Cleverly, the translucence of the glass can be altered where desired so that certain parts of the building’s facade can behave more like conventional windows When I first glimpsed the photos of MVRDV‘s Glass Farm, I misapprehended it. I assumed I was looking at an ordinary brick building which, in an act of willful capriciousness

DGIST’s research Team has clarified the fundamentals of coiled toxin protein which causes neurodegenerative brain disorders A research team led by Professor Sung Bae Lee of Brain and Cognitive Sciences and Professor Daehee Hwang of New Biology (Vice-head of the Plant Age and Life Research Group, IBS) has identified the early neuropathology mechanism of structural

Computers have transformed architecture in remarkable ways. They’ve made it possible to visualize designs in fully-rendered 3D graphics and to automatically check designs against building codes and other standard specifications. And they’ve made designs possible that were unthinkable or unimaginable 50 years ago, as they can crunch the numbers on complex equations and even generate

Two researchers at the University of Rochester have discovered the chemical that makes naked mole rats cancer-proof. Their research paper is being published today in the journal Nature. The findings could eventually lead to new cancer treatments in people, said study authors Andrei Seluanov and Vera Gorbunova. Naked mole rats are small, hairless, subterranean rodents that

Multi-touch hardware and software company Ideum is exploring a potential future for the workplace in which traditional desks give way to projected capacitive touch (PCT) tables that you use with both hand gestures and tangible objects. The project is called the Dynamic Desktop, and it’s an idea that creative director and CEO Jim Spadaccini believes

Gladstone scientists reprogram skin cells into insulin-producing pancreas cells A cure for type 1 diabetes has long eluded even the top experts. Not because they do not know what must be done—but because the tools did not exist to do it. But now scientists in the laboratory of Gladstone Institutes’ Investigator Sheng Ding, MD, PhD,

Gone are the days where most houses have large back yards and the family dog can run freely. As outdoor spaces are getting smaller and people are working longer hours, often household dogs struggle to get the exercise they need. I must admit I’m a little uncomfortable with the idea of a super-sized mouse wheel,

UBC researchers came up with so-called “remote magnetic gears,” Researchers at the University of British Columbia say they’ve found a way around the nuisance and potential danger of repeatedly having to plug in an electric car to get it moving again. Prof. Lorne Whitehead, with the university’s physics department, says his team has developed a

Removing one of the tiniest organs in the body has shown to provide effective treatment for high blood pressure. The discovery, made by University of Bristol researchers and published in Nature Communications, could revolutionise treatment of the world’s biggest silent killer. The carotid body — a small nodule (no larger than a rice grain) found on

Transforming Video Content Into Another Video’s Style, Automatically Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have devised a way to automatically transform the content of one video into the style of another, making it possible to transfer the facial expressions of comedian John Oliver to those of a cartoon character, or to make a daffodil bloom in
