Most of us have wished for a painless way to receive shots when we were younger (and some still do). Fortunately for new generations, Pantec Biosolutions AG, a privately-owned company, developed innovative technology for transdermal drug delivery. A few days ago they received a CE mark in the EU for the new professional product line… »
Although the potential benefits of the technology could have have been over-stated, and it could introduce the dangers posed by synthetic organisms, it is a scientific landmark that deserved to become an article in our archive. Scientists in the US have succeeded in developing the first living cell to be controlled entirely by synthetic DNA…. »
Cambridge scientists have discovered a way of mimicking the vivid and beautiful colors found on the wings of tropical butterflies in order to lessen the frauds in the future and enhance the security in the printing industry. The findings could find important applications in the security printing industry, helping to make bank notes and credit… »
The new Watsonville Area Water Operations Center supports the larger Water Recycling Project, a joint effort of the City of Watsonville and the Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency to provide recycled water to farmers throughout the coastal areas of South Santa Cruz and North Monterey counties. Aside lessening the groundwater consumption, the Water Operations Center… »
The folks from Sony announced that they have developed a super-flexible OTFT-driven full color OLED display which can be wrapped around a thin cylinder. An OTFT (Organic Thin-Film Transistor) is a thin-film transistor with organic (carbon-based compound) semiconductor. It has high mechanical flexibility and therefore it is expected to realize thin, light-weight, mechanical-shock resistant and… »
Researchers at Oregon State University have made an advance in robotics by improving the robots movement. The robots can walk and run effectively, while they use little energy in the process as well. By achieving an optimal approach with robotic mechanisms, studies are moving closer to creating better robots and prosthetic limbs for humans that… »
Mobilizy, makers of the Wikitude Augmented Reality (AR) apps for iPhone, Android, and Nokia phones, came up with Wikitude Drive – a mobile AR satellite navigation system with global coverage which could take the current driving experience with GPS a step further, because you may no longer have to follow audio directions and look at… »
Before Star Trek fans go berserk, we have to state it’s not the same teleportation as in the sci-fi series. Scientists in China have succeeded in teleporting information between photons further than ever before. They transported quantum information over a free space distance of 16 km (10 miles), much further than the few hundred meters… »
