  Serious side effects are the main reason why existing drugs must be removed from the market Side effects are a major reason that drugs are taken off the market and a major reason why patients stop taking their medications, but scientists are now reporting the development of a new way to predict those adverse

Existing fuel distribution infrastructure could be used A collaborative project involving ECOmove, Insero E-Mobility and Serenergy is aiming to produce a fuel cell range extender for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) that should boost the distance between charges to at least 497 miles (800 km). The first vehicle to receive the new bio-methanol-based Modular Energy Carrier

Harvard researchers develop simple detector that could be used worldwide Harvard researchers have created an inexpensive detector that can be used by health care workers in the world’s poorest areas to monitor diabetes, detect malaria, discover environmental pollutants, and perform tests that now are done by machines costing tens of thousands of dollars. The device,

Could make their manufacture thousands of times quicker, allowing for cheaper semiconductors A completely new method of manufacturing the smallest structures in electronics could make their manufacture thousands of times quicker, allowing for cheaper semiconductors. The findings have been published in the latest issue of Nature. Instead of starting from a silicon wafer or other

The only product of combustion is water; in fact, ultra-pure, newly-minted “virgin” water!   As I mentioned in a comment in the Beyond Coal Team blog, converting coal-fired steam generation infrastructure to natural gas is more or less a misnomer.  Virtually none of the steam-generation power plant can be used for natural gas-fired power generation,

Surveillance security systems and smart DVRs have come a long way in the past decade with the invention of features such as motion detection, scheduled recording, and live video streaming over the web. The lastest development, however, not only surpasses these features in usefulness, but downright puts their technological breakthroughs to shame. This new concept is similar

The “uncanny valley” is one of the frustrating paradoxes of robotics. Every year, roboticists make humanoid robots that more accurately imitate human beings, but it turns out that the better the imitation, the creepier the end result. It’s that strange, hair-raising sensation one gets when visiting the Hall of Presidents at Disneyland. True, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln look very

These mobile tools help you become a citizen scientist, whether you’re documenting wildlife or measuring the effects of light pollution Mobile applications for smartphones, tablets and other gadgets can turn just about anyone into a citizen scientist. App-equipped wireless devices give users worldwide the ability to act as remote sensors for all sorts of data

A particularly ingenious remedy for the problem of rust may be available soon. Containers made of a conductive polymer only open in the presence of corrosion and release anticorrosive payloads. Scientists from the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung GmbH in Düsseldorf and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz have succeeded in making two enormous
