3D printers using the established “kiosk” model that’s been so successful for digital photo printing   3D printing is starting to surf a wave that could take it from a specialist manufacturing process to household product. The price of machines is coming down and the array of objects that can be created is going up,

Technology could lead to new way of doing ‘lab on a chip’ medical diagnostics Northwestern University scientists have developed the first liquid nanoscale laser. And it’s tunable in real time, meaning you can quickly and simply produce different colors, a unique and useful feature. The laser technology could lead to practical applications, such as a

Robert Pflum hopes, at this time next year, the sounds of remote-controlled snow plows will be filling the air. If they are, it will mean that his invention will have been successful. Like so many other inventions, Pflum’s PlowBot started as nothing more than a hobby. “Before I started my master’s, I had more time

BlackLight Power announces validation of its scientific breakthrough in energy production PRESS RELEASE: Wouldn’t it be nice . . . Leading academic and industry experts have validated BlackLight’s new process that directly produces electric energy from the conversion of water vapor to a new, more stable form of Hydrogen. Experts agree that BlackLight’s “Hydrino theory”

In Lab Tests, Researchers Halt Arrhythmias With Gentle Beams—Not Harsh Electric Shocks Using high-tech human heart models and mouse experiments, scientists at Johns Hopkins and Germany’s University of Bonn have shown that beams of light could replace electric shocks in patients reeling from a deadly heart rhythm disorder. The findings, published online Sept. 12 in

This summer, a severe drought and genetically modified crops are delivering a one-two punch to US crops. Across the farm country, years of reliance on Monsanto‘s Roundup Ready corn and soy seeds—engineered for resistance to Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide—have given rise to a veritable plague of Roundup-resistant weeds. Meanwhile, Monsanto’s other blockbuster genetically modified trait—the toxic gene of the pesticidal bacteria

Early detection of lung cancer is vital for increasing a patient’s survival rate and to prescribe the best form of treatment. Now New York researchers have developed an early detection method involving a simple cheek swab. Called partial wave spectroscopic (PWS) microscopy, this new technique involves shining diffuse light on cells from the swab. The
