Bubbles are an optimal way to carry heat. A new surface makes them jump to carry even more, researchers report.

The manufacturing of water is a concept that will help the development of places with water shortages. Learn about the concept of water manufacturing.

UPDATED:06:24 EST, 3 September 2012   Stroke patients who have lose the use of  their arms could find a helping hand in the form of a robotic arm that can  ‘telepathically’ respond to your thoughts. The research, led by Rice University and the  University of Houston, has led to an exo-skeleton which covers the arm from  fingertips to elbow and can help perform simple tasks, as well gently assisting – and sometimes resisting – movement to build strength and  accuracy. The new neurotechnology will interpret brain  waves using an EEG neural interface, which can read thought patter...

Credit: Virginia Tech If you have ever gotten up on a winter morning and thrown yourself into the arduous task of scraping frost from a windshield, a Virginia Tech lab is engaging science [IS1] that could make your life much easier. In research funded by the National Science Foundation, Associate Professor Jonathan Borekyo has led a team in developing a potential solution for frost removal by way of electrostatics. As water freezes, positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons separate. Frozen ice crystals become electrified as the top of the frost becomes warmer than the botto...
