Ever wondered how your body might react to a medicine before you take it? That's where personalized medicine comes in. By combining pharmacogenomics (studying how your genes affect your response to drugs) with nanotechnology, scientists are creating something called nano-enabled pharmacogenomics. Th
On August 29, 2024, Northrop Grumman's Scaled Composites revealed its new Model 437 drone. This isn't your average drone—it has a cockpit and a pilot. The success of this project has raised questions about the future of manned fighter jets like the F-35. The U. S. Air Force is increasingly intereste
Ever wondered what it would be like to taste your favorite food in a virtual world? Scientists have been working on just that, creating tiny, portable devices that let you experience different tastes in virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). These devices, shaped like
Imagine you're a small bulbul or a larger hornbill, both birds living in a subtropical African savanna. You love to rest in trees, especially when it's hot. Scientists have recently used special tools called LiDAR and complex models to figure out how many trees provide a cool place to rest. They fou
Samsung is planning to introduce 45W wired charging to its A-series, specifically the A56 model. But is this enough to make the A56 a real competitor to Samsung's flagship phones? Let's break it down. First off, 45W charging isn't exactly groundbreaking. It's been around for a while, and many compe
Imagine a tiny molecular boat and paddle system designed to fix itself in just two minutes. This is the story of a unique glue, or binder, created to help silicon batteries last longer. Silicon batteries have a big problem: they can swell up and break during use. Scientists are working on self-heali
Nikola Tesla is often hailed as a forgotten genius whose inventions shaped our modern world. But how much of that is true, and how much is just hype? Let’s take a closer look at some popular claims about Tesla’s inventions and see if they stand up to scrutiny. Tesla was indeed a brilliant inventor.
===== Ever wondered how the shape and layout of tiny transistors can affect their speed? Well, let's dive into how different designs like nanosheets, nanowires, FinFETs, and TreeFETs perform in the world of radio frequency (RF) signals. Designers have been trying out some clever tricks to boost th
Admiral Samuel Paparo, who heads the U. S. Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM), recently warned about the potential for Russia to boost China's submarine technology, thereby challenging U. S. naval dominance in the region. During a security forum, Paparo expressed concerns about Russia sharing its adva
Ever wondered how to tell the United States' F-35 Lightning II apart from China's J-35 stealth fighter? Sure, they're both sleek and stealthy, but there are subtle differences that can help you distinguish them. First, look at their shapes. The F-35 has a distinctive, faceted design with sharp angl
