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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

After the first cases of touch-emotion synaesthesia discovered in NewScientist last year, recently the regions of our DNA that wire some people to “see” sounds have been discovered. NewScientist reported,  Julian Asher at Imperial College London, and colleagues from the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics at the University of Oxford took genetic samples from 196 [...]

DNA known to be the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms.  It works as the main information source of our body molecules. It consists of different codes–this is the reason–why every body must have a unique pattern of the code,  except families. Different person come with different codes, this is the basic [...]

Driving at night is not as easy as driving at day light. People tends to feel sleepy, and this is one of the cause of accidents in the highway. Seeing this, the giant car maker–Toyota–are now developing a system to rouse drivers before they quite literally drift off completely. It works as a warning system by [...]
