In a two-part paper, a team of scientists from MIT, Caltech, and University of Technology in Munich examined network coding and ways to both minimize…
Scientists at the University of Basel in Switzerland were able to analyze the genetic sequences of the PRKCA gene in over 700 healthy young volunteers….
Scientists at the Berkeley Lab have developed a way to generate power using harmless viruses that convert mechanical energy into electricity. Their generator is the…
Chinese physicists have just broken the previous record for quantum teleportation with the creation of a pair of entangled protons over a distance of almost…
While exposure to low-dose-rate radiation from cosmic radiation and natural radioactive isotopes in the environment is part of everyday life, a new study from MIT…
In an effort to harness the power of ocean waves, engineers designed and built a floating “power buoy” that measures 8 feet across, 10 feet…
Looking to nature for technological inspiration is nothing new and now a team of scientists are hoping that new insights into spider fangs and the…
In preparation for Curiosity’s exploration of Mount Sharp on Mars, NASA engineers took a test rover out to the desert for last-minute training in the…
Archaeologists have discovered the earliest evidence of the sophisticated astronomy and the time-keeping rituals of the ancient Mayan people, deep under the earth in the…
A team of engineers and scientists just completed work on NDCX-II, a special-purpose particle accelerator designed to produce a high-quality, dense beam that can rapidly…
The weak Golbach conjecture states that you can break up any odd number into the sum of, at most, three prime numbers. Prime numbers cannot…
