Researchers in Purdue University’s Robert and Anne Burnett Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. They created a new type of invisibility cloak that is simpler than previous designs and works for all colors of the visible spectrum, making it possible to cloak larger objects than before and possibly leading to practical applications in “transformation optics. the [...]

Radioactive wastes are waste products containing radioactive materials. They are usually the products of nuclear processes, such as nuclear fission. However, industries not directly connected to the nuclear industry may produce large quantities of radioactive waste. Recently, it has been reported in ScienceDaily that Scientists in Germany and India are reporting development of a new polymer [...]

Look at the video! The team of doctors from the Heart Hospital in London, joining with the computer animators from Glassworks, have created a model of heart–a virtual heart–that can be used by heart specialist. NewScientist reported that this super-realistic computer model makes it possible to explore the heart’s anatomy in ways not possible in [...]

As well as green plants and algae, some bacteria are also capable of using the energy in sunlight, to get their energy through photosynthesis. The green bacteria are particularly specialised for growth at very low light intensities. The ability of green bacteria to grow at very low light intensities depends on the way the light-absorbing [...]
