Bullets manufactured to have RFID tags for purposes of tracking and detection

TRGR concept is the application of RFID tags to bullet casings during manufacturing. This concept requires legislative support from government and infrastructure upgrades to public and private facilities. T.R.G.R stands for Trip Relay Guard Response.

New metamaterial gives light a one-way ticket

The light-warping structures known as metamaterials have a new trick in their ever-expanding repertoire. Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have built a silver, glass and chromium nanostructure that can all but stop visible light cold in one direction while giving it a pass in the other. The device could someday... Continue Reading →

Solar panels light the way from carbon dioxide to fuel

search to curb global warming caused by rising levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, usually involves three areas: Developing alternative energy sources, capturing and storing greenhouse gases, and repurposing excess greenhouse gases. Drawing on two of these approaches, researchers in the laboratory of Andrew Bocarsly, a Princeton professor of chemistry, collaborated with... Continue Reading →

These circuits can operate at frequencies up to 245 terahertz — tens of thousands times faster than today’s state-of-the-art microprocessors — with quantum plasmonic tunneling, designed and fabricated by researchers at National University of Singapore and Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR). The new circuits can potentially be used to construct ultra-fast computers or... Continue Reading →

A new invention that is already being tested in some desert areas is able to extract clean drinking water from the air using a wind turbine. A company called Eole Water has implemented this wonderful invention in areas of the Abu Dhabi desert. Tests on a ground-mounted prototype of the water making system has shown... Continue Reading →
