It is located between France and Switzerland and operated by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). The world’s largest atom smasher is gearing up for its second three-year run after 16 months of maintenance and upgrades. Physicists to record more information…

Gravitational-wave astronomy is an emerging branch of observational astronomy which aims to use gravitational waves (minute distortions of spacetime predicted by Einstein’s theory of general relativity) to collect observational data about objects such as neutron stars and black holes, events…

The immune system relies on antibodies that can recognize only a single protein. “We wanted to figure out methods to graft complete, intact electronic circuits onto colloidal particles”, explains Michael Strano, the Carbon C. Dubbs Professor of Chemical Engineering at…

China is running its Space Lab alone and is not part of the International Project that currently maintains the International Space Station (ISS). China will seek to establish an international lunar base one day, possibly using 3d printing technology to…

Semiconductors that efficiently convert energy to light or vice versa. Now, next-generation semiconducting materials are exploring new study, researchers have driven modern advances in technology and photovoltaics yet again. Essentially, 2D materials are at the cutting edge of materials research.…

Researchers developed a new method for transforming adult human skin cells directly into motor neurons without the need for stem cells. Their results were published today in the journal Cell. A very important aspect of avoiding the stem cell state allows the…

A new video from AIST, Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, shows a prototype robot designed to work on construction sites in situations where there is a shortage of human workers. While large factory assembly lines are rapidly…

One reason to keep exposure levels low in water and draining the water entering your home. Naturally occurring element found in food, water, air, and soil. A study published in Consumer Reports this week with the results of the organization’s…

The International Space Station is an obvious example. In some countries it is optional for citizens to pay taxes toward maintaining Religious Institutions. Contributions would come from basement SCI-FI fans to visionary CEO’s. I believe in what Elon Musk and…

Massive stars die show that stars like the sun weren’t made planetaries. You can picture a snap shot of the early Universe, somewhere around 100,000 years after the Big Bang. The problem in the early universe was, even though things were cooling down, molecular…
