Honda, the Japanese company which makes cars, ATVs, and robots, has unveiled a new unicycle design. This unicycle uses the same technology as their robot ASIMO. Unlike unicycles we are familiar with, this one has balance control to deter riders from falling off. The wheel is composed of smaller wheels, so it can be steered [...]

Years ago, Physicist Erwin Schrodinger developed the Uncertainty Principle trying to have a cat be in states at the same time: dead and alive. This problem has been unsolvable for nearly one hundred years. Basic Physics shows that matter can only be in one state at a time. Over the past years, superposition has been developing [...]

The increase in the need of flexibility of transistors is becoming more and more. Silicon is brittle and it is a little toxic. Scientists have found that it is possible to use a cellulose paper transistor. A challenging part in doing this is putting wires and electrodes on the paper. The scientists now need to find [...]

“Researchers  at Cornell have calculated the exact mechanism by which diamond conducts heat, a breakthrough that could lend insight into many fields, including electronics.” This development could help heat management in electronics and, maybe even, heat flow in the earth. Read more here. Diamonds are electrical insulators and it has a hgih thermal conductivity. They [...]

A team of physicists at Ohio University have developed a device that doctorts can use to control cells via joystick. Using magnetic fields, they can control magntically tagged cells without harming the patient at all. To get the cells to move they placed two magnetic fields, like north and south poles, on both sides and [...]
