Advances in supercapacitor technology could lead to wider use of fast-charging energy storage devices and novel designs for electronic gadgets Scientists at UC Santa Cruz and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have reported unprecedented performance results for a supercapacitor electrode. The researchers fabricated electrodes using a printable graphene aerogel to build a porous three-dimensional scaffold

Toshiba has unveiled its first glasses-free 3D laptop – the Toshiba Qosmio F750-10Q. Powered by Intel Core i7 CPU, the laptop features a lenticular glasses-free 3D display, a full HD 15.6-inch screen and eye-tracking technology based on a HD web camera that maintains the 3D effect while the user moves. Both 2D and 3D content

Increases the success rate of first needle insertion from about 37% up to 99%   A unique patented technology developed by a emergency-room doctor is about to change the way many medical procedures involving needles are preformed and increase the success rate of first needle insertion from about 37% up to 99% according to live

Nanyang Technological University (NTU) has successfully printed complex electronic circuits using a common t-shirt printer. The electronic circuits are printed using unique materials in layers on top of everyday flexible materials such as plastic, aluminium foil and even paper. Resistors, transistors and capacitors, the key components of a complex electronic circuit, are printed using non-toxic

You probably haven’t used a bitcoin. But from China to Tanzania, the underground currency is everywhere. Bitcoin, the global digital cryptocurrency that isn’t tied to any central banking authority, has spread like wildfire around the world. Because it allows for anonymity, much of its rise has been linked to illegal activities, such as on the

Tunable radiation source that reaches coveted THz region of spectrum could be used for medical imaging or security applications Terahertz radiation, the no-man’s land of the electromagnetic spectrum, has long stymied researchers. Optical technologies can finagle light in the shorter-wavelength visible and infrared range, while electromagnetic techniques can manipulate longer-wavelength radiation like microwaves and radio

This technology could be the start of a whole new generation of interfaces which make interacting with a computer much more like talking to another human being. Roberto Cipolla Meet Zoe: a digital talking head which can express human emotions on demand with “unprecedented realism” and could herald a new era of human-computer interaction. A

The system consists of tanks of fibre membranes that catch and hold contaminants—dirt, organic particles, bacteria and viruses—while letting water filter through. A community of beneficial bacteria, or biofilm, functions as the second line of defence, working in concert to break down pollutants. “Membrane treatment can remove over 99.99 per cent of contaminants, making it

Technology developed at UC Riverside has wide applications, from designing better cars and smartphones to high-tech baseball gloves Imagine an automobile crash test that uses test dummies painted all over with a substance that can change color according to the levels of stress that various parts of the dummies’ bodies will endure.  Such a “color
