It was reported in ScienceDaily that the researchers from Ohio State University have developed a new strategy to overcome one of the major obstacles to a grand challenge in physics, that intimately linked to the making of light crystals. Before, in the year of 2008, the researchers from Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) had an [...]

The technology of hydrogen cars has been stepping closer to reality. California and Japan have many hydrogen cars being used as fleet vehicles now. Researchers at the Hydrogen Systems Laboratory at Purdue’s Maurice J. Zucrow Laboratories have developed a critical part of a hydrogen storage system for cars that makes it possible to fill up a [...]

It was revealed in Nature Neuroscience that the high level action video games increase a player’s real-world vision. But Daphne Bavelier, professor of brain and cognitive sciences at the University of Rochester, found that very practiced action gamer have an increase in their ability to discern slight differences in shades of gray as 58 [...]

Biofuel known to be the solid, liquid or gaseous fuel derived from relatively recently dead biological material and is distinguished from fossil fuels, which are derived from long dead biological material. This gives us an information that biofuel can be derived from fossil fuels, and fossil fuels derived from long dead living material. What about deriving the [...]

Scientists believe that parkinson is intimately linked to brain, where it occurs when a group of cells in an area of the brain called the substantia nigra begin to malfunction and die. Parkinson happens in the form of movement disorder that is chronic and progressive that can be worsen over time.  You know, nearly one [...]

To date, the term of “battery” is often used for the electronic equipment. Battery substitutes the use of electricity for some devices. What pops up in your mind when I say that nowadays, we can find battery for car? Is that possible? Certainly it is. The nanoball battery has been developed to be used for car, exactly [...]

What does it feel when you can interact with an environment or the world you’ve imagined for so long? Do you have thoughts when the world in your dream, or the place you want to visit are now no longer imagination, but real?  Now, with the first virtual reality headset, it is no longer impossible to [...]

The maturity of technology has entered a new phase. This time, it is not impossible anymore for soldiers to have the first surgery help, eventhough the closest field hospital is more than an hour away. A non-profit lab SRI International, based in Menlo Park, California claimed that the device called Trauma Pod will enable soldiers [...]

People who are dangerously in obese now have an option for the obesity solution, instead of gastric surgery. GI Dynamics of Lexington, Massachusetts, now developing an EndoBarrier, an impermeable sleeve in capsule form that inserted via mouth using an endoscope. Before, it has been tested in animals and successfully reduced weight and rapidly brings type II [...]

Nanotechnology seems to be the solution for human problem now. Wheter it is a cancer, tumor, heart monitoring, or even a synthetic brain. After the scientist in USA–led by Professor Alice Parker, University of Southern California–informed that they are attempting to build neurons from carbon nanotubes to emulate human brain function, ScienceDaily yesterday reported that “synthetic [...]
