Platinum-coated Virus to become Super Memory of the Future

The phrase “my computer has got virus!” may just take on a new meaning in the future. Researchers have invented a way to coat 30-nanometre-long chunks of tobacco mosaic virus with platinum nano-particles, creating a transistor with very fast switching speed. And by combining millions of these transistors, super-fast memory chips could be created to [...]

Scientists Achieved Breakthrough in Teleportation

We are now officially one step closer to Star Trek-like teleportation. Two years ago, teleportation between two atoms at a distance of a fraction of a millimeter was achieved. But today, Danish scientist Eugene Polzik and his team of scientists have managed to perform teleportation between two different objects, light and matter, at a distance [...]

Claudia Mitchell, First Woman to Receive a Bionic Arm

Claudia Mitchell, 26, lost her left arm some time ago from a motorcycle accident. It is a painful experience as she describes how it changed her life, such as having to overcome something as simple as peeling a banana. Now, her life is getting a dramatic change again, but for the better. Defense Advanced Research Projects [...]

Electric Current to Remotely Steer Humans

As crazy as it sounds, it’s true. Researchers from the Prince of Wales Medical Research Institute, University of New South Wales and University College London have came up with a way to have a person who was walking straight to be steered remotely to the left or right. In their demonstration, they successfully steered blindfolded people [...]

Transparent Fiber Spheres That Could Replace Lenses

Detecting light has always been the realm of lenses. Much like the retina in our eyes, lenses are limited by direction and field of view. But with the development of a new transparent light-detecting fiber by Professor Yoel Fink of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and the Research Lab of Electronics in MIT, [...]

Technology Breakthrough: A Cure For Blindness

Dr. Keith Mathieson from the University of Glasgow’s department of physics is all set out to combat the two common forms of blindness. And what he uses is a technology very similar to the digital cameras that we’re all familiar with. Dr Mathieson said, “By implanting a device into the eye, we hope we will be [...]
