New Quantum Object Can be Seen with Naked Eye

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 21:51:20 PST

Scientists have created the largest "quantum state" object so far. The object is a quantum computer that breaks the conventional law of larger physics that one thing cannot occupy two different spaces at the same time. The machine is being hailed as the first principle component for what could become the first feasible quantum computer. While not a feasible computer in itself, the "quantum resonator," could replace ones and zeros with far faster computing capabilities that could result in a new generation of incredibly small, energy efficient computers with far more processing power than anything we currently have.

Invisibility Cloaks May be Fashion of the Future

Thu, 18 Mar 2010 22:46:16 PST

"Deployable" invisibility screens have been around for some time, able to make an object invisible from one direction, but these objects have extremely limited applications, considering they only work in theory in extremely controlled environments. It seemed for a while the world of ground stealth technology would have to remain in the realm of science fiction and fantasy, but now scientists have developed a system which can conceal an object from any direction in 3D. The world may soon have a true invisibility cloak.

Regeneration Could Soon be a Reality

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 18:10:04 PST

Scientists have discovered that there is a gene within us all that prevents fast healing and limb regeneration, and that it can be turned "off" in some mice. The discovery hopes to harbor in a new age where organ donation will not be required for patients to recover from damaged tissue, and we could grow our arms and legs back even if they were crippled beyond repair or removed entirely.

The "God Helmet"

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 21:09:36 PST

In the University of Sudbury, Canada, there is a device that reportedly synthesizes paranormal experiences by manipulating the brain by using electromagnetic stimulation at specific and complex frequencies and patterns. Test subjects report with relative consistency that their experiences using the "God Helmet" are so profoundly spiritual that they feel absolutely real. But does this make illegitimate the experiences of those who simply had the experiences outside of Dr. Michael Persinger's lab?

Russia's New Flying Saucer Technology

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 23:18:46 PST

Somehow escaping the attention of the mainstream, Russia has begun building production facilities under an aerial research and development company in the hopes of harboring a new age of incredibly powerful, fast, energy efficient, and stable vehicles. Current projections of what the vehicles will be capable of are staggering, but even more incredible is the similarities these vehicles share with commonly reported unidentified flying objects. And many analysts are saying this is no mere coincidence.

A new method of creating electrical energy has been developed by scientists studying nano-technology at MIT through the use of a previously undiscovered phenomena wherein microscopic wires can be used in certain formations to produce electricity at a scale that may lead to a breakthrough in future ultra-small electronic devices.

Cosmic Dust Discovered Aboard Spacecraft

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 03:38:48 PST

It may not sound like much, but the discovery of interstellar dust aboard the Stardust spacecraft means the 2.9 billion mile journey undertaken by the craft in a mission to collect dust that may tell us about the formation of the solar system and give us a firmer grasp of what conditions were like at the creation of the universe itself. And now that scientists have conclusively found these dust particles within the trapping mechanism of one of these craft, it will provide insight into what these conditions were like.

Imagine Your Hand as a Touch Screen Computer

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 23:45:12 PST

Imagine a world where your computer is not only at your fingertips, but directly controlled and interfaced on them. As technology got smaller, unfortunately screen size also suffered, but a new projection technology recently developed hopes to turn the viewing area on computers and personal devices such as cell phones into the user's own glowing skin. The technology was offered as a solution to problems many computer and personal device users have of small screens on smaller devices.

Anti Mosquito Laser Turrets

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 14:15:39 PST

A recently developed tool has been announced that will be able to track and shoot mosquitoes in midair using lasers. The device was demonstrated recently, and claims that it can use an intense highly trained laser attached to an automated laser turret defense system to not only track the movements of mosquitoes, but zap them from a distance. In addition to being an incredibly futuristic pest control system, the mosquito laser defense system is expected to help reduce the death rate in countries where malaria death rates are staggering.

How do you make Ice with Fire?

Tue, 16 Feb 2010 18:26:53 PST

The prospect of making fire with ice is relatively simple, but how do you make ice with fire? With the ice you can convert the clear material into a lens that then acts as a magnifying glass of the sun's rays, but the prospect of making ice using fire is much more difficult. Scientists, have, however, discovered a way piquing the curiosity of many and establishing the truly mysterious nature of water.
