Washington, July 11: Once reluctant to share their work with the media, scientists are now enjoying all the attention they''re getting, seeing it as a reward for their labour.
Washington, July 11 : A team of physicists has developed a nano-sized electronic device, which would help astronomers to see invisible light dating from the creation of the universe.
Washington, July 11 : Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA in Stuttgart are working on a new generation of household robots that may one day relieve people of heavy, dirty, and often irksome tasks.
They have even created a one-armed model of such robots, named ‘Care-O-bot-3’.
With its three fingers, the robot can carefully pick up the bottle of apple juice, and put it next to the glasses on the tray in front of it.
The only 1.45 meters high Care-O-bot-3 can even serve drinks to guests.
Washington, July 11 : Experts at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have achieved a major breakthrough in developing an affordable method to turn ordinary glass into a high-tech solar concentrator.
The researchers believe that their technology, which uses dye-coated glass to collect and channel photons otherwise lost from a solar panel''s surface, may one day enable an office building to draw energy from its tinted windows as well as its roof.
"We think this is a practical technology for reducing the cost of solar power," electrical engineer Marc Baldo says in a research article in the journal Science.
The report reveals that the researchers coated glass panels with layers of two or more light-capturing dyes.
