By James Burgess | Thu, 17 May 2012 22:18 | 0 Solar power in space is an exciting idea, but not a new one; in fact we have covered it on previous articles here at Oilprice.com. Here we will look at the efforts of a team of engineers from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. [...]
The BrainGate2 Neural Interface System detects brain signals that can be translated by a computer into machine instructions, enabling thought control of robotic devices. (Credit: BrainGate Collaboration) By implanting a 96-electrode sensor the size of a baby aspirin onto the surface of their brains, researchers have enabled two quadriplegic participants to use their thoughts alone [...]
A controversial geoengineering experiment to simulate the cooling effect of volcanoes has been cancelled due to concern over a perceived conflict of interest with some of the researchers. The experiment would have injected 150 litres of water into the atmosphere from a weather balloon via a 1km pipe tethered to a ship as part of [...]
Last updated at 14:33 GMT The virus-based electrode produced a small current – enough to flash “1″ on a liquid-crystal display Scientists in the US have developed a way to generate electricity using viruses. The researchers built a generator with a postage stamp-sized electrode and based on a small film of specially engineered viruses. When [...]
