Aerofex has currently limited human flight testing to a height of 15 feet and speeds of about 30 mph A resurrected hover vehicle won’t fly through dense forests as effortlessly as the “Star Wars” speeder bikes from “Return of the Jedi,” but its intuitive controls could someday allow anyone to fly it without pilot training.

High-risk people don’t respond the same as others to PSAs What if you could look into the brains of potential drug abusers and see what messages would be most likely to persuade them to “just say no?” That’s the ultimate goal of researchers whose new study scanned the brains of people while they watched anti-drug

Image via Wikipedia A way to fly a balloon in and out of the stratosphere ACCORDING to the old adage, what goes up must come down. But in the case of balloons, the descent sometimes comes sooner than expected. Although helium-filled weather balloons regularly launch instruments high into the stratosphere, at altitudes of 20km (65,000

When a stream of charged particles known as the solar wind careens onto the Moon’s surface at 450 kilometers per second (or nearly 1 million miles per hour), they enrich the Moon’s surface in ingredients that could make water, NASA scientists have found. Using a computer program, scientists simulated the chemistry that unfolds when the

Researchers at Columbia University Medical Center have discovered the biological mechanism behind age-related loss of muscle strength and identified a drug that may help reverse this process. Their findings were published in the August 2 online edition of Cell Metabolism. As we grow older, our skeletal muscles tend to wither and weaken, a phenomenon known

Sweden is on its way to becoming the world’s first cashless society, thanks to the country’s embrace of IT, as well as a crackdown on organized crime and terror, according to a study from Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Niklas Arvidsson, an industrial technology and management researcher at KTH, says that the widespread and

Israeli researcher claims his calculations show scientists have grossly underestimated the effects of air pollution. The world’s scientific community has known for a long time that global warming is caused by manmade emissions in the form of greenhouse gases, while global cooling is caused by air pollution in the form of aerosols. In a new study

Since the antibody only targets the cancer cells, surrounding healthy cells are not affected unlike other cancer treatments such as chemotherapy & radiotherapy

Research demonstrates value of Amazon Echo and Google Home during medical procedures Smart speakers that are customarily used in your living room can be programmed to act as an aid to physicians in hospital operating rooms, according to new research presented today at the Society of Interventional Radiology’s 2019 Annual Scientific Meeting. Smart speakers, such
