https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfTuWAmEOdM A revolutionary procedure involving a patient’s own stem cells has allowed British researchers to grow artificial body parts in their lab, including noses, ears, tear ducts, and blood vessels, which they can then reattach to the patient’s body. Researchers at the University College London have developed a technique they say is similar to baking... Continue Reading →
Glow in the dark road unveiled in the Netherlands
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBTx87xiscs The first glow-in-the-dark highway was unveiled today in Holland. The 1600-feet stretch of road has been coated with a “photo-luminising” powder that uses sunlight to power-up during daytime and then releases a greenish glow at nighttime. One day’s sunlight can supply up to eight hours of glow. This kind of glow-in-the-dark highway is being... Continue Reading →
A first: Stanford engineers build basic computer using carbon nanotubes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9j36d25VMo A team of Stanford engineers has built a basic computer using carbon nanotubes, a semiconductor material that has the potential to launch a new generation of electronic devices that run faster, while using less energy, than those made from silicon chips. This unprecedented feat culminates years of efforts by scientists around the world to... Continue Reading →
The LHC Has Found a New Particle Unlike Any Other Form of Matter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3azYAQ_oWSc Not content with perhaps the biggest scientific discovery of the decade, scientists at the Large Hadron Collide continue to search for new particles—and now they've found one that seems to be an entirely new form of matter. A series of experiments at the LHC have confirmed that a new particle called Z(4430)—catchy!— actually exists,... Continue Reading →
A New Era In Science: “Synthia” The First Synthetic Life Is Created
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHIocNOHd7A In a paper published today in the journal Science, the J. Craig Venter Institute and Synthetic Genomics Inc announced the laboratory creation of the world’s first self-reproducing organism whose entire genome was built from scratch by a machine. The construction of this synthetic organism, anticipated and dubbed “Synthia” by the ETC Group three years... Continue Reading →
Self-Destructing Electronics Are Here and They Are Awesome
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PweTt008wDA A renegade professor and his team at Iowa State just unveiled a mind-bending new technology. Put bluntly, they've created self-destructing electronics: gadgets that disappear with the flip of a switch. And, yes, it's just like Mission Impossible. It seems like we've been hearing about self-destructing electronics for ages now, and not just in cheesy... Continue Reading →
The U.S. Navy just announced the end of big oil and no one noticed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iavz7AnKI8I Scientists with the United States Navy say they have successfully developed a way to convert seawater into jet fuel, calling it a potentially revolutionary advancement. Researchers at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) developed technology to extract carbon dioxide from seawater while simultaneously producing hydrogen, and then converted the gasses into hydrocarbon liquid fuel. The... Continue Reading →
Twelve Technologies Taking Us Toward A World Without Money
http://youtu.be/sfEbMV295Kk As more and more jobs are shed on a daily basis, it’s no wonder why an increasing amount of people are leaning toward the prospect of a moneyless society and resource based economy. Usually, as a general rule, we, as a society, are only presented with a problem when (and only when) the solution... Continue Reading →
Scientists clone human embryonic stem cells from adults
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPz8LEQqARo Scientists from the US and South Korea have used cloning techniques to create embryonic stem cells from two adults in an experiment that could rekindle enthusiasm for “therapeutic cloning” for use in regenerative medicine. The work, by researchers from CHA University in Seoul and Los Angeles, working with Advanced Cell Technology, a US biotechnology... Continue Reading →
Kepler Team Announces Discovery of Earth-Sized Planet in Habitable Zone
http://youtu.be/J2ohX-hOGpQ Since its launch in the spring of 2009, NASA's Kepler Space Telescope has been hunting exoplanets. The holy grail being a planet that is essentially like ours in terms of size, composition, and habitability: an Earth-twin. While we still haven't found a planet that exactly fits that bill, Kepler has now confirmed the discovery... Continue Reading →
