A couple of years ago, researchers at NASA’s Johnson Space Centre discovered a thruster system which actually generates thrust, despite requiring absolutely no propellant. The implications of this discovery are far-reaching; applications for space flight and other technologies which require propulsion could one day become far cheaper, allowing space exploration to expand exponentially. The existence of this […]

The world’s first smart earpiece let’s two people, speaking different languages, understand each other through translation. It’s the result of two years of R&D from Waverly Labs, a New York-based technology firm. The current model seems to access a slight delay before relaying your partner’s words in a computerized voice, in your language. Integrating this […]

Water is one of the most precious resources on Earth, but its importance seems forgotten in the western world where its ease of access is often instantaneous. But for 768 million people worldwide, it’s a daily struggle to find safe water, and in result, 1,400 children under the age of five die from water-based diseases every day. Inspired to offer […]

While there are nuances to the claim made in this headline, it is technically true since Tesla announced that it turned a profit of $22 million last quarter while the US oil industry managed to lose $67 billion last year due to its inability to stomach lower gas prices, according to the U.S. Energy Information […]

Bioquark, a biotech company based in the United States, has been given the go-ahead to begin research on 20 brain-dead patients, in an attempt to stimulate and regrow neurons and, literally, bring the patients back from the dead. The technique is new and untested so the study will likely be controversial. By implanting stem […]

It seems that myth has finally become reality, now that scientists have crafted up the first human-animal hybrid recently in a lab experiment. Researchers from Salk Institute have defied the laws of nature by growing embryos that featured both pig and human DNA. The creation of human-animal hybrids has been a controversial topic that has […]

For months now, there’s been speculation that researchers might have finally created time crystals – strange crystals that have an atomic structure that repeats not just in space, but in time, putting them in perpetual motion without energy. Now it’s official – researchers have just reported in detail how to make and measure these bizarre […]

A company called Laser Power Systems has come up with an incredible concept for a thorium powered car. The thorium used in these cars means it wouldn’t need refuelling for over 100 years. Thorium is so dense in fact, that the fuel in this car would probably even outlive us. Thorium is among some of […]
