Quantum computers are not supposed to check your emails, update status, or do normal software/hardware tasks. Instead, they are based on something more complex – Quantum Mechanics. Quantum computer deals with particle much smaller than the size of atom. At such smaller scale, rules of physics do not make any sense. This is where exciting ...

The new AI can precisely estimate biological age and major risk factors related to health.  It analyzes data collected by smartphones and wearable devices. Developers have released an app that observes how your daily activity pattern affects your life expectancy.   Many biological factors like gene expression, DNA and blood circulation levels show close correlation with age. ...

The massive stars in the universe are either red hypergiants or red supergiants; in extreme cases, they are more than 1,500 times bigger than the Sun. But what about the smallest stars? Are there stars smaller than our Sun? Well, actually there are. The smallest stars in the universe are generally the tiny (astronomically speaking) ...

Scientists used high sound waves to levitate water droplets to identify impurities in water.  This technique helped them to detect small scale heavy elements like cadmium and barium, within few minutes.  It could be used by pharmaceutical, agricultural and other industries for water analysis. Researchers at the Instituto de Ciencias Físicas UNAM, Mexico have levitated ...

Researchers have found a new high-temperature superconductive material – actinium hydrides.  They also created a method to measure hydrides superconductivity using the periodic table.  Superconductivity is the capability of specific material to conduct electric current with almost zero resistance. The material needs to be at extremely low temperature to behave as a superconductor. Some materials have ...

Researchers develop world’s first biosensor chips based copper and graphene oxide.  They’ve standard configuration, and thus are compatible with existing industrial biosensors.  They can be integrated in mobiles, wearable gadgets and even smart clothes. Biosensors are analytical instruments that convert a biological response into an electrical signal. Usually, a biosensor system contains biotransducer equipment, bio-recognition site, ...

Researchers develop a microscale vibrating glass ring that works as a circulator.  This small glass ring resonator interacts with light and directs it on an optical chip, without using magnets.  Circulators are crucial modules in communication technology. They transmit information from one node to another without any data loss in a network. Similarly an optical ...

The Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and the only intact man-made wonder of the ancient world. Surely it is one of the most mysterious and miraculous things in the world that still astound historians and a layman, like us, the same. But what makes it so mysterious? What is about the Pyramid that the ...

Physicists ‘rediscovered’ a material that could make ultrahigh-speed quantum internet a reality.  It’s silicon carbide (SiC).  It emits photons efficiently, and thus can transfer data at 1 Gbps on quantum cryptography protocols.  Quantum computing will soon revolutionize the digital machines. For the last couple of years, tech giants like IBM, Microsoft, Google, and leading research centers ...

Scientists develop a new microscope that can image subcellular dynamics in multicellular organisms.  To do this, they’ve combined Lattice light-sheet microscopy and Adaptive optics techniques.  They were able to observe organelles’ behavior as they shape themselves within cells, in real time.  In 1665, Robert Hooke used a microscope to look at a small slice of cork and discovered ...

According to the ICT global emission report, the carbon emission from smartphones has tripled in last 10 years. iPhone 6s generated 57 percent more carbon dioxide than iPhone 4s. By 2020, smartphones alone will be responsible for 45 percent of total ICT emission. Over the last couple of decades, ICT (information and communication technology) devices ...

It’s official now, NASA is sending a small autonomous helicopter to Mars. It’s supposed to help scout intriguing targets for research on Mars. This is the first test of a heavier-than-air vehicle on another planet. Below, we have covered all interesting aspects of this Mars helicopter, that will answer all your questions. What It Will ...
