7 Tips for Success No Matter What You Do

  Success looks different to everyone. To some, it might be wealth, to others power, and to some, it might be family. All ideas of success are valid, and no matter what your success looks like to you, it is something that you must work at to achieve. Success can be built on your motivation. You need to know how […]

Hair Thin Electrode Wires

When it comes to accurately reading the brain’s electrical signals, many systems utilize implantable electrodes. A new technology is reportedly less invasive yet just as accurate, as it swaps regular electrodes for ultra-thin wires. The system is being developed via a partnership between scientists at Britain’s Francis Crick Institute, University College London, and California’s Stanford University. Instead of conventional electrodes […]

Stretchable Supercapacitors 

We’ve seen flexible supercapacitor designs before, but how about one that’s stretchable? A new discovery by researchers at Duke University and Michigan State University could lead to an excellent stretchable power source for wearable electronics. Supercapacitors, of course, are known for their excellent power density, charging and discharging a lot of energy quickly and having a longer lifespan than chemical […]

Plant Based Plastic Biodegradables

Whether it’s entangling marine animals, clogging their guts when they eat it, or forming giant floating “garbage patches,” oceanic plastic waste is a huge problem. There may be new hope however, in the form of what is claimed to be a better type of marine-biodegradable plastic. First of all, various groups have already developed plastics that harmlessly biodegrade in the […]

Bacteria Produce Protein 

Fats are important for providing energy for the body – but as we all know, too much of the stuff is bad for us. Triglycerides are a form of fat that circulates through the bloodstream, and high levels can lead to obesity and related illnesses. Now, researchers at the University of Cincinnati have found a way to produce a protein […]

Next Generation Of QuadCycle

One of the more interesting urban delivery solutions of recent years, the pedal-assist electric quadracycles from Electric Assisted Vehicles Ltd (EAV) pull together a small footprint, zero-emissions driving and versatile cargo-carrying capabilities. Since we first looked at its prototypes about a year ago, EAV has announced a family of urban cargo vehicles that includes a tractor-trailer and refrigerated quadcycles. Now […]

Using Ultrasound Waves To Detect Disease 

One physiological consequence of cancer and other diseases spreading throughout the body can be the hardening of the structure surrounding cells called the extracellular matrix. Scientists at Purdue University have now developed a new way to detect such changes through the use of sound waves, offering a potential new tool to track disease progression. The stiffness of the extracellular matrix […]

Cellular Seafood

Take the “sea” out of seafood and what have you got left? Well, “food,” obviously. But also quite possibly the makings of a multibillion-dollar industry. At least, that’s the hope of a group of intrepid startups offering a fishier remix of the high-tech meat alternatives made famous by companies like Memphis Meats. These startups are doing the same; only instead of […]

Google Maps Adds Coronavirus Warning To Doctor & Medical Facilities 

Google Maps added a coronavirus warning whenever someone searches for nearby medical locations.  The warning message encourages people to follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) protocols if they plan on visiting a doctor for coronavirus, officially known as COVID-19. The message says, “COVID-19 alert: Call your doctor before visiting if you may have COVID-19.”  By clicking the […]
