Prof Woodward is in the minority in thinking that the consumer market will benefit widely from quantum computers What is a quantum computer and when can I have one? It makes use of all that “spooky” quantum stuff and vastly increases computing power, right? And they’ll be under every desk when scientists finally tame the

Image via Wikipedia Scientists have reported the development of a new battery-like device that opens the possibility that people one day could “recharge” cell phones, laptops, and other portable electronics in an unlikely way ? with a sugar fix from a shared sip of soda pop or even a dose of vegetable oil. They described

If implemented on a wide scale, quantum key distribution technology could ensure truly secure commerce, banking, communications and data transfer. The largest information technology agreement ever signed by Los Alamos National Laboratory brings the potential for truly secure data encryption to the marketplace after nearly 20 years of development at the nation’s premier national-security science

Researchers at the Toronto Western Hospital (TWH) Liver Clinic have found that a simple drug regimen delivered over 12 weeks achieved sustained eradication of several genotypes of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) in 99 per cent of the trial’s patients. The study, released today in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed that receiving a

Ultimately, the reduction totaled 75 percent Neuroscientists at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have made a dramatic breakthrough in their efforts to find a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. The researchers’ findings, published in the journal Science, show that use of a drug in mice appears to quickly reverse the pathological, cognitive and memory

Real-Time Observation of Nanowire Anode to Help Improve Lithium Batteries A benchtop version of the world’s smallest battery — its anode a single nanowire one seven-thousandth the thickness of a human hair — has been created by a team led by Sandia National Laboratories researcher Jianyu Huang. To better study the anode’s characteristics, the tiny

A new generation of animal-like robots is about to emerge from the laboratory UNTIL recently, most robots could be thought of as belonging to one of two phyla. The Widgetophora, equipped with claws, grabs and wheels, stuck to the essentials and did not try too hard to look like anything other than machines (think R2-D2).

The technology has proved to be critical in delivery of rain in advance of the normal start of the rainy season   A new technology that has the potential to break the persistent severe drought in the Horn of Africa could be the panacea to ending persistent drought and famine in Kenya’s North Eastern province
