Researchers have architecturally designed plate-nanolattices nanometer-sized carbon structures that are stronger than diamonds as a ratio of strength to density. The teams design has been shown to improve on the average performance of cylindrical beam-based architectures by up …
In 1974, AT and T’s US $26 billion in revenuesthe equivalent of $82 billion todayrepresents 1.4 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product. The next-largest enterprise, sprawling General Motors Corp., is a third its size, dwarfed by AT and T’s …
Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) has raised a billion dollars in a financing round with two new investors, Google and Fidelity. They join existing investors Founders Fund, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Valor Equity Partners and Capricorn. Google and Fidelity will collectively own …
1. Atomic Insights – Neural network analysis “unequivocally” reveals threshold dose response in atomic bomb victims Radiation doses below about 100 – 200 mSv suppress cancer. That bold, conventional wisdom-challenging statement is supported by an incredibly important paper titled Cancer …
From the moment life gained a foothold on Earth the diversity of organisms has been written in a DNA code of four letters. The latest study moves life beyond G, T, C and A the molecules or bases that …
Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed software that allows them to map unknown environments such as collapsed buildings based on the movement of a swarm of insect cyborgs, or biobots. We focused on how to map …
Project Icarus President Richard Obousy gave an overview of the projects and work of the Icarus interstellar starship studies to the Centuari Dreams website. Project Icarus is an engineering challenge and designer capability exercise to design an unmanned fusion based, …
ESAero,studied hybrid propulsion systems, became convinced that conventional, non-superconducting electrical systems could be made to work in a large aircraft. It was funded by NASA Ames to take the ECO-150 concept and rework it around ambient-temperature generator and motor technology …
GE just announced a partnership with Google to license Google maps for use in its geographic information system (GIS) dubbed Smallworld. Smallworld is a set of software tools used by engineers to help design and manage things like electric grids, …
In five to seven years, solar cells will have become much cheaper and only one-twentieth as thick as current solar cells. The trick is to deceive the sunlight with microbeads. Nanoscientists are currently developing the next generation of solar cells, …
