California has already announced its intention of cutting down water usage by a good 20 percent by 2020 to ensure that it makes a turn towards the green. They hope to get this done by turning towards cutting edge technology that will help them with both r
Robots have rapidly evolved from being a fringe phenomenon to becoming an integral part of our lives. Today, almost every car made on our planet has some or the other input from a robot during the production phase. The same can be said for consumer electr
Most of us do not have to deal with jolting earthquakes on a fairly regular basis unless you happen to be living somewhere along the Pacific Ring of Fire. Even then, you most likely will not have to deal with the threats of bombing and shelling on an equa
Imagine the huge quantity of power that the whole of United States uses at any point of time. Now, multiply this expansive figure by one thousand, and you get the utterly gargantuan scope of the astronomical power generated by world’s most powerful laser,
While most of us concentrate on making a building effectively a zero-energy structure by incorporating alternative sources of energy such as solar rooftops and small wind turbines a team of architects from University of Michigan are looking elsewhere. And
Graphene seems to be the favorite subject of research off late and it is understandable why. Every modern gadget and cutting edge technology, that ranges from simple transistors to nanotechnology, use graphene at some level. But till very recently it was
Grzegorz Milczarek and Olle Inganas have come up with an ingenious new idea that could make batteries a lot cheaper and also ecologically safe when compared to the current models. These two researchers are proposing the use of Lignin based material as a c
Scientists from across the planet seem to have come together to unravel the mysteries behind the thermoelectric conundrum that they have been facing since long. Researchers from Chinese Academy of Science’s Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Brookhaven Natio
Whenever we think of robots, many of us are bound to have reveries of those glimmering metallic contraptions moving around and doing our bidding. However, in this case, some scientists at Virginia Tech from United States have managed to notch it up a leve
It has been just over a year since the horrible events that unfolded in Japan which to the situation at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant leaking nuclear contamination into the adjacent ocean area. Experts claim that it would take another 40 years, at t
