The iBrain is part of a new generation of portable neural devices Already surrounded by machines that allow him, painstakingly, to communicate, the physicist Stephen Hawking last summer donned what looked like a rakish black headband that held a feather-light device the size of a small matchbox. Called the iBrain, this simple-looking contraption is part

From eco-dancefloors to ocean waves: Wherever there is movement, there is energy. From energy-generating nightclubs to a T-shirt that charges your phone, there are many intriguing concepts for harnessing everyday movement, and even sound, to generate electricity. Until now, most of those concepts have used piezoelectric technology, meaning that as mechanical stress is placed on certain materials, they

Rewarded with a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2016, nanomachines provide mechanical work on the smallest of scales. Yet at such small dimensions, molecular motors can complete this work in only one direction. Researchers from the CNRS’s Institut Charles Sadron, led by Nicolas Giuseppone, a professor at the Université de Strasbourg, working in collaboration with

Fat cells allow melanoma cells to penetrate the dermis, from which they spread, causing fatal metastases in vital organs, TAU researchers say Researchers at Tel Aviv University, led by Prof. Carmit Levy and Dr. Tamar Golan of the Department of Human Genetics and Biochemistry at TAU’s Sackler School of Medicine, have discovered that fat cells are involved in the transformation that melanoma

University of Leicester researcher in potential medical breakthrough “This new drug could be a game changer for future treatment of asthma” – Professor Chris Brightling, NIHR Senior Research Fellow at the University of Leicester The first new asthma pill for nearly 20 years has the power to significantly reduce the severity of the condition, a

Tel Aviv University researchers devise new approach to streamlining design of nanoscale building blocks with endless applications Breakthroughs in the field of nanophotonics — how light behaves on the nanometer scale — have paved the way for the invention of “metamaterials,” man-made materials that have enormous applications, from remote nanoscale sensing to energy harvesting and

The difference with Web 2.0 is these sites and apps are incredibly cheap and quick to build and host.

“You need inventors who are dreaming and tinkering to make new things happen.” Abe Karem created the robotic plane that transformed the way modern warfare is waged—and continues to pioneer other airborne innovations “I WAS not the guy who put missiles on the Predator,” says Abe Karem, the aerospace engineer behind America’s most successful and
