NEW DELHI (TIP): Voyager 1, the spacecraft that is now over 19 billion kilometers from the Earth, has reported a sudden burst of tinkling bells from around it. Travelling in a region where no manmade […]
WASHINGTON (TIP): In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have identified the fossilised remains of an extinct giant bird that could be the world’s biggest such. Named “Pelagornis sandersi,” the bird lived 25 to 28 million years […]
WASHINGTON (TIP): Researchers have developed new molten air rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles which have a significantly higher storage capacity than lithium batteries. While electric vehicles offer many advantages, at least one barrier stands in […]
NEW YORK (TIP): Imagine walking robots powered by muscle cells and controlled with electrical pulses that can give them an unprecedented command over their function. Engineers at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have demonstrated a […]
LONDON (TIP): British researchers have developed a James Bond-style camera that can peer around corners to see people or objects. The technology could someday allow troops to obtain information without breaking cover or be fitted […]
The search for an affordable drug to treat hypertension without side effects has led scientists to the Indian kitchen. Some spices and condiments commonly used in Indian soups, curries and rasam, when taken in a […]
Over the last few years, drones have been finding jobs in industry. They are used for gathering news, checking crops on farms, as well as photographing houses for real estate agents, and — at least […]
MELBOURNE (TIP): Australian researchers have used photons — single particles of light — to simulate quantum particles travelling through time. University of Queensland researchers used photons to simulate quantum particles travelling through time and study […]
WASHINGTON (TIP): Harvard engineering professor David Edwards has invented a new device along with his former student, Rachel Field, that can send ‘aromas’ through mobile messages. Paris-based Vapor Communications, the startup behind the scent-based messaging […]
Scientists have created a new biofuel to get the cars running using ground coffee. The study by University of Bath found that different varieties of coffee, including Robusta and Arabica, have reasonably standard composition and […]
NEW YORK (TIP): The dominance of silicon in electronics may soon be over as researchers have now developed a flexible, energy-efficient hybrid circuit combining carbon nanotube thin film transistors with other thin film transistors. Since […]
LONDON (TIP): Your eyes could soon become a high-tech information centre that tracks changes and tells you when it’s time to see an eye doctor. Scientists from the University of Washington have designed a lowpower […]
LONDON (TIP): British scientists have discovered a technique which can make a decayed tooth repair itself. The technique, developed at King’s College, London, effectively reverses decay by using electrical currents to boost the tooth’s natural […]
LONDON (TIP): Debunking earlier age estimates for both the earth and moon, geochemists have discovered that the final stage of the formation of the two is around 60 million years older than was previously thought. […]
LONDON (TIP): Radiation emitting from mobile phones kept in trouser pockets has now been confirmed to be causing male infertility. British scientists announced on Tuesday that men who keep a mobile phone in their trouser […]
LONDON (TIP): A single injection may soon permanently lower cholesterol levels in humans reducing their risk of heart attack by 90%. Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) scientists collaborating with researchers at the University of Pennsylvania […]
WASHINGTON (TIP): An innovative and inexpensive way to fight air pollution has been developed — a roof tile coating that removes up to 97% of smog-causing nitrogen oxides. A team of University of California, Riverside’s […]
NEW DELHI (TIP): For the past 30 years, it was believed that there is a threshold of temperature (29 degrees C) beyond which any increase in sea surface temperatures (SSTs) does not significantly affect the […]
