A team of researchers led by an Indian-origin engineer has created an e-skin that can feel pain and other sensations. The new development could help create a new generation of smart robots with human-like sensitivity.Read More
New method of modelling urban building energy takes into consideration heat waves in urban cities and how human-caused parameters aggravate it. It studies the heating pattern of urban cities during city-wide heat waves. The research is based on a case study conducted in Los Angeles, California, during a five-day heatwave event in September 2009.Read More
MakeMyTrip on Thursday announced its collaboration with Climes, a climate-tech startup backed by Sequoia. The companies will together introduce carbon neutralisation options for online flight booking.Read More
Sony has announced the formation of a new company, Sony Space Communications, which will build and supply devices that allow small satellites in orbit to communicate with one another via laser beams. The devices will work between satellites in space and satellites communicating with ground stations.Read More
A team of physicists, working together under Lancaster University’s Samuli Autti, have successfully coupled two time crystals to create a ‘two-state system’, also known as ‘two-level system’. This can pave a new way for quantum computers that can use time crystals as qubits.Read More
The spectacular celestial show will be visible towards the eastern horizon just before the Sun rises and obscures the view. Those living in the Northern Hemisphere will have to look towards the east and the south. Those in the Southern Hemisphere should look towards the east and the north for the delightful view.Read More
Scientists have developed a compound that can kill some hard-to-treat cancer types. After the compound was identified, scientists scanned through a screen of chemical analogs of ERX-11 and observed that another compound named ERX-41 was effective in killing ER-positive cancers in petri dishes. It was also found that the compound managed to eliminate triple-negative br…Read…
A team of scientists from the Boston College have shed light on the differences in the behaviour of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and its link with neuroanatomy, using artificial intelligence. Studies have earlier suggested that there might be no single set of neuroanatomical correlation that is common in all autistic people.Read More
China has announced a three-member astronaut crew that will travel by the Shenzhou-14 spacecraft. Astronauts Chen Dong, Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe will take on a six-month mission to complete the construction of the country’s space station currently orbiting the Earth.Read More
Team of international researchers from the US and the UK have are working actively to develop portable, rapid biosensors capable of detecting noroviruses and mycotoxins in foods and agricultural products. Noroviruses are the leading cause of foodborne illness globally and are highly contagious, while mycotoxins are produced by fungi that can grow in warm and…
