or acrylic glass, for instance. But recently, the researchers from University of Duisburg-Essen and the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), finally found a new technology that is far more environmentally friendly in the making of [...]

Wow! Way to go to the maturity of technology here, when the engineers and computer scientist work together. They developed a software to coordinate the movement of thousands of cars in case of an emergency situation, by analyzing the traffic flow. Well, I do learn Dynamic Programming Model in my college, but modeling the cars [...]

It was reported in ScienceDaily that the scientist from University of California have found first of a new class of cellular motor proteins that “rewind” sections of the double-stranded DNA that become unwound. Jim Kadonaga, one of the lead researcher explained that it is a big problem when a DNA is unwound. Even, this is the [...]
