It’s not a secret that illegal business is one of the most profitable ventures across the globe. The most unpopular of them, the drug trafficking covers a major part of the revenue of all illegal criminal activities. According to the United...
Researchers create world’s smallest tic-tac-toe board game using dynamic DNA origami technology. The technology could make it possible to modify and repair various parts of nanoscale machines. In biological systems, the dynamic interactions...
Researchers create VR display of what remains after a star dies. They built a model of a supernova remnant called Cassiopeia A, using data from Chandra X-ray Observatory and Spitzer Space Telescope. Cassiopeia A is the youngest known supernova...
Researchers build a new system that can solve a quintessential discrete optimization problem, called MaxSAT. This analog solver performs better than digital computers, and can be extended to other optimization problems as well. Today’s...
Researchers found a new way to embed solar cells into yarn, which can then be woven into textiles. A small textile with 200 cells generates 2.5 – 10 volts of electric potential. It’s enough to charge a mobile phone and a smartwatch. ...
A new study confirms the presence of two different types of responses to injury: withdrawal reflex and pain-coping response. Each response is controlled by separate nerve-signaling pathways. Animals exhibit two types of response to painful stimuli...
Researchers develop a new system to control flying drones with eyes. This includes a lightweight eye-tracking glasses and inertial measurement unit. The glasses provide a 2D gaze coordinates, which is further converted in 3D using a deep neural...
Storytelling is a powerful approach, when done right, it can attract visitors to convert more effectively. Designing a website with visual storytelling is a big challenge. Not every visual story has to be interactive, however, must be engaging. If...
Researchers develop a cutting-edge way to create arrays of nanofibers. These nanoscale fibers could make new materials with incredible capabilities. The new method was inspired by water-repelling lotus leaves and gravity-defying gecko feet. ...
The web industry evolves every year to stay engaging and inspiring. While some of the last year’s trends will continue to shape and influence the designs, the new elements like broken grid layout, emergence of maximalism, more pervasive...
Researchers examine data of 7 million stars obtain from Gaia space observatory. They found 30,000 stars moving in odd-directions in our galaxy. These stars belong to a different galaxy named Gaia-Enceladus. The assembly of the Milky Way galaxy can...
Researchers simulate a miniature brain to analyze how bees count things. They found that bees can count up to 5 items with just four brain cells. The study shows that intelligence doesn’t necessarily require large-size brains. Many...
