Screvane, the acting mayor and president of the City Council, predicted that the pavilion and its “wonders of science” would remain an inspiration long after

Uses up to 30 percent less fuel and emits 25 percent less carbon dioxide   Over the past 20 years, the global energy crisis and environmental problems have prompted the auto industry to develop cleaner, more ecologically friendly and energy-saving products. As a result good progress has been made in technical innovations of the diesel

Researchers from the University of Minnesota’s Lillehei Heart Institute have effectively treated muscular dystrophy in mice using human stem cells derived from a new process that — for the first time — makes the production of human muscle cells from stem cells efficient and effective. The research, published May 4 in Cell Stem Cell, outlines

The big idea is to create objects that can change after they are printed, making them self-adapting. There are 3D printers that build things up, adding one sliver of plastic at a time, and 3D mills that tear things down, grinding away one small chunk at a time. But Skylar Tibbits offer a very provocative

Anti-submarine warfare (ASW) efforts face a militarily resurgent Russia, a strengthening China, and proliferating quiet diesel-electric submarines that could shift the global naval balance of power. During the last five days of October 1962, U.S. Navy warships, guided by surface, sub-surface, and airborne anti-submarine warfare (ASW) sensor data, launched numerous practice depth charges at Soviet

This project is intended to bring good drinking water to the families in the developing countries at no operating cost Designer Gabriele Diamanti has created a solar oven called the Eliodomestico that can make salt water drinkable. Furthermore, the invention can be made out of cheap and readily available materials enabling local craftsmen in the

The first floating offshore wind turbine is undergoing tests more than 200 miles off the coast of Portugal   In the race for bigger offshore wind turbines, what’s under the water can be just as much trouble as what’s above. Turbine makers are building giant machines that must withstand powerful storms in the inhospitable waters

Researchers developed a versatile remote gaming interface that allowed external experts as well as hundreds of citizen scientists all over the world through multiplayer collaboration and in real time to optimize a quantum gas experiment in a lab at Aarhus University. Surprisingly, both teams quickly used the interface to dramatically improve upon the previous best
