Boston (MA) – Scientists at MIT have recorded a nearly simultaneous world-wide increase in methane levels. This is the first increase in ten years, and what baffles science is that this data contradicts theories stating man is the primary source of increase for this greenhouse gas. It takes about one full year for gases generated [...]

Retailers may be having a tough time moving inventory, but they’re not using a Dreamoc to advertise. RealFiction’s latest blend of holographic technology, 3D imagery and mind-blowing eye candy has resulted in the device you see above. Hailed as a 3D display system designed “especially for high profile brands in a competitive retail environment,” this box possesses the innate [...]

More touch screen action but with a mirror! Bit too Walt Disney for my liking some of the demo but it could be put do some good uses (the space invader part is cool).

Good to know all the facts about science people, then make your own mind up! Interesting video showing the clash between closed scientific thinking Vs open scientific thinking, what are your thoughts? I prefer to know all the cards the universe is playing with…

The problem with the internet, as we all know, is that it gives free rein to loonies. Once upon a time, green inkers would rant away on writing paper, seal their 30-page global conspiracy theory into a recycled envelope and post it to a newspaper, which would drop it harmlessly into a wastepaper basket. Now [...]

A major threat to America has been largely ignored by those who could prevent it. An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack could wreak havoc on the nation’s electronic systems – shutting down power grids, sources, and supply mechanisms. An EMP attack on the United States could irreparably cripple the country. It could simultaneously inflict large-scale damage [...]

The water locked underneath icecaps or glaciers can tell us about our planet’s past and its possibly warmer future. Similar environments on distant worlds could tell us whether life can originate in these harsh conditions. To study the icy depths, a Swedish team of researchers is designing a tiny submersible that can slip down a [...]

“Governments around the world are rushing to develop military robots capable of killing autonomously without considering the legal and moral implications, warns a leading roboticist. But another robotics expert argues that robotic soldiers could perhaps be made more ethical than human ones.”

This tech was shown earlier this year, thought it was worth a repost as [...]

An international team of scientists has performed the ultimate miniaturisation of computer memory: storing information inside the nucleus of an atom. This breakthrough is a key step in bringing to life a quantum computer – a device based on the fundamental theory of quantum mechanics which could crack problems unsolvable by current technology.
