LONDON (TIP): Nasa’s experimental flying saucer, which was being used to test technologies for future Mars landings, hurtled down and crashed into the Pacific Ocean off Kauai, Hawaii, after its parachute failed to deploy. Nasa […]
MUMBAI (TIP): In the first-ever mission of its kind which will make 24 measurements each second, Nasa on July 1 launched a flight dedicated to studying atmospheric carbon dioxide, the leading human-produced gas driving changes […]
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 […]
WASHINGTON (TIP): Astronomers have discovered an Earth-sized ‘diamond’ about 900 light-years away in space, which is possibly the coldest, faintest white dwarf star ever detected. This ancient stellar remnant is so cool that its carbon […]
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 […]
The ISS will soon get an espresso machine, allowing astronauts to enjoy hot, freshly brewed coffee in space. A pair of Italian companies in cooperation with the Italian Space Agency have announced plans to send […]
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 […]
LONDON (TIP): A new biometric wristwatch is being developed that can monitor your blood glucose, dehydration and pulse rate. In a pair of papers published in The Optical Society, researchers from the Netherlands and Israel […]
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 […]
WASHINGTON (TIP): US space agency Nasa has been warned that its mission to send humans to Mars will fail unless its revamps its methods and draws up a clear, wellplanned strategy to conquer the red […]
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 […]
NEW DELHI (TIP): The volume of email cloaked in encryption technology is rapidly rising as Google, Yahoo, Facebook and other major Internet companies try to shield their users’ online communications from government spies and other […]
NEW DELHI (TIP): Using Nasa’s Spitzer space telescope, astronomers have found a bizarre super-dense dust cloud some 16,000 light years away. It is huge: about 50 light years in diameter. And in that space is […]
WASHINGTON (TIP): In a ray of hope for millions of people suffering from type 2 diabetes worldwide, researchers have discovered a molecule that inhibits the breakdown of insulin in mice. The compound blocked a protein […]
LONDON (TIP): Scientists have for the first time discovered a revolutionary technique to turn light into matter, a feat thought impossible when the idea was first theorized 80 years ago. Three physicists at the Imperial […]
LONDON (TIP): In what could be the first major leap towards developing the world’s first X Ray scan to identify paedophiles, scientists have now confirmed that the brains of child abusers are abnormally tuned to […]
